We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream
Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50
3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180
Answer:
0.578
Step-by-step explanation:
If you pick three burritos at random, find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Given that there are 14 orders at the ratio by of:
6 with hot peppers
8 without hot peppers
At most two have hot peppers.
Binomial Problem with n = 3 ; p(hot) = 6/8
P(0<= x <=2) = 1 - P(x = 3)
= 1 - (6/8)^3
= 1 - ( 3/4 )^3
= 1 - ( 27/64 )^3
= 1- (37/64)
= 1 - 0.421875
= 0.578125
= 0.578
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
1/12 since there is only 2 the probability is 1/12
