C=coffee T=tea P=pastries
2/5C + 1/3T
2/5=6/15 1/3=5/15
6/15+5/15=11/15
11/15C&T+4/15P=15/15(total profits)
P=4/15

Answer:

C: ⁴/₁₅  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

C = fraction of profit from coffee sales

T = fraction of profit from tea sales

P = fraction of profit from pastry sales

C + T + P = 1

Subtract C + T from each side

P = 1 - C - T

  =  1 - ⅖ - ⅓

Give all terms the same denominator

Lowest common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.

P = ¹⁵/₁₅ - ⁶/₁₅  - ⁵/₁₅

Combine the numerators

15 - 6 - 4 = 4

P = ⁴/₁₅

Pastry sales made ⁴/₁₅ of the total profit.

HELP for (ii)…..how do we find a?
Mariana [72]

By using the information given on the graph, we can see that a = 3.

<h3>How to find the value of a?</h3>

Here we have an exponential of the form:

y = p*a^x

And by looking at the graph, it passes through (0, 4) and (2, 36), so we can write:

4 = p*a^0\\\\36 = p*a^2

From the first equation we get that p = 4, replacing that on the second one we get:

36 = 4*a^2\\\\36/4 = 9 = a^2\\\\\sqrt{9} = 3 = a

So we conclude that a = 3.

Can u solve it?<br> Find x,y,v and u.
ikadub [295]

Explanation:

Basically, you can do it in many ways. But just, in my opinion, exactly linear algebra was made for such cases.

the optimal way is to do it with Cramer's rule.

First, find the determinant and then find the determinant x, y, v, u.

Afterward, simply divide the determinant of variables by the usual determinant.

eg. \frac{Dx_{} }{D} and etc.

I think that is the best way to solve it without a hustle of myriad of calculations reducing it to row echelon form and solving with Gaussian elimination.
