<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

If the area of the larger circle is 25 times the area of the smaller circle, then the radius of the larger circle is how many ti
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

easy peasy (again)

Step-by-step explanation:

given is that, area of the larger one is 25 times more than the smaller one

so, just put it in the area formula,

let the radius of the larger circle be represented by = R

and of the smaller circle be = r

then, (pi) (R)^2 =25 x (pi) (r)^2

=> dividing the equation by pi on both sides, also taking square root on both sides

=> R = 25 r

that would be the radius of the larger circle is 25 times bigger than the smaller radius

(all u need is to pay attention to the data given in the question and the relation between all that data itself) then it'll look like magic of how the question gets solved...the answer is always in front of you, only thing is to look harder ...good luck with what you are aiming to achieve

Select all expressions whose value is negative
il63 [147K]

Answer:

"2 + 2(-3)(7) = negative

-2(27 ÷ 9)+4= negative

(14 ÷ -2)(-6)= positive

(4 - 10) - ( 8 ÷ ( -2))= negative

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 2(-3)(7) = -40

-2(27 ÷ 9)+4= -2

(14 ÷ -2)(-6)= 42

(4 - 10) - ( 8 ÷ ( -2))= -2"

Use the figure to determine the value of X and y
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

100,80

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite angle theorem states that, : "When two lines cross four angles are created and the opposite angles are equal."

y°=80°

Now, check that , x° and y° are in one straight line. A straight line has angle of 180°. So x° and y° should sum up to 180°

x° + y° = 180°

x° + 80° = 180°

x° = 100°
