Answer:

The price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent price of Cake with C and Price of Pie with P</em>

C = 9 + P

Cakes sold = 8

Pies sold = 14

Total = \$402

Required

Determine C and P

To represent the cakes and pies sold, we have the following expression

8C + 14P = 402

Substitute 9 + P for C

8(9+P) + 14P = 402

Open the bracket

72 + 8P + 14P = 402

Collect Like Terms

8P + 14P = 402 - 72

22P= 330

Divide both sides by 22

P = \frac{330}{22}

P = 15

Recall that

C = 9 + P

C = 9 + 15

C = 24

<em>Hence, the price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15</em>

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

the storage tank is a cylinder.

The formule to calculate the volume is:

v =\pi{r}^{2}  \times h

h = v \div \pi {r}^{2}

h = 1695.6 \div 36 \times \pi = 14.992

You are a waterman daily plying the waters of Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), the best-tasting crustacean i
notsponge [240]

The question given is incomplete, I googled and got the complete question as below:

You are a waterman daily plying the waters of Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), the best-tasting crustacean in the world. Crab populations and commercial catch rates are highly variable, but the fishery is under constant pressure from over-fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. These days, you tend to pull crab pots containing an average of 2.4 crabs per pot. Given that you are economically challenged as most commercial fishermen are, and have an expensive boat to pay off, you’re always interested in projecting your income for the day. At the end of one day, you calculate that you’ll need 7 legal-sized crabs in your last pot in order to break even for the day. Use these data to address the following questions. Show your work.

a. What is the probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs?

b. What is the probability that your last pot will be empty?

Answer:

a. Probability = 0.0083

b. Probability = 0.0907

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Poisson distribution with parameter λ=2.4

a)

The probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs is calculated below:

P(X=7)=  {e-2.4*2.47/7!} = 0.0083

b)

The probability that your last pot will be empty is calculated as:

P(X=0)=  {e-2.4*2.40/0!} = 0.0907
