Target sells AAA batteries for $1.10 and AA batteries for $0.50. They sold 350 total batteries earning a total of $560. How many
AAA batteries did target sell?
1 answer:
Answer:
This is not possible because the selling of number of AA batteries cannot be negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the number of AAA batteries sells be x .
Let us assume that the number of AA batteries sells be y.
As given
Target sells AAA batteries for $1.10 and AA batteries for $0.50. They sold 350 total batteries earning a total of $560.
Equations becomes
x + y = 350
1.10x + 0.50y = 560
Simplify the above equation
110x + 50y = 56000
Two equations becomes
x + y = 350
110x + 50y = 56000
Multiply x + y = 350 by 50 and subtracted from 110x + 50y = 56000 .
110x - 50x + 50y - 50y = 56000 - 17500
60x = 38500
x = 641 .6 (Approx)
Put this value in the equation x + y = 350 .
641.6 + y = 350
y = 350 - 641.6
y = -291.6
This is not possible because the selling of number of AA batteries cannot be negative.

We have the mean, μ = 20 and the standard deviation, σ = 4
X ≈ N(20, 4²)
We want P(X<15)
Standardising gives
P(X<15) = P(Z<
)
P(X<15) = P(Z< -1.25) ⇒ When the value of the z-score is negative, we will read the value of z<1.25 on the z-table then subtract the answer from 1
P(X<15) = 1 - P(Z<1.25)
P(X<15) = 1 - 0.8944
P(X<15) = 0.1056
Hence, the probability that pizza takes less than 15 minutes to be delivered is 0.1056 = 10.56%
