Answer:

Hand sanitizer=135 bottles

Bar soap=83 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the hand sanitizer and y the sop.

-Our problem can be expressed as:

x+y=218\ \ \ \ \  ...i\\\\4.25x+2.15y=752.20\ \ \ \ \  ...ii

#Make x the subject in i then substitute in ii to solve;

x=218-y\\\\\therefore 4.25(218-y)+2.15y=752.20\\\\926.5-4.25y+2.15y=752.20\\\\174.3=2.1y\\\\y=83\\\\x=218-83=135

Hence, 135 bottles of hand sanitizer and 83 bottles of bar soap were sold.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

  • commercial: 540 mph
  • private: 360 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance covered. The ratio of commercial to private speeds is ...

  2.4 : 1.6 = 3 : 2

If p is the speed of the private plane, then 3/2p is the speed of the commercial plane and the difference of speeds is ...

  3/2p -p = 180

  1/2p = 180 . . . collect terms

  p = 360 . . . . . . speed of the private plane

  3/2p = 540 . . . . speed of the commercial plane

The commercial jet flies 540 mph; the private plane flies 360 mph.

Tony is comparing two checking accounts. one has a monthly fee of $15 and a per-check fee of $0.20, and the other has a monthly
monitta
$20 minus $15 = $5 difference
$5 divided by $0.20 = 25 checks
*Now the accounts are even, except I haven't done the checks for the second account.*
25 checks times $0.10 = $2.50
$2.50 divided by $0.20 = 12.5 checks (round up in this case to 13)
*Now, you need to do 13 more checks on the second account*
13 checks times $0.10 = $1.30
$1.30 divided by $0.20 = 6.5 checks (round up in this case to 7)
*Now, you need to do 7 more checks on the second account*
7 checks times $0.10 = $0.70
$0.70 divided by $0.20 = 3.5 checks (round up in this case to 4)
*Now, you need to do 7 more checks on the second account*
4 checks times $0.10 = $0.40
$0.40 divided by $0.20 = 2 checks
*Now, you need to do 2 more checks on the second account*
2 checks times $0.10 = $0.20
$0.20 divided by $0.20 = 1 check
*Now, you need to do 1 more checks on the second account*
1 checks times $0.10 = $0.10
$0.10 divided by $0.20 = 0.5 checks (round up in this case to 1)
*Now, you need to do 1 more checks on the second account*
1 checks times $0.10 = $0.10
$0.10 divided by $0.20 = 0.5 checks
25 + 13 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 53 checks

Check your work!
Account #1- $15 + (53 times $0.20) = $25.60
Account #2- $20 + (53 times $0.10) = $25.30
