Answer:

The maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a function to represent the cost of her team's lunch in function of the number of people in the team. We have:

cost(x) = 15 + 6.25*x

Since she needs to stay on budget, the cost has to be less or equal to 170, therefore:

cost(x) \leq 170\\15 + 6.25*x \leq 170\\6.25*x \leq 170 - 15\\x \leq \frac{155}{6.25}\\x \leq 24.8

Since she can't buy 0.8 sandwiches, the maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.

Your beginning balance on your lunch account is $42. You buy lunch for $1.80 every day and sometimes buy a snack for $0.85. Afte
tangare [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: I bought 7 snacks

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

beginning balance = $42 = b

lunch = $1.80  = l

snack = $ 0.85  = s

final balance = $0.05 = f

                        f = b - 1.8l - 0.05s

                     0.05 = 42 - 1.8l - 0.85s

After 20 days I spent = 1.8(20) in lunches = $36

                    0.05 = 42 - 36 - 0.85s

                   0.05 = 6 - 0.85s

                  0.05 - 6 = -0.85s

                  -5.95 = -0.85s

                  s = -5.95/-0.85

                  s = 7

there is a beaker of 3.5% acid solution and a beaker of 6% acid solution in the science lab. Mr. Larson needs 200ml of 4.5% acid
disa [49]
Below are the choices:

A. 80 mL of the 3.5% solution and 120 mL of the 6% solution 

<span>B. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution </span>

<span>C. 140 mL of the 3.5% solution and 60 mL of the 6% solution </span>

<span>D. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution
</span>
Let fraction of 3.5% in final solution be p. 

<span>p * 3.5 + (1 - p) * 6 = 4.5 </span>

<span>3.5p + 6 - 6p = 4.5 </span>

<span>2.5p = 1.5 </span>

<span>p = 3/5 </span>

<span>3/5 * 200 = 120 </span>

<span>Therefore the answer is B. 120 ml of 3.5% and 80 ml of 6%.</span>

What is one difference between fixed rate mortgages and variable rate mortgages
AURORKA [14]

The difference between a fixed rate and an adjustable rate mortgage is that, for fixed rates the interest rate is set when you take out the loan and will not change. With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate may go up or down. Many ARMs will start at a lower interest rate than fixed rate mortgages.

a positive real number is 4 less than anther of the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 72 then find the numbers.​
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

3.657 and 7.657 to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 4

x^2 + y^2 = 72

From equation 1

x = y + 4 so

(y + 4)^2 + y^2 = 72

y^2 + 8y + 16 + y^2 - 72 = 0

2y^2 + 8y - 56 = 0

y^2 + 4y - 28 = 0

y = 3.657.

so x = 7.657.
