The answer is chicken $8, duck $5

x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck

<span>he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
</span><span>he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

</span>50x + 30y = 550                divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550                 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55                                    Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8


Since 5x + 3y = 55  and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5

Few students manage to complete their schooling without taking a standardized admissions test such as the Scholastic Achievement
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there is a punitive removal of one point for an incorrect response.

Five undiscernable choices: 20% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.20*(1) + 0.80*(-1) = -0.60

Four undiscernable choices: 25% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.25*(1) + 0.75*(-1) = -0.50

I'll use 0.33 as an approzimation for 1/3

Three undiscernable choices: 33% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.33*(1) + 0.67*(-1) = -0.33 <== The approximation is a little ugly.

Two undiscernable choices: 50% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.50*(1) + 0.50*(-1) = 0.00

And thus we see that only if you can remove three is guessing neutral. There is no time when guessing is advantageous.

One Correct Answer: 100% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 1.00*(1) + 0.00*(-1) = 1.00

Solve the equation 0.5p -3.45= -1.2.​
ddd [48]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5p-3.45=-1.2

add 3.45 to -1.2 which would leave the equation to look like

0.5p=2.25

then divide 0.5 to both sides cancelling 0.5 leaving the answer to be

p=4.5
