Answer: the cost of one chicken is $8

The cost of one duck is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one chicken.

Let y represent the cost of one duck.

Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. It means that

50x + 30y = 550- - - - - - - - - - - 1

This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. It means that

44x + 36y = 532- - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 44 and equation 2 by 50, it becomes

2200x + 1320y = 24200

2200x + 1800y = 26600

Subtracting, it becomes

- 480y = - 2400

y = - 2400/- 480

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 Intl equation 1, it becomes

50x + 30 × 5 = 550

50x + 150 = 550

50x = 550 - 150

50x = 400

x = 400/50

x = 8

Using the set of data below, which statements are true? Check all that apply. 13, 11, 16, 12, 42, 8 The mean of this data set is
Iteru [2.4K]
8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 42

Add together and divide by 6 to get the mean.

102/6 = 17

Find the middle of the data for the median.
(12 + 13)/2 = 12.5

The mean is 17, the median is 12.5, and the mean is more affected by the outlier.  17 (the mean) is not a good measure of center.

Answer:

  d  Dilation by a scale factor of 2 followed by reflection about the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, the transformation is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-2x, 2y)

So, a dilation by a factor of 2 is involved. That is what multiplies the coordinates by 2. Reflection in the y-axis is what negates the x-coordinate.

The transformations are ...

  Dilation by a scale factor of 2 followed by reflection about the y-axis

16.8 is 10% of what number? Someone help TWT
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

168

Step-by-step explanation:

16.8 = 10%

x = 100%

To get to 100%, you have to multiply 10 by ten and 16.8 by 10. Like this:

16.8 = 10%                   original equation

16.8 (10) = 10% (10)      * both sides by 10

168 = 100%                  simplify

On friday ,a museum had 185 visitors.on saturday,there were twice as many visitors as Friday.On Sunday, 50 fewer people visited
Taya2010 [7]
This is the equation
185+185(2)+185-50
185+370+185-50 (you multiply 185 times 2 first)
370+370-50 (you add 185 to 185)
740-50 (you add 370 to 370)
740-50=690
There were 690 visitors during these three days.
