A vendor sells hot dogs, bags of potato chips, and soft drinks. A customer buys 4 hot dogs, 3 bags of potato chips, and 4 soft d

GuDViN [60]

The price of chips is $ 0.75, the price of a hot dog is $ 2 and the price of a soft drink is $ 1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A customer buys 4 hot dogs, 3 bags of potato chips, and 4 soft drinks for $15.25.

The price of a hot dog is $1.25 more than the price of a bag of potato chips.

The cost of a soft drink is $2.75 less than the price of two hot dogs.

To find the cost of each item.

Let,

The price of chips = x

The price of a hot dog = x+1.25

Price of two hot dog = 2(x+1.25) = 2x+2.5

The price of a soft drink = 2x+2.5-2.75 = 2x-0.25

Now,

According to the problem,

4(x+1.25)+3x+4(2x-0.25) = 15.25

or, 15x+5-1 = 15.25

or, 15x = 11.25

or, x = 0.75

Hence,

The price of chips = $ 0.75

The price of a hot dog = $ 0.75+1.25 = $ 2

The price of a soft drink = $ 2×0.75-0.25 = $ 1.25

A theatre has seats arranged in rows of 24, 382 people attend a show at the theatre. What is the smallest number of rows that is

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A minimum of 16 rows are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of rows minimum that could seat 382 people in rows of 24 seats.

Mathematically, what we need to do here is to make a division.

We shall divide the number of people by the number of seats in a row so that we can get the number of rows needed.

Mathematically, that would be; 382/24 = 15 22/24

We are looking at a minimum number.

So we can see that 15 rows will be filled, with an extra 22 seats in the next row leaving only 2 seats in the next row unoccupied.

So we can see that the minimum number of rows required is 16 rows

Your calculator says error because you cant have a square root of a negative number because there is no solution to that maybe recheck your equation and try again

A sea horse riding travels an average of 0.01 miles per hour. At that rate , how fast can a sea horse travel in 2.4 hours?

kondaur [170]

As for this problem, it would be best to approach this with a ratio to ratio approach. This would then involve the equation with fractions which is the common conversion from ratios to easily solve the problems concerning these. The equation then would look somehow like this:

0.01 miles / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours

The easiest way would be just to multiply the numerator, which is the miles, to 2.4. So when it is multiplied to the numerator, the equation then would turn to:

0.01 miles x 2.4 / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours

0.024 miles would be the answer.
