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

16. [-12 Points]

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Answer: A. 5:4 Step-by-step explanation: Since the question mentions twelfths of a pie, it is easier to say each pie has 12 pieces or 36 total pieces ordered from the 3 pies. Ty ate 5 and Rob ate 15 which is 3 times more than Ty. A total of 20 pieces have been eaten from the 36 you started with. Eaten = 16. So the ratio is 20:16 which is simplified to = 20 and Remaining 5:4.

In Exercises 45–48, let f(x) = (x - 2)2 + 1. Match the<br> function with its graph

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

45) The function corresponds to graph A

46) The function corresponds to graph C

47) The function corresponds to graph B

48) The function corresponds to graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function f(x) is:

$f(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1$

45)

The function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=f(x-1)$

using f(x) we can find f(x-1)

$g(x)=((x-1)-2)^{2}+1=(x-3)^{2}+1$

If we take the derivative and equal to zero we will find the minimum value of the parabolla (x,y) and then find the correct graph.

$g(x)'=2(x-3)$

$2(x-3)=0$

$x=3$

Puting it on g(x) we will get y value.

$y=g(3)=(3-3)^{2}+1$

$y=g(3)=1$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (3,1) and it corresponds to (A)</u>

46)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x+2)$

$g(x)=((x+2)-2)^{2}+1$

$g(x)=(x)^{2}+1$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2x$

$0=2x$

$x=0$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(0)=(x)^{2}+1$

$g(0)=1$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (0,1) and it corresponds to (C)</u>

47)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x)+2$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1+2$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+3$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2(x-2)$

$0=2(x-2)$

$x=2$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(2)=(2-2)^{2}+3$

$g(2)=3$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,3) and it corresponds to (B)</u>

48)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x)-3$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1-3$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}-2$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2(x-2)$

$0=2(x-2)$

$x=2$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(2)=(2-2)^{2}-2$

$g(2)=-2$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,-2) and it corresponds to (D)</u>
