Step-by-step explanation:

this is a linear programming problem.

the objective is to maximize profit

let the chocolate be x

and cookies be y

Maximize

2.5x+2y=P

constraint milk

3x+y=9------------------1

constraint flour

2x+4y=16----------------2

solving 1 and 2

3x+y=9

2x+4y=16

multiply 1 by 2 and 2  3 to eliminate x we have

  6x+2y=18

 6x+12y=48

-0-10x=-30

10y=30

y=30/10

y=3

put y= 3 in eqn 1 we have

3x+3=9

3x=9-3

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2

two trays of chocolate

three trays of cookies

2.5x+2y=P

2.5(2)+2(3)=P

5+6=P

P=$11

What is the remainder of 42, 325 divided by 47 ?
aniked [119]

Answer:

remainder 25

Step-by-step explanation:

if 42,325 is divided by 47the result is 25,

firstly divide 42,325 by 47, you will see that it can only divide 42,325 which is 900 without any remainder,then the 900 is the whole number and 25 is remaining from the subtraction of 42,325-42,300=25 ,and 25 has to be divided by 47 but it is not up to 47,then we have it as a remainder,

so 25 is the remainder

What is the value of x?
monitta

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles theorem

In similar triangles, ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Let the point where a line cuts BC = D

Length (AB/BD) = length(AC/CD)

15/3x = 9/(2x-1)

Cross multiply

15(2x-1) = 9(3x)

Expand the brackets

30x -15 = 27x

Collecting like terms

30x-27x = 15

3x = 15

Divide through by 3

x= 15/3

x= 5

PLEASE someone help me!!! I will brainliest!!!
Katarina [22]

Answer:

  BC = 20.225

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the point on CD where the triangle vertex is point X.

Then we have ...

  BC·tan(20°) = CX

  DE·tan(25°) = DX

  CX +DX = AB

  AB·tan(20°) = AE

  AE +DE = BC

Now we can write BC in terms of itself:

  BC = AE +DE = AB·tan(20°) +DE

  BC = (CX +DX)·tan(20°) +DE = (BC·tan(20°) +DE·tan(25°))·tan(20°) +DE

  BC(1 -tan(20°)²) = DE(1 +tan(25°)·tan(20°))

  BC = DE(1 +tan(25°)·tan(20°))/(1 -tan(20°)²) . . . . where DE = 15 cm

  BC ≈ 20.225 cm
