Gavin and Caleb go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Gavin spends a total of $22.25 on 2 bags of

popcorn and 3 drinks. Caleb spends a total of $39.00 on 12 bags of popcorn and 4 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

Drinks = 6.75

Popcorn= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the popcorn = P

Let the drink = D

2*P + 3*D = 22.25         multiply this equation by 6

12*P + 4D = 39.00

<u>12P + 18D = 133.5</u>          Subtract these two equations

- 14D = - 94.50               Divide by -14

-14D/-14 = -94.5/-14        Do the division

D = 6.75

=========================

12P  +  4D = 39            Substitute for D

12P + 4*6.75 = 39        Combine

12P + 27 = 39               Subtract 27 from both sides

12P + 27-27=39-27      Collect like terms

12P = 12                        Divide by 12

12P/12 = 12/12

P = 1                               Answer

Sally buys a hang bag. There was a discaount of 35percent . If Sally paid $56.80 what was the original price?
Ksju [112]
Discount = 35%
Percentage after discount = 100% - 35% = 65%

65% = $56.80
1% = $0.8738
100% = $87.38

Answer: The original price is $87.38

The height of a cable that runs between two supports on a suspension bridge can be modeled by a quadratic function () where is t
Murrr4er [49]

What is the vertex

Its vertex is at (36, -10)

Let us assume that the left edge of the cable is at the origin.

Since the cable is at its lowest height 10 feet halfway between the two supports, the y-coordinate of its lowest point is -10 ft and the x coordinate is 72 ft/2 = 36 ft.

So, its vertex is at (36, -10)

Axis of symmetry

The y-axis.

Since the cable is symmetric about its lowest point, the axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

Domain

The domain is (0, 72).

Since the minimum value of its x-coordinate is at the origin which is x = 0 and the maximum value is at the other support which is at x = 72 ft,

the domain is (0, 72).

Range

The range is (0, -10)

Since the minimum value of the y-coordinate is -10ft and the maximum value is at the origin y = 0,

the range is (0, -10)

x and y-intercepts

The x-intercept is (0, 72) and the y-intercept is (0, 0)

Since the cable is attached at the origin and at 72 feet away  from the origin at the other support, the x-intercept is 0 and 72 ft and the y-intercepts are 0 and 0.

So, the x-intercept is (0, 72) and the y-intercept is (0, 0)
