Answer:

Alec sold 26 bags of butter popcorn and 14 bags of caramel popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of bags of butter popcorn sold

y------> the number of bags of caramel popcorn sold

we know that

x+y=40 -----> equation A

5x+6.5y=221 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

see the attached figure

The solution is the point (26.14)

therefore

Answer:  The boy sold 26 bags of butter popcorn and 14 bags of caramel popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the boy scouts are selling two types of popcorn as part of a fundraiser, butter and caramel.

Butter popcorn sells for $5 per bag and caramel popcorn sells for $6.50 per bag. Till now, Alec has sold 40 total bags and raised $221.

We are to find the number of bags he has sold for each type of popcorn.

Let a and b represents the number of bags of butter popcorn and caramel popcorn that the boy sold.

Then, according to the given information, we have

a+b=40~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\5a+6.5b=221~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 5, we have

5a+5b=200~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Subtracting equation (iii) from equation (ii), we get

(5a+6.5b)-(5a+5b)=221-200\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5b=21\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{21}{1.5}\\\\\Rightarrow b=14.

From equation (i), we get

a+b=40\\\\\Rightarrow a+14=40\\\\\Rightarrow a=40-14\\\\\Rightarrow a=26.

Thus, the boy sold 26 bags of butter popcorn and 14 bags of caramel popcorn.

In Bangor it’s -3 F in Fairbanks it’s -12 F in Fargo it’s -8 F and in Calgary it’s -15 F in which city is to the coldest?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Calgary is the coldest

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple way to determine this will be to change the value of temperatures given in Fahrenheit to Celsius

32 F = 0°C

Formula to apply will be (T-32)×5/9 -------------where T is temperatures in Fahrenheit

Bangor is -3F-------------------change to Celsius

(-3-32)×5/9 =-35 × 5/9 = -19.44°C

Fairbanks is -12 ------------------------change to Celsius

(-12-32)×5/9 = -44 × 5/9 = -24.44°C

Fargo is -8 F ---------------------Change to Celsius

(-8-32)×5/9= -40×5/9 = -22.22°C

Calgary is -15 F-------------------------Change to Celsius

(-15-32)×5/9 = -47×5/9 = -26.11°C--------------coldest

Answer:

<h2>v=(13,-3)</h2>

solution,

- 2 =  \frac{x - 17}{2}  \:  \\  - 2 \times 2 = x - 17 \\  - 4 = x - 17 \\  - x =  - 17 + 4 \\  - x =  - 13 \\ x = 13 \\  \\ 7 =  \frac{y + 17}{2}  \\ 14 = y + 17 \\  - y = 17 - 14 \\  - y = 3 \\ y =  - 3

Therefore,

V=(13,-3)

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
