Members of a youth group held a bake sale to raise money for their summer trip. They sold 30 cakes, 40 pies, and 200 giant cooki

es, and raised a total of $684.50. The price for a pie was $2.00 less than the price of a cake. The price of a cake was 5 times as much as the price for a giant cookie. Find the price for each item at the bake sale

Answer: Cost of  a giant cookies = $1.39

Cost of a cake= $6.95

Cost of a pie= $4.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of a giant cookie = x

Then,

price of a cake = 5x

Price of a pie = 5x-2

Cost of  30 cakes, 40 pies, and 200 giant cookies = 30 (5x)+40(5x-2)+200x

= 150x+200x-80+200x   [By distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac]

= 550x-80

Given cost = $684.50

\Rightarrow\ 550x-80=684.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 550x= 684.50+80

\Rightarrow\ 550x=764.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{764.50}{550}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1.39

Cost of  a giant cookies = $1.39

Cost of a cake = 5 x $1.39  = $6.95

Cost of a pie = $6.95 -  $2 = $4.95

Answer:

  1. 1/3
  2. y-axis
  3. (1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length AC is 3, but the corresponding length FD is 1, so the dilation factor is FD/AC = 1/3.

The reflection is a left/right reflection, so it is across a vertical line. We suspect the only vertical line you are interested in is the y-axis. (It could be reflected across x=1/2, and then the only translation would be downward.)

The above transformations will put C' at (1, 0). Since the corresponding point D is at (2, -2), we know it is C' is translated by (1, -2) to get to D.

  C' + translation = D

  (1, 0) +(1, -2) = (2, -2)

In triangle abc, m of acb = 90, cd is perpendicular to ab , m of acd is 60. and bd is 5 cm. find ad
weeeeeb [17]

Let us draw a picture to make the things more clear.

Attached is the image.

We have been given that

\angle acd = 60 ^{\circ}

Therefore, we have

\angle dcb =90- 60= 30 ^{\circ}

Now, in triangle bcd, we have

\tan30 = \frac{5}{cd}\\
\\
\frac{1}{\sqrt 3}=\frac{5}{cd}\\
\\
cd=5\sqrt 3

Now, in triangle acb, we have

tan 60 = \frac{ad}{5\sqrt3} \\
\\
\sqrt 3=  \frac{ad}{5\sqrt3}\\
\\
ad= 5\sqrt3 \times \sqrt 3\\
\\
ad= 5\times 3\\
\\
ad=15

Thus, ad is 15 cm.

Which ordered pair does NOT lie on the graph of h(x)=-2x + 7
goblinko [34]

Answer: A (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To know which oredered pairs does not lie on the graph, you must substitute the x-coordinate of each one of thm into the function and if you obtain the y-coordinate shown in that ordered pair, then that point lies on the graph.

2. Therefore, you have:

A. x=-2

h(x)=-2(-2)+7=11 (It does not lie on the graph).

B. x=--1

h(x)=-2(-1)+7=9 (It lies on the graph).

C. x=3

h(x)=-2(3)+7=1 (It lies on the graph).

D. x=4

h(x)=-2(4)+7=-1 (It lies on the graph).

Therefore, the answer is the option A.
