Answer:

26 candy bars and 12 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations

I am going to call x the number of candy bars that Sally bought and y the number of sodas that Sally bought.

The fact that she bought 38 itens means the x + y = 38.

She spent $50.38. The value she spent is the sum of the number of candy bars multplied by the value of the candy bar and the number of sodas multiplied by value of a soda. So 1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38

So we have to solve the following system:

1)x + y = 38

2)1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38

From 1), we have that x = 38 - y. I am going to replace it in 2)

1.25(38-y) + 1.49y = 50.38

-1.25y + 1.49y = 50.38 - 47.5

0.24y = 2.88

y = 12.

Sally bought 12 sodas.

In 1: x = 38-y = 38-12 = 26

Answer:

  • 26 candy bars
  • 12 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of sodas Sally bought. (We chose sodas for the variable because those were the more expensive item.) Then the number of candy bars is (38-s), and we can write an equation for the total cost:

  1.25×(38 -s) + 1.49×s = 50.38

  0.24s + 47.50 = 50.38 . . . . simplify

  0.24s = 2.88 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 47.50

  2.88/0.24 = s = 12 . . . . number of sodas

  38-s = 38-12 = 26 . . . . . number of candy bars

Sally bought 26 candy bars and 12 sodas.

Scores for the local high school basketball teams from games played last week are shown in the table below.
Irina-Kira [14]

I, II, and III

Step-by-step explanation:

From dot plots, the steps used are;

  • ordering data from smallest to largest
  • Finding median
  • Finding median of both lower and upper half of the data
  • Finding the difference between the medians of both lower and upper half of the data.

From the histogram steps involved are

  • From the cumulative frequency histogram polygon, find the upper quartile which is 3/4* highest column value
  • locate value in step on in the c.f column on the y-axis
  • after locating the value on the c.f column, draw a horizontal line from that point to hit the polygon and draw a vertical line all the way down to hit x-axis, this is the upper quartile (Q3) value
  • Repeat the procedure for lower quartile using 1/4*the highest column value.
  • The range is obtained by finding the difference between upper quartile, Q3 and lower quartile Q1

From the box plot, the steps for finding interquartile range are;

  • Find Q1 which is represented  on a box plot by the left-hand edge of the box.(where the whisker stops)
  • Find Q3 which is represented on a box plot by the right hand edge of the box
  • Find the difference ,Q3-Q1, to get the interquartile range
