Given

Ben and jerry’s sells 2 times more ice cream cones ($2) than shakes ($9)

last month’s sales totaled $3,900

Find out how many of each were sold.

To proof

Let us assume the number of shakes sold be x

as given in the question

they sell 2 times more ice cream cones  than shakes

than  the number of ice cream sold = 2x

sales totaled = $3,900

shakes cost = $9

ice cream cost = $2

FORMULA

value of the ice cream cones + value of the shakes = total cost

2x (2) + x(9) =  3900

4x + 9x = 3900

13x = 3900

x = 300

The number of shakes sold be 300

The number of ice cream cone sold be 600

Hence proved

Lets say Ben and Jerry sold 'x' number of shakes.

If they have sold 'x' number of shakes then they must have sold 2\times x=2x number of cones.

Now, each ice cream cone costs $2.00 and each shake costs $9.00.

Last month the total sale totaled $3,900.00

Now,

The equation to represent the relation between the total sales and number of ice cream cons, number of shakes sold is given by:

2\times x(2x)+9\times (x)=3900

4x+9x=3900

13x=3900

Solving for 'x' we get:

x=\frac{3900}{13} =300

We had assumed that 'x' number of shakes were sold, therefore we know that 300 shakes were sold and 2\times x numbers of cones were sold which means 2 \times 300=600 ice cream cones were sold.

So, 600 ice cream cones were sold and 300 shakes were sold last month.

Hello.

To get the volume 5184 in3 you can use the dimension 18in x 24in x 12in.

First, you should draw a picture of your shipping container. It is a rectangular prism that is 5 by 12 by 4.

Next, let's look at the boxes of apples that will go into the box. The volume has to be 5184 in^3. If we divide it by 12 and 12, the answer is 3. Therefore, we could make a box that is 1 foot by 1 foot by 3 feet. 

Those boxes would be stack on the base without any left over space. Now, just figure out how many would go on the next rows. They would be able to stand up and down.

Have a nice day.

Given: If you live in Orlando, then you live in Florida.
____ [38]

Answer:

The law of detachment and syllogism is valid here

Explanation:

The law of detachment and syllogism is associated with inductive reasoning. This law states that a conclusion is valid if the premise or hypothesis is valid, therefore if a then b. In others a results in b.

The law of detachment is denoted

[(a→b)∧a]→b

The law of syllogism derives from the law of detachment. Syllogism says that if a results in b and b results in c, then a results in c. In other words since a causes b and b causes c, then if a then c.

It is denoted

[(a→b)∧(b→c)]→(a→c)

In the above example, given: If you live in Orlando, then you live in Florida

Morgan does not live in Orlando, therefore it is concluded that he does not live in Florida
