Let the number of sports drinks April bought be represented by = s

Let the pizza slices April bought be represented by = p

As she spent a total of $21.25 so equation becomes:

$s+p=21.25$

$p+3+p=21.25$

$2p=18.25$

$p=9.125$

As she bought 3 more sports drinks than pizza slices so, s = p+3

Complete Question

April bought some sports drinks and slices of pizza for her friends. She bought 3 more sports drinks than slices of pizza. If her total order was 21.25, how many sports drinks did she purchase? one slice of pizza cost 2.25 and one sport drink cost 1.25

Solution -

Let the total number of slices of pizza's purchased be $X$

Then the total number of sports drinks purchased would be $X + 3$

Given -

Price of one slice of pizza $= 2.25$ dollars

Price of one sports drinks $= 1.25$ dollars

The total cost of $X$ slices of pizza and $X + 3$ sports drinks would be

$X * 2.25 + (X+3) * 1.25 = 21.25$

$2.25 X + 1.25 X + 3.75 = 21.25 \\3.5 X = 21.25 -3.75\\3.5 X = 17.5\\X = \frac{17.5}{3.5} \\X = 5$

Thus, the number of slices of pizza purchased is equal to $5$

Hence, number of Sports drinks purchased is equal to

$5 + 3\\8$

a plane flies 5.0km due north from a point O and then 6.0km on a bearing of 060° the pilot then changes course on a bearing of 1

Virty [35]

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

A plane that travels a distance $r$ , in kilometers, with a bearing of $\theta$ sexagesimal degrees can be represented in standard position by means of the following expression:

$\vec r = r\cdot (\sin\theta, \cos \theta)$ (1)

We can obtain the resulting vector ( $\vec R$ ) by the principle of superposition:

$\vec R = \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} [r_{i}\cdot (\sin \theta_{i}, \cos \theta_{i})]$ (2)

If we know that $r_{1} = 5\,km$ , $\theta_{1} = 0^{\circ}$ , $r_{2} = 6\,km$ , $\theta_{2} = 60^{\circ}$ , $r_{3} = 4\,km$ and $\theta_{3} = 120^{\circ}$ , then the resulting vector is:

$\vec R = 5\cdot (\sin 0^{\circ}, \cos 0^{\circ}) + 6\cdot (\sin 60^{\circ}, \cos 60^{\circ}) + 4\cdot (\sin 120^{\circ}, \cos 120^{\circ})$

$\vec R = (5\sqrt{3}, 6) \,[km]$

The magnitude of the resultant is found by Pythagorean theorem:

$\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{R_{x}^{2}+R_{y}^{2}}$

And the bearing is determined by the following <em>inverse</em> trigonometric relationship:

$\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{R_{y}}{R_{x}}\right)$ (3)

If we know that $R_{x} = 5\sqrt{3}\,km$ and $R_{y} = 6\,km$ , then the magnitude and the bearing of the resultant is:

$\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{(5\sqrt{3})^{2}+6^{2}}$

$\|\vec R\| \approx 10.536\,km$

$\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{6}{5\sqrt{3}} \right)$

$\theta_{R} \approx 34.715^{\circ}$

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

It should be 15. 88 minus 28 is 60. Then 60 divided by 4 is 15.

Of the people who fished at Clearwater Park today,

Vladimir79 [104]

The probability is 2/25 or an 8% chance. By taking the probability of the fishers from Clearwater (56/70) and multiplying that by the probability of the non fishers from Mountain view (8/80) we can find the total probability of the situation.
