Andrea claims that 2,899 rounded to the nearest hundred is 3,000. Zoe claims that 2,899 rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000

.
Which statement best explains who is correct?

A )Only Zoe is correct. The hundreds place rounds up to 9 and 2,899 rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000.

B )Only Andrea is correct. Since the tens place is a 9, the thousands place increases by 1.

C )Neither Andrea nor Zoe is correct. The number 2,899 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,800. The number 2,899 rounded to the nearest thousand is 2,000.

D )Both Andrea and Zoe are correct. The tens place and the hundreds place are both more than 5. So, 2,899 rounded to the nearest hundred or thousand is 3,000.

A candy store makes a 9-pound mixture of gummy candy, jelly beans, and hard candy. The cost of gummy candy is $2.00 per pound, j

Musya8 [376]

Let

x--------> the amount of gummy candy in pounds

y--------> the amount of jelly beans in pounds

z--------> the amount of hard candy in pounds

we know that

$x+y+z=9$ --------> equation $1$

$2x+3y+3z=23$ --------> equation $2$

$x=2y$ --------> equation $3$

Substitute equation $3$ in equation $1$ and equation $2$

$[2y]+y+z=9$ -----> $3y+z=9$ ------> equation $4$

$2[2y]+3y+3z=23$ -----> $7y+3z=23$ ------> equation $5$

using a graphing tool ------> Solve the system of equations

see the attached figure

the solution is the point $(3,2)$

$z=3\ pounds\\y=2\ pounds$

<u>Find the value of x</u>

$x=2y$

$x=2*2=4\ pounds$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the amount of gummy candy is $4\ pounds$

the amount of jelly beans is $2\ pounds$

the amount of hard candy is $3\ pounds$

Solve for a.<br> a^2=-3a+88

Sergio [31]

Answer:

$a=8,-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^2=-3a+88$

$a^2+3a=88$

$a^2+3a-88=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-88)} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+352} }{2}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{361} }{2}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm19 }{2}$

$x=-11$ and $x=8$

Therefore, the values of $a$ are 8 and -11.

Carrie has 40 more nickels than Joan has dimes. They both have the same amount of money. How many coins does each girl have? Wha

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $x$ and $y$ the amounts of nickels and dimes that Carrie and Joan have, as $c$ the total amount of money that both Carrie and Joan have. A nickel is a five cent coin and a dime is a ten cent coin.

The following equations are constructed after a careful reading on statement:

Carrie's amount of money:

$0.05\cdot x = c$ (Eq. 1)

Joan's amount of money:

$0.10\cdot y = c$ (Eq. 2)

Relation between amounts of coins:

$x = y+40$ (Eq. 3)

First we eliminate $c$ by equalizing (Eq. 1) and (Eq. 2):

$0.05\cdot x = 0.10\cdot y$

Then, we reduce the resulting formula by (Eq. 3):

$0.05\cdot (y+40) = 0.10\cdot y$

$y+40 = 2\cdot y$

$y = 40$

And rest of variable are now determined:

$x = 40+40$

$x = 80$

$c = 0.05\cdot (80)$

$c = 4$

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.
