Answer:

a)After 6 days region D will catch region C

b) Region C will sell 13500 cookies and region D will sell 13600 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Cookies sold by region C more than region D= 1500-1200=300

But region D can sells 50 cookies every day i-e

50 cookies = 1 day

==> 1 cookie= 1÷50

==> 300cookies = 300÷50=6 days

So, after 6 days region D will catch up region C's

b) If sale stopped after 8 days;

Then sale of region C for 8 days = 1500×8=12000 cookies

so , total cookies sold = 1500 +12000=13500

For region D;

Before catching up region C cookies sold by region D = 1200

Till catching up region C - region D had also sold 1500 cookies,

and for 50 extra cookies than region C

next 8 days region D will sale =(1500+50)×8=1550×8=12400 cookies

So, total number of cookies sold by region D = 1200+12400=13600

10$ is spent on 2 big pails and 1 small one. A smail pail cosf half as much as each big one. How much is spent on a big pail? Ho

Mila [183]

Answer:

<u>$4</u> is spent on a big pail and <u>$2</u> is spent on a small pail.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

10$ is spent on 2 big pails and 1 small one.

A small pail cost half as much as each big one.

Now, to find the amount spent on a big pail and on a small pail.

Let the cost of a big pail be $x.$

And the cost of small pail be $\frac{x}{2} .$

As given, there are 2 big pails.

And the total money spent = $10.

According to question:

$(x+x)+\frac{x}{2}=10$

$2x +\frac{x}{2}=10$

$\frac{4x+x}{2} =10$

$\frac{5x}{2} =10$

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

$5x=20$

<em>Dividing both sides by 5 we get:</em>

$x=4.$

<em>The cost of a big pail</em> = $4.

<em>So, the cost of a small pail</em> = $\frac{x}{2} =\frac{4}{2}=\$2.$

Therefore, $4 is spent on a big pail and $2 is spent on a small pail.

LaShawn solved the equation below to the determine the solution.

alexira [117]

Answer:

x = all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x minus 8 = negative x + 4 (x minus 2)

3x - 8 = -x + 4(x - 2)

3x - 8 = -x + 4x - 8

3x - 8 = 3x - 8

3x - 3x = -8 + 8

0 = 0

Since the result is a true statement, but 0 = 0, x is equivalent to all real numbers.

Hope this helps!
