The cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Suppose, the cost of one drink is 
dollar and cost of one popcorn is 
dollar.
Given that, total cost for 2 drinks and 2 popcorns is $12.50 and total cost for 6 drinks and 5 popcorns is $33.75
So, the system of equations will be......
Multiplying equation (1) by -3 , we will get.....
Now, adding equation (2) and equation (3) , we will get ............
Plugging this 
into equation (1) ......
So, the cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75
As the price per hour worked is $11, then 11 is the coefficient (or multiplier) of the number of hours Rita and Tina had worked. As for Rita, she will receive an extra $32 flat wage for her total overtime hours, so it will not be multiplied any further. Expressing their total wages mathematically:
Rita's total wages = 11r + 32
Tina's total wages = 11t
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A dependent variable in an expression is one whose value can be determined only when the value of other variable (i.e independent) is known.
A. The cost at the fitness center depends on the number of months (x).
The cost is the dependent variable, and number of months (x) is the independent variable.
f(x) = 100 + 40x
Example, the cost paid for 12 months can be determined as;
f(12) = 100 + 40(12)
= 100 + 480
= 580
Thus, $580 would be paid for 12 months at the fitness center.
B. The lettuce is sold at $1.69 per pound. The cost depends on the number of pounds of lettuce bought.
The cost is the dependent variable, while the number of pounds of lettuce (x) bought is the independent variable.
So that;
f(x) = 1.69x
The cost of 10 pounds of lettuce can be determined as;
f(x) = 1.69(10)
= 16.9
Thus, the cost of 10 lb of lettuce is $16.90.
Answer:
y = 0.5 (x^2 -2x + 16) has a y-intercept of 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coordinate of every y-intercept is zero. To determine which of the four quadratics given here has a y-intercept of 8, we need only substitute 0 for x in each; if the result is 8, we've found the desired quadratic.
O y = 0.5(x + 2)(x + 4) becomes y = 0.5(2)(4) = 4 (reject this answer)
O y = 0.5 (x - 2)(x + 8) becomes y = 0.5(-2)(8) = -8 (reject)
O y = 0.5(x2 -2x - 16) becomes y = 0.5(-16) = -8 (reject)
<em>O y = 0.5 (x2 -2x + 16) becomes y = 0.5(16) = 8 This is correct; that '8' represents the y-intercept (0, 8).</em>
