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.

Which of the following disjunctions is false?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Option C 3 + 4 = 9 or 5 · 2 = 11 is correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Disjunction states that if we have p or q then the disjunction is true if either p is true or q is true or p and q are true.

The disjunction is false when both p and q both are false.

1. 2 · 3 = 6 or 4 + 5 = 10

Disjunction is true because 2.3 =6 is true while 4+5=10 is false

2.  5 - 3 = 2 or 3 · 4 = 12

Disjunction is true because 5-3 =2 is true and 3.4=12 is also true.

3. 3 + 4 = 9 or 5 · 2 = 11

Disjunction is false because 3+4 =7 and not 9 and 5.2 =10 and not 11. Since both are false so, this disjunction is false.

4. 6 · 2 = 11 or 3 + 5 = 8

Disjunction is true because 6.2=12 and not 11 is false but 3+5 = 8 is true.

So, Option C 3 + 4 = 9 or 5 · 2 = 11 is correct answer.
