<h3>Jason bought 20 stamps of $0.41 each and 8 postcards of $0.26 each.</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let stamps be s and postcards be p

Given that,

The number of stamps was 4 more than twice the number of postcards

s = 4 + 2p -------- eqn 1

Jason bought both 41-cent stamps and 26-cent postcards and spent $10.28

41 cent = $ 0.41

26 cent = $ 0.26

Therefore,

s \times 0.41 + p \times 0.26 = 10.28

0.41s + 0.26p = 10.28 --------- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

0.41(4 + 2p) + 0.26p = 10.28

1.64 + 0.82p + 0.26p = 10.28

1.08p = 10.28 - 1.64

1.08p = 8.64

Divide both sides by 1.08

p = 8

Substitute p = 8 in eqn 1

s = 4 + 2(8)

s = 4 + 16

s = 20

Thus Jason bought 20 stamps and 8 post cards

Which choice shows the coordinates of C’ if the trapezoid is reflected across the y-axis?
suter [353]
A reflection through the axis and is given by the following transformation rule:
 (x, y) -------> (-x, y)
 We have the following point:
 C = (5, 3)
 Applying the transformation rule we have:
 (5, 3) -------> (-5, 3)
 Therefore, C' is given by:
 C '= (- 5, 3)
 Answer:
 (-5, 3)

Answer:

12,000 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Area of it's base = 900 m²
  • Height of the pyramid = 40 m

The volume of a pyramid = 1/3 × area of base × height

= 1/3 × 900 × 40

= 300 × 40

= 12,000 m³

Taylor's computer randomly generate numbers between 0 and 4, as represented by the given uniform density curve.
MrRa [10]

12.5% is the percentage of numbers randomly generated by Taylor's computer that is less than 0.5.

An illustration of a numerical distribution with continuous results is a density curve. A density curve is, in other words, the graph of a continuous distribution. This implies that density curves can represent continuous quantities like time and weight rather than discrete events like rolling a die (which would be discrete). As seen by the bell-shaped "normal distribution," density curves either lie above or on a horizontal line (one of the most common density curves).

The percentage of numbers randomly generated by Taylor's computer are less than 0.5 is given by

P(0≤X≤0.5)

=\int_{0}^{0.5}\frac{1}{4}dx

=\frac{1}{4}x|^{0.5}_{0}

=\frac{1}{4}(0.5-0)

=0.25(0.5)

= 0.125

That is 12.5%
