Answer:
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = price of balcony tickets
y = price of orchestra tickets
y = 3x (1)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
Substitute y = 3x into (2)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
148(3x) + 76x = 3,640
444x + 76x = 3,640
520x = 3,640
x = 3,640/520
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into (1)
y = 3x (1)
y = 3(7)
y = 21
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.
Then the relative frequency is:
4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.
And we can assume that:
1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.
We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:
0.8*100% = 80%
0.2*100% = 20%
Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.
Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:
N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96
Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
This is how I would do it, hope this helps!
Y = 2x + 5
If you take the height at 10 days, 25 centimeters, after 10 more days the height is 45 centimeters, meaning for those 10 extra days the been plant grown 20 centimeters. Since we're told the plant is growing at a constant rate, this shows the bean plant is growing 2 centimeters per day. We can represent this with y = 2x. (After 10 days, the bean plant will be 20 centimeters, after 20 days, the bean plant will be 40 centimeters, etc.)
However, this is not completely true yet. As you can see, after the first 10 days the plant is not 20 centimeter, it's 25 centimeters. We already know the rate in which the plant is changing, but now we need to find the height that the plant was originally, before it started growing.
After the first 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. Since we know that the plant is growing 2 centimeters per day, we can subtract 20 from 25 to find the original height of the bean plant.
25 - 20 = 5
The bean plant was originally 5 centimeters.
This makes our final equation y = 2x + 5.
2x is the slope, and 5 is the y intercept.
Hope this helps1!
