<h3><em><u>Question:</u></em></h3>

Lyla is shopping for school supplies. She has $20.00 to spend. She

plans to buy a package of pens for $4.98. She also wants to buy a

calculator. All calculators are being sold for 30 percent less than the

original price. write an inequality that can be used to find the original price, x, of a calculator lyla can buy.

<h3><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h3>

$4.98+0.7x\leq 20$ inequality that can be used to find the original price, x, of a calculator lyla can buy

<h3><em><u>Solution:</u></em></h3>

Given that,

Lyla has $ 20 to spend

So she can spend entire $ 20 or less than $ 20

Total amount she has = $ 20

She plans to buy a package of pens for $4.98

Cost of package of pens = $ 4.98

She also wants to buy a calculator

Let "x" be the original price of calculator

All calculators are being sold for 30 percent less than the original price

Selling price of calculator = original price - 30 % of original price

Selling price of calculator = x - 30 % of x = x - 0.3x = 0.7x

Selling price of calculator = 0.7x

<em><u>Thus a inequality can be framed as:</u></em>

Cost of package of pens + Selling price of calculator $\leq$ 20

$4.98+0.7x\leq 20$

This means that, combined cost of package of pen and selling price of calculator must be less than or equal to the amount with Lyla ( 20 $ )

Thus the inequality is found

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this one is tricky so b/c the lines are at 90 degees we know that the arcs are similar so set up the parts of the arcs equal to 360 degrees

360 = 130 + 130 + x + x

see each part of the circle ?

then use your mad algebra skilz

100 = 2x

50 = x

:) nice.. when I do the math , it seems easy , huh :DDD

A stereo store is offering a special price on a complete set of components (receiver, compact disc player, speakers, turntable).

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 240 ways

b) 12 ways

c) 108 ways

d) 132 ways

e) i) 0.55

ii) 0.4125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the components:

Receiver, compound disk player, speakers, turntable.

Then a purcahser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:

Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood => 5 offers

Compact disc player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics => 4 offers

Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk => 3 offers

Turntable: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics => 4 offers

a) The number of ways one component of each type can be selected =

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}5\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 5 * 4 * 3 * 4 = 240 ways$

b) If both the receiver and compact disk are to be sony.

In the receiver, the purchaser was offered 1 Sony, also in the CD(compact disk) player the purchaser was offered 1 Sony.

Thus, the number of ways components can be selected if both receiver and player are to be Sony is:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 1 * 1 * 3 * 4 = 12 ways$

c) If none is to be Sony.

Let's exclude Sony from each component.

Receiver has 1 sony = 5 - 1 = 4

CD player has 1 Sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Speakers had 0 sony = 3 - 0 = 3

Turntable has 1 sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Therefore, the number of ways can be selected if none is to be sony:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 4 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 108 ways$

d) If at least one sony is to be included.

Number of ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included =

Total possible selections - possible selections without Sony

= 240 - 108

= 132 ways

e) If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion.

i) Probability of selecting at least one Sony component=

Possible selections with at least one sony / Total number of possible selections

$\frac{132}{240} = 0.55$

ii) Probability of selecting exactly one sony component =

Possible selections with exactly one sony / Total number of possible selections.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right)}{240}$

$= \frac{(1*3*3*3)+(4*1*3*3)+(4*3*3*1)}{240}$

$\frac{27 + 36 + 36}{240} = \frac{99}{240} = 0.4125$
