Answer:

64 carnations and 16 roses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events committee buys 80 flowers

The flowers are a combination of carnations and roses.

Each carnation costs $0.50 and each rose costs $2.50

The committee spends a total of $72

<u>Solution:</u>

<u />

Let there be  (c) carnations and (r) roses.

So,

c + r = 80 flowers

and $0.50c + $2.50 = $72

This forms a simultaneous equation:

c + r = 80 ... (i)

0.5c + 2.5r = 72 ... (ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 0.5 and equation (ii) by 1 gives;

0.5c + 0.5r = 40 ... (i)

0.5c + 2.5r = 72 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i)  from (ii) gives;

0c + 2r = 32

2r = 32

r = 32 ÷ 2 = 16

Therefore, there are 16 roses

and 80 - 16 = 64 carnations

Find the measures of the interior
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Angle 1 =  108°

Angle 2 =  72°

Angle 3 =  120°

Angle 4 =  96°

Angle 5 =  144°

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the measures of the interior  angles in a pentagon if the measure  of each consecutive angle is in the  ratio 9:6:10:8:12.

Let x be the common ratio

So, we can write:

Angle 1 = 9x

Angle 2 = 6x

Angle 3 = 10x

Angle 4 = 8x

Angle 5 = 12x

We know that the <em>sum of all angles of pentagon = 540</em>

So, adding all angles and equal them to 540, we can find value of x

9x+6x+10x+8x+12x=540\\45x=540\\x=\frac{540}{45}\\x=12

So, we get the value of x: x=12

Now, calculating the angles by putting x=12:

Angle 1 = 9x = 9(12) = 108°

Angle 2 = 6x = 6(12) = 72°

Angle 3 = 10x = 10(12) = 120°

Angle 4 = 8x = 8(12) = 96°

Angle 5 = 12x= 12(12) = 144°
