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

\frac{110x}{100} + \frac{50y}{100} = 560

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 = \frac{38500}{60}

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.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance from home to store and back = 1/2 mile

In a week :

Number of times he walked from home to store and back = 1 time

Number of times she rode to store and back = 3 time

Note distance does not change whether she rode or walked:

Hence,

miles walked = 1/2 miles * 1 = 1/2 miles

Miles biked = 1/2 miles * 3 = 3/2 miles

Total Number of miles :

(1/2 + 3/2) = (1 + 3) /2 = 4/2 = 2 miles

vekshin1

Answer:

1.20 + 1.40x ≥ 5, or $1.20 + $1.40x ≥ $5

Step-by-step explanation:

So since you are only buying 1 soda and you are buying multiple bags of Cheetos so you are able to use you debit card and meet the requirement of at least $5, you can make the inequality:

1.20 + 1.40x ≥ 5, or $1.20 + $1.40x ≥ $5

where x is the number of bags of Cheetos.

What's wrong with the problem: 5pints times 1cup divided by 2 pints = 2.5cups
lys-0071 [83]
I don't really know how the table works, but there are two cups in a pint, so 5 pints * 0.5 pints would be 2.5 pints, and 2.5 pints divided by 2 pints would be 1.25 pints?
