Hey there!!

Given :

The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.

The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.

<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>

Now, let's get these into an equation.

<em>Peter's equation</em> :

... 2p + 5s = 61

<em>Jessica's equation : </em>

...3p + 4s = 67

......................................................................................................

2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)

3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)

Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.

6p + 15s = 183

6p + 8s = 134

S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>

... 7s = 49

Divide both sides with 7.

... s = 7

<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>

Hope my answer helps!!

12 10,9,68,12<br> What is the most appropriate measure of center?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: The most appropriate measure of center is the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The measure of center generally represented by 1) mean 2) median 3) mode.
  • Mean is the best measure to represent the center of the data but when data have outliers it gets affected badly.
  • In that case, we use the Median as the best measure of center.

The given data is 12 10,9,68,12 .

As it can be seen that, the data have extreme value 68 ( called outliers).

In this case, we will use the Median as the best measure of center.

So, the most appropriate measure of center is the median.

The price, P, of a sweater was discounted by 10% in
aalyn [17]

Answer:

In terms of P, the price of the sweater after the discount is 0.72P.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price P would represent 100% and the price was discounted by 10%, you can calculate 10% of 100% and subtract that amount, which would be:

100*10%=10

100-10=90%

This means that the price paid would be 90% of P. Then, the statement says that the price was discounted by another 20%. So, you have to calculate 20% of the price and subtract that amount from the price:

90*20%=18

90-18=72%

According to this, this means that in terms of P, the price of the sweater after the discount is 0.72P.

Please help this is due today.

Answer:

b = 90

c=80

d =100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Find b, c and d

First, we solve for b using:

b + 10 + b - 10 = 180 --- base angles of a parallelogram

Collect like terms

b + b =180+10-10

2b = 180

Solve for b

b = 180/2

b = 90

Then, we have:

d =b + 10

c = b - 10 --- opposite angles

So, we have:

d =90 + 10

d =100

c = 90 - 10

c=80
