After the booster club sold 40 hotdogs at a football game, it had 90$ in profit. After the next game, it had sold a total of 80

Let's first establish what we already know for this problem.

x = total number of hotdogs sold
y = total profit from total sales of hotdogs

Let's also establish the other equations which we will require in order to solve this problem.

Equation No. 1 -
Profit for 40 hotdogs = $90 profit

Equation No. 2 -
Profit for 80 hotdogs = $210 profit

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION

From this, we can use the formula y = mx + b & substitute the values for x & y from one of the two previous equations into the formula in order to obtain the values of m & b for the final equation. Here is an example of the working out as displayed below:

Firstly, using the first or second equation, we make either m or b the subject. Here I have used the first equation and made m the subject:

Equation No. 1 -
y = mx + b
90 = m ( 40 ) + b
40m = 90 - b
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40

Now, make b the subject in the second equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 2 -
y = mx + b
210 = m ( 80 ) + b
210 = 80m + b
b = 210 - 80m

Then, substitute m from the first equation into the second equation.

Equation No. 2 -
b = 210 - 80m
b = 210 - 80 [ ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - [ 80 ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - 2 ( 90 - b )
b = 210 - 180 - 2b
b - 2b = 30
- b = 30
b = - 30

Now, substitute b from the second equation into the first equation.

Equation No. 1 -
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
m = ( 90 - ( - 30 ) / 40
m = ( 90 + 30 ) / 40
m = 120 / 40
m = 3

Through this, we have established that:

m = 3
b = - 30

Therefore, the final equation to model the final profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x, is as follows:

y = mx + b
y = ( 3 )x + ( - 30 )

ANSWER:
y = 3x - 30

Ji-Hun and Kana are running a marathon. Due to the volume of people running, the starts occur in waves. Kana starts at 9:35 a.m.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

23.52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the number of miles that they would have run.

Kana starts at 9:35 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 7 mph.

Let the time she has spent so far be t.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance and t = time

=> d = s * t

Therefore, for Kana:

d = 7 * t = 7t _____________(1)

Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 am (25 minutes after Hannah) and runs at an average rate of 8 mph.

25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 0.42 hour

So, his time (compared to Kana's) is t - 0.42.

therefore, for Ji-Hun:

d = 8 * (t - 0.42)

=> d = 8t - 3.36 ____________(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7t = 8t - 3.36

=> 8t - 7t = 3.36

t = 3.36 hours

Therefore, let us find d:

d = 7 * 3.36 = 23.52 miles

So, Ji-Hun will catch up to Kana after 23.52 miles.

Answer:

4 + 6 \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{32}  +  \sqrt{16}  +  \sqrt{8}

\sqrt{32}  =  \sqrt{4 \times 4 \times 2}  =  4\sqrt{2}

\sqrt{16}  =  \sqrt{4 \times 4}  = 4

\sqrt{8}  =  \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2}  = 2 \sqrt{2}

4 +  4\sqrt{2}  + 2 \sqrt{2}  = 4 + 6 \sqrt{2}

Nookie1986 [14]
X the first account  interest = x/100*2 = 2x/100 
(x + 800)/100 * 4 =( 4x + 3200)/100 
2x/100 + (4x + 3200)/100 = 92
2x + 4x + 3200 = 9200 
6x = 6000
x = 1000
