Answer: The School band sold a total of; 180 hamburgers and 120 hotdogs.

Step-by-step explanation: For a start we shall represent hotdogs by the letter d and hamburgers by the letter b. If they sold a total of 300 hotdogs and hamburgers, then we can express this as, d + b = 300.

Also if one hotdog was sold for $2 and one hamburger was sold for $3, and altogether realized $780,this can also be expressed as, 2d + 3b = 780.

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations as follows;

d + b = 300 ———(1)

2d + 3b = 780 ———(2)

From equation (1), make d the subject of the equation. Therefore d = 300 - b

Substitute for d into equation (2)

2(300 - b) + 3b = 780

600 - 2b + 3b = 780

Collect like terms

3b - 2b = 780 - 600

b = 180

We can now substitute for the value of b into equation (1)

d + b = 300

d + 180 = 300

Subtract 180 from both sides of the equation

d = 120

Therefore, the school band sold 180 hamburgers and 120 hotdogs

Answer:

180 hamburgers

120 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold

We proceed as follows;

Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.

We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;

x + y = 300 ..........(I)

Now let’s look at the prices.

x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs

y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.

Adding both to give total, we have ;

2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)

This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y

Now let’s insert this in the second equation;

2(300-y) + 3y = 780

600-2y + 3y = 780

y = 780-600 = 180

Recall; x + y = 300

x = 300 -y

x = 300-180 = 120

Roger served 5/8 pound of cracker wich was 2/3 of the entire box what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box
horrorfan [7]
Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds

Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8

Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds

Hope this helps :)

You are riding a roller coaster when a shoe falls off your foot. The function y=200−16t^2 represents the height y (in feet) of t
pickupchik [31]
A graphing calculator shows it takes 3.25 seconds for the shoe to hit the building.

_____
200 -16t^2 = 31
169 = 16t^2
√(169/16) = t
t = 13/4 = 3 1/4

What are the solutions to the system of equations? {y=2x2+6x−10 y=−x+5
inessss [21]
Answer: x = -5, 3/2 y = 10, 7/2

Explanation:

y = 2x^2 + 6x - 10 (1)
y = - x + 5 (2)

=> 2x^2 + 6x - 10 = - x + 5
2x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0
(2x - 3)(x + 5) = 0
=> 2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 3/2
=> x + 5 = 0
x = -5

According to (2):

y = -x + 5
y = -(-5) + 5
y = 5 + 5 = 10

y = -x + 5
y = -(3/2) + 5
y = -(3/2) + 10/2
y = 7/2

A random sample of size 100 was taken from a population. A 94% confidence interval to estimate the mean of the population was co
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The z value was determined using a normal distribution table. From the normal distribution table, the corresponding z value for a 94% confidence interval is 1.88

The correct option is D

2) if 70% of all internet users experience e-mail fraud. It means that probability of success, p

p = 70/100 = 0.7

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

n = number of selected users = 50

Mean, u = np = 50×0.7 = 35

Standard deviation, u = √npq = √50×0.7×0.3 = 3.24

x = number of internet users

The formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

We want to determine the probability that no more than 25 were victims of e-mail fraud. It is expressed as

P(x lesser than or equal to 25)

The z value will be

z = (25- 35)/3.24 = - 10/3.24 = -3.09

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.001

P(x lesser than or equal to 25) = 0.001
