Kevin and Levi go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Kevin spends a total of $44.50 on 3 bags of

popcorn and 4 drinks. Levi spends a total of $84.00 on 4 bags of popcorn and 8 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

44.50 = 3 x + 4 y

84= 4x +8 y

each popcorn bag costs $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

The total cost for Kevin (44.50) is equal to the product of the number of popcorn bags bought (x ) and the price of each bag, plus the product of the number of drinks purchased (y) and the price of each drink (y).

Mathematically speaking

Kevin : 44.50 = 3 x + 4 y

Using the same process for Levi:

Levi : 84= 4x +8 y

The system is  

44.50 = 3 x + 4 y (k)

84= 4x +8 y (L)

If we multiply Kevin's equation by 2 and subtract it to Levi's equation:

89 = 6x +8y

          -

( 84= 4x +8 y)

----------------------

5 = 2x

solving for x

5/2= x

2.5 =x

each popcorn  costs $2.5

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

75% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can deduce the following;

sample size n= 8

sample mean μ = 4

standard deviation σ = 1

Using Chebychev’s theorem;

P(2 ≤ X ≤ 6) = P(2-4 ≤ (X - μ) ≤ 6-4)

= P(-2 ≤ (X-μ) ≤ 2) = P(|X-μ| ≤ kσ) ≥ (1 - 1/k^2) ≥ (1- 1/2^) = 1- 0.25 = 0.75 ( same as 75%)

STatiana [176]
Factoring, you have
  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2 -8) = -16(t -4)(t +2)

The ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, so
  0 = -16(t -4)(t +2)
  t = 4 or -2

The positive solution is the one of interest.
  It will take 4 seconds for the ball to hit the ground.

On a scale drawing, a bookshelf is 8 inches tall. The scale factor is 1/8. What is the height of the bookshelf?
lukranit [14]
8 inches = 1/8 of the real height of the book shelf
Multiply 8 by 8 because the question shows 1/8 of the book shelf
8x8=64
The book shelf is 64 inches.
Or 5 feet and 4 inches.
