Answer:

The total number of books is 1020.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the books by their first letter.

From the provided information:

  • S=\frac{3}{4}A
  • C=\frac{1}{4}T
  • H=\frac{1}{5}T
  • H = A-80

Compute the expression of <em>T</em> as follows:

H = A-80\\\\\frac{1}{5}T=A-80\\\\T=5A-400...(i)

Compute the value of <em>C</em> in terms of <em>A</em>:

C=\frac{1}{4}T\\\\C=\frac{1}{4}\times {5A-400}\\\\C=\frac{5}{4}A-100...(ii)

Compute the value of <em>A</em> as follows:

Use expressions (i) and (ii):

T=S+C+H+A\\\\5A-400=\frac{3}{4}A+\frac{5}{4}A-100+A-80+A\\\\5A-400=4A-180\\\\A=220

Compute the value of <em>T</em> as follows:

T=5A-80\\\\T=(5\times 220)-80\\\\T=1100-80\\\\T=1020

Thus, the total number of books is 1020.

There are a total number of 38 possible equally likely outcomes on a roulette wheel. Out of the 38 outcomes, there are 18 odd-nu
Andrews [41]

The probability of rolling an odd number is 9/19.

According to the statement

Total number of possible outcomes = 38

Odd numbered of outcomes = 18

Now we find the probability

Probability = possible outcomes / total outcomes

Probability = 18/38

Probability = 9/19

So, The probability of rolling an odd number is 9/19.

What is the quadratic equation of the curve of best fit shown below
Kisachek [45]
First off, we know that the y-interecept is 2, so there is going to be a plus two in the final equation. Now with the two answers input the number 8 to see which will output 6.

6 = 1/12(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/12 + 2
6 = 16/3 + 6/3
6 does not equal 22/3

6 = 1/16(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/16 + 2
6 = 4 + 2
6 = 6
This means that y = 1/16 x^2 + 2 is the correct answer. I hope that helps!
