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

14 kg of apples cost $154.how much would 16kg cost
ankoles [38]
We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

Sally bought some candy bars for $1.25 each and some sodas for $1.49 each. If she bought a total of 38 items and spent $50.38 ho
hammer [34]

Answer:

26 candy bars and 12 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations

I am going to call x the number of candy bars that Sally bought and y the number of sodas that Sally bought.

The fact that she bought 38 itens means the x + y = 38.

She spent $50.38. The value she spent is the sum of the number of candy bars multplied by the value of the candy bar and the number of sodas multiplied by value of a soda. So 1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38

So we have to solve the following system:

1)x + y = 38

2)1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38

From 1), we have that x = 38 - y. I am going to replace it in 2)

1.25(38-y) + 1.49y = 50.38

-1.25y + 1.49y = 50.38 - 47.5

0.24y = 2.88

y = 12.

Sally bought 12 sodas.

In 1: x = 38-y = 38-12 = 26

Use a truth table to show that P Qand (~PV Q) A (~QV P) are equivalen
kati45 [8]

Answer:  The given logical equivalence is proved below.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to use truth tables to show the following logical equivalence :

P ⇔ Q ≡ (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P)

We know that

two compound propositions are said to be logically equivalent if they have same corresponding truth values in the truth table.

The truth table is as follows :

P     Q      ∼P     ∼Q     P⇔ Q    ∼P ∨ Q     ∼Q ∨ P        (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P)

T     T         F        F             T            T                   T                       T

T     F         F        T             F             F                   T                       F

F     T         T        F             F            T                   F                       F

F     F         T        T             T            T                   T                       T

Since the corresponding truth vales for P ⇔ Q and (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P) are same, so the given propositions are logically equivalent.

Thus, P ⇔ Q ≡ (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P).

A shelf is designed so it will fit in a 90º corner between two walls. The shelf has dimensions, rounded to the nearest tenth, as
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will fit snugly in a 90º corner

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we simply need to check if the given sides of the shelf is right-angled.

So, we have:

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{242

Side\ 1 = Side\ 2 = 11

To check for right-angle triangle, we make use of:

Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2 = Hypotenuse^2

This gives:

11^2 + 11^2 = \sqrt{242}^2

121 + 121 = \sqrt{242}^2

242 = \sqrt{242}^2

242 = 242

This shows that the given sides of the shelf is a right-angled triangle.

Hence, it will fit the wall
