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

What is the measurment of angle P
Airida [17]

Answer:

65°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°. Meaning, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180.

(2x-9) + (2x+4) + x = 180

Combine like terms:

5x-5 = 180

5x = 185

x = 37

P = (2x - 9) = 2(37) - 9 = 74 - 9 = 65

The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by P(x) = -8x2 + 32x + 14.
andre [41]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by the function:

\displaystyle P(x) = -8x^2+32x+14

And we want to find the maximum profit of the company.

Since the function is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, the maximum profit will occur at its vertex. Recall that the vertex of a quadratic is given by:

\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)

Find the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex. In this case, <em>a</em> = -8, <em>b</em> = 32, and <em>c</em> = 14. Hence:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{(32)}{2(-8)}=\frac{32}{16}=2

To find the maximum profit, substitute this value back into the function. Hence:

\displaystyle P(2) = -8(2)^2+32(2) + 14 = 46

Therefore, the maximum profit of the company is 46 thousand dollars.

Our answer is C.
