Devon and his friends bought strawberry wafers for $3 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spen

t a total of $30 to buy a total of 22 packets of wafers of the two varieties.
Part A: Write a system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of strawberry wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Devon and his friends bought at the carnival. Define the variables used in the equations. (5 points)

Part B: How many packets of chocolate wafers and strawberry wafers did they buy? Explain how you got the answer and why you selected a particular method to get the answer. (5 points)

PART A
s = <span>the number of packets of strawberry wafers ;
c = </span><span>the number of packets of chocolate wafers ;
3 </span>× s + 1 × <span>c = 30 ;
s + c = 22 ;

PART B

</span>The method of solving "by substitution"<span> works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.
</span>
c = 30 - 3s;
s + ( 30 - 3s ) = 22;
30 - 2s = 22;
30 - 22 = 2s;
8 = 2s;
s = 4 ;
c = 30 - 12 ;
c = 18 ;

2a-6=4a<br><br> Solve for a<br><br> Check your work
algol [13]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2a - 6 = 4a

subtract 2a giving you -6 = 2a

divide by 2 from both sides so that a will be by itself

giving you -6 ÷ 2 = a

-6 ÷ 2 = -3

so a = -3

A company establishes a fund of 120 from which it wants to pay an amount,C, to any of its 20 employees who achieve a high-perfor
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

C=120/2=60

Step by step Explanation'

To solve this problem, we will need to apply trial-and-error calculation with the binomial distribution, even though it appears like Central Limit Theorem but it's not.

For us to know the value of C , we will look for a minimum integer such that having 'n' number of high performance level of employee has the probability below 0.01.

Determine the maximum value of C, then the maximum value that C can have is 120/n

Let us represent X as the number of employees with high performance with a binomial distribution of

P =0.02( since the percentage of chance of achieving a high performance level is 2%)

n = 20 ( number of employees who achieve a high performance level)

The probability of X= 0 can be calculated

P( X= 0) = 0.98^n

P(X=0)=0.98^20

P(X=0)=0.668

P(X=1)=0.02*20*0.98^19

P(X=1)=0.272

P(X=2)=0.02^2*20*0.98^18

P(X=2)=0.053

Summation of P( X= 0)+ P( X= 1)+P( X= 2) will give us the value of 0.993 which is greater than 0.99( 1% that the fund will be inadequate to cover all payments for high performance.)

BUT the summation of P( X= 0)+ P( X= 1) will give the value of 0.94 which doesn't exceed the 0.99 value,

Therefore, the minimum value of integer in such a way that P(X >2) is less than 0.01 have n= 2

then the maximum value that C can have is 120/n

C=120/2=60
