5. SHOPPING Two stores are having a sale on T-shirts

Mathematics
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x=20% discount

y=$5 discount

Step-by-step explanation:

let

x= % of discount

y= amount of discount

Price of t shirt in store S=20 - 20x

Price of t shirt in store T= 20 -y

Rose spends $63 for three T-shirts from store S and one from Store T

Store S=20-20x

Store T=20-y

3 shirts from store S=3(20-20x)

1 from Store T=20-y

3(20-20x) + (20-y)=63

60 - 60x + 20-y=63

-60x - y= -17 (1)

Manny spends $140 on five T-shirts from store S and four from Store T

5(20-20x)+4(20-y)=140

100-100x+80-4y=140

-100x - 4y= -40 (2)

Solve eq 1 and 2

-60x - y= -17

-100x - 4y= -40

Multiply (1) by -4

-4(-60x-y)= -17*-4

240x+4y=68 (3)

-100x-4y=-40 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

140x=28

x=28/140

x= 0.2

substitute the value of x in (1)

-60x - y= -17

-60(0.2)-y=-17

-12-y=-17

-y=-17+12

-y=-5

Divide both sides by -1

-y/-1=-5/-1

y=5

Therefore,

x=0.2=20% discount

y=$5

An arch is in the shape of a parabola. It has a span of 100 feet and a maximum height of 25 ft.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{100}(x-50)^2+25

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center is 24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

An arch is in the shape of a parabola. It has a span of 100 feet, the vertex lies at the center 50 and the maximum height of 25 ft.

Vertex at (50,25)

vertex form of the equation is

y=a(x-h)^2+k, (h,k) is the center

y=a(x-50)^2+25

the parabola starts at (0,0) that is (x,y)

0=a(0-50)^2+25

subtract 25 from both sides

-25=a(-50)^2

-25=a(2500)

divide both sides by 2500

a=-\frac{1}{100}

y=-\frac{1}{100}(x-50)^2+25

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center.

center is at 50, 10 feet from the center so x=40 and x=60

y=-\frac{1}{100}(40-50)^2+25

y=24

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center is 24 feet

A line includes the points (1, 9) and (0, 5). What is it’s equation in the slope-intercept form?
scoundrel [369]

Equation is y = 4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the slope of the line by m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). Here y2 = 5, y1 = 9, x1 = 1 and x2 = 0

⇒ m = (5 - 9)/(0 - 1) = 4

  • Step 2: Find y-intercept, b. Since the line passes through (0, 5) b = 5
  • Step 3: Write the equation in slope-intercept form

⇒ y = 4x + 5

What is a rational and irrational number?
KIM [24]

Answer:

In mathematics, a rational number is a number such as −3/7 that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Every integer is a rational number: for example, 5 = 5/1.

In mathematics, the irrational numbers are all the real numbers which are not rational numbers. That is, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps :)))

Sun, a kayaker, paddles 8 miles upstream (against the current) in 2 hours. Returning to her original location, she paddles downs
Virty [35]

Answer: a=8 and b=1


Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the paddling speed, and y represents the speed of the current.

Then Relative speed in upstream =x-y

Relative time in downstream=x-y

When she paddles upstream then distance covered by her=speed\times\ time

⇒8=(x-y)2 or 2(x-y)=8

Thus we get, a=1

When she paddles downstream then distance covered by her=speed\times\ time

⇒8=(x+y)1 or 1(x+y)=8

Thus we get b=1
