A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes : large and small. The large boxes weigh 45 pounds each, and the small boxes
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

we have 60 large boxes and 50 small boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:

  Let x = number of large boxes

       y = number of small boxes

Now, "There are 110 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 110

Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:

    (pounds per box)*(number of boxes)

pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4200pounds

                 "the truck is carrying a total of 4200 pounds in boxes"

 

        (45)*(x)                   +              (30)*(y)                  = 4200

Now, Solve for one of the variables in the first equation then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in the second.  Let's solve for x:

   x = 110 - y          [from eq1]

 

    45(110-y) + 30y = 4200            [from eq2]

     4950 - 45y  + 30y= 4200         [distribute]

     4950 - 15y = 4200

      -15y = -750

         y = 50           [divide both sides by (-15)]

 

 There are 50 small boxes.

 

Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:

  x = 110 - y

  x = 110 - 50

  x = 60

 There are 60 large boxes.

Now, let's verify our solution:

 

Is   60+50= 110 ?       [eq1]

         110 = 110 ? yes!

Is  60(45) + 50(30) = 4125   ?

     2700 + 1500 = 4200 ?

       4200 = 4200 ? yes

So we have 60 large boxes and 50 small boxes.

At a coffee shop, 70% of the customers buy a coffee drink, 30% buy food, and 20% buy both a coffee drink and food. Are buying fo
Shkiper50 [21]

Yes.

70% of the customers buy a coffee drink and 30% buy food.

The sum of it is 100% already.

So 20% of it just another addition of information since it cannot exceed 100% of percentage (100% + 20% = 120%).

It also contains a subset for both percentage.

Step2247 [10]
Answer: 5/12 of the whole pizza

So we start we the whole pizza = 1
Then he ate 3/8:
1 - 3/8
And then 2/3 of what was left:
2/3(1 - 3/8)
2/3 - 1/4
8/12 - 3/12
5/12

My last function question. Please break this down for me. Brainliest answer will be given
cupoosta [38]
Remember these two combinations: logab=loga+logb, log(a/b)=loga-logb
3logx=logx^3
(1/2)log(x+2)=log(x+2)^(1/2)
2log(z-4)=log(z-4)^2
so the given expression can be combined into log{[(x^3)(z-4)^2]/(x+2)^(1/2)}
