Penelope is raising money for a school trip by selling bags of chips and fruit snacks. The price of each bag of chips is $1.75 a

nd the price of each fruit snack is $1.50. Yesterday Penelope made $42.50 and sold 15 more bags of chips than fruit snacks. Determine the number of bags of chips sold and the number of fruit snacks sold

Answer:

The number of bags of chips sold was 20 and the number of fruit snacks sold was 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of bags of chips sold

y ---> the number of fruit snacks sold

we know that

Penelope made $42.50

so

$1.75x+1.50y=42.50$ ----> equation A

Penelope sold 15 more bags of chips than fruit snacks.

$x=y+15$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$1.75(y+15)+1.50y=42.50$

solve for y

$1.75y+26.25+1.50y=42.50\\3.25y=16.25\\y=5$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

$x=5+15=20$

therefore

The number of bags of chips sold was 20 and the number of fruit snacks sold was 5

Since Area equals length times width

A=L x W

And its asking twice its width

The height is 15 so if you add it its 30

So to get the answer you multiply 30 times 15 and you will get 450

Hope this helped you :D

For a fair coin, suppose you toss the coin 100 times.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0005 = 0.05% probability of getting more than 66 heads.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with $\mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$ .

For the binomial distribution, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 100, p = 0.5.

Hence the mean and the standard deviation of the approximation are given as follows:

$\mu = np = 100(0.5) = 50$ .

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.5)(0.5)} = 5$

Using continuity correction, the probability of getting more than 66 heads is P(X > 66 + 0.5) = P(X > 66.5), which is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 66.5</u>.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{66.5 - 50}{5}$

Z = 3.3

Z = 3.3 has a p-value of 0.9995.

1 - 0.9995 = 0.0005.

0.0005 = 0.05%

On Saturday, Conner drives 62 1/4 miles each hour. If he travels for 4 hours, how many miles does he travel altogether? please h

Taya2010 [7]

You would multiply 62 1/4 and 4. Which you cant do that so you would have to make it into a inproper fraction so that will be 249/4 times 4/1 then you can multiply which your answer would be 996 /4 and then in simplest form would be 249/1= 249

Raymond built a “rocket" made from a cylinder and a cone. He filled the rocket

lianna [129]

Answer:

Rocket can hold maximum 4.5 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the rocket = Volume of the cone on the top + Volume of the cylinder at the bottom

Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$

Here r = radius of the circular base

h = height of the cone

Volume = $\frac{1}{3}\pi (4)^{2}(14)$

= $\frac{224\pi }{3}$ cubic inch

Volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^{2}h$

Here r = radius of the base

h = height of the cylinder

Volume = $\pi (4)^{2}(16)$

= 256π cubic inches

Volume of the rocket = $\frac{224\pi }{3}+256\pi$

= $\frac{992\pi }{3}$

= 1038.82 cubic inches

Since 231 cubic inches volume of a rocket can hold water = 1 gallon

Therefore, 1038.82 cubic inches space can hold water

= $\frac{1038.82}{231}$

= 4.497

≈ 4.5 gallons

Rocket can hold 4.5 gallons of water.
