Answer: 19 cupcakes and 37 cookies were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Jesse sold yesterday.

Let y represent the number of cookies that Jesse sold yesterday.

If he sold 56 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means that

x + y = 56

Each cupcake sold for $1.50 and each cookie sold for $0.25. At the end of the day, Jesse had sold $37.75 worth of cookies and cupcakes. This means that

1.5x + 0.25y = 37.75 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.5(56 - y) + 0.25y = 37.75

84 - 1.5y + 0.25y = 37.75

- 1.5y + 0.25y = 37.75 - 84

- 1.25y = - 46.25

y = - 46.25/ - 1.25

y = 37

x = 56 - y = 56 - 37

x = 19

HELP, I AM UTTERLY CONFUSED *20 points

Ok so this question is a bit complicated, but it's easier to understand if you break it down into smaller parts!

1) First, you know that ABGF is half the perimeter of ACDE. This means that the length of one side of ABGF must be 1/2 the length of one side of ACDE.
>> You can think of this by putting in random numbers. Say the perimeter of the larger square is 24 and the perimeter of the smaller square is 12. That means one side of the larger square of 24/4 (b/c four sides) = 6 and one side of the smaller square is 12/4 = 3!

2. Ok know you know the lengths of the sides relative to each other, but you're only given one value: 4in. Since the smaller square has sides that are 1/2 the larger squares, you know that it makes up 1/4 of the larger square! So imagine 4 of those smaller squares filling up that larger square to make a 2 by 2. It just so happens that 4in is the diagonal going through one of our imaginary squares, which is equal in size to ABGF!

3. Now use the 45-45-90 rule to figure out the length of one side of that imaginary square because the 4in diagonal splits that imaginary square into two of those 45-45-90 triangles. You know the hypotenuse of that triangle is 4in. That means one of the legs is 4/✓2 (since the rule says that the hypotenuse and the leg are in a ✓2:1 ratio). And like we said before the length of that leg is the length of the side of our imaginary square. And our imaginary square must be the same size as ABGF! So now we know the side of the smaller square to be 4/✓2!

4. Multiply the side of the smaller square by 2 to get the side of our larger square. (4/✓2)*2=8/✓2

5. Now to find the area of the shaded region, just find the area of the smaller square ABGF and subtract from the larger square ACDE. Use equation for the area of a square!
a =  {s}^{2}
where s=the length of one side.

The length of one side of the smaller square is 4/✓2. So it's area is:
{( \frac{4}{ \sqrt{2} }) }^{2}  =  \frac{16}{2}  = 8

The length of one side of the larger square is 8/✓2. So it's area is:
{ ( \frac{8}{ \sqrt{2} }) }^{2}  =   \frac{64}{2}   = 32

Now subtract. 32-8=24! :)

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

The owner of a convenience store keeps track of how many customer buy lunch food during the "noon rush" each day for four days a
alexdok [17]

Answer:

c) 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of customers came in on the fifth day.

We have been given that the mean number of customers for those four days is 52. So total number of customers on 4 days would be 4 times 52 that is 208 customers.

We know that mean of a data set is equal to sum of all data points divided by number of data points.

Total number of customers on 5 days would be 208+x and total number of days is 5.

Since we need a mean of 54, so we can set mean of 5 days equal to 54 as:

\frac{208+x}{5}=54

Multiply both sides by 5:

\frac{208+x}{5}*5=54*5

208+x=270

208-208+x=270-208

x=62

Therefore, 62 customers must come in on the fifth day to make the five-day mean 54 and option 'c' is the correct choice.
