Answer:

The number sold at $12.50 is  25

The number sold at $9.50 is 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

x 12.50 + y 9.50=901.50

x+y= 87

Where

x= number of pottery pieces sold

y= number of pottery pieces sold at a decreased price  

Multiplying the second equation by 9.50, and subtracting the second equation to the first equation:

12.50 x + 9.50y = 901.50

-

9.50 x+ 9.50 y= 826.5

__________________

3 x = 75

Solving for x

x =75/3

x = 25

Replacing x=25 on any equation:

x+y= 87

25+y =87

y=87-25

y= 62

To win a trivia game, Nathan must score at least 75 points. Each correct answer is worth 2 1/2 points , and each incorrect answe
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

He scored 79\frac{1}{2} points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of points for a correct answer = 2\frac{1}{2}

Number of points scored for an incorrect answer = -\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, for 35 correct answers, points scored = 35\times 2\frac{1}{2}=35\times \frac{5}{2}=\frac{175}{2}

Now, for 32 incorrect answers, points scored = 32\times -\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{32}{4}=-8

Therefore, net number of points scored by Nathan is:

\frac{175}{2}-8=\frac{175}{2}-\frac{16}{2}=\frac{175-16}{2}=\frac{159}{2}=79\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, Nathan scored 79\frac{1}{2} points.
