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

$5 + 3\\8$

Tonya and Leo each bought a cell phone at the same time. The trade-in values, in dollars, of the cell phones are modeled by the

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The answer is Tonya's phone had the greater initial trade-in value.

Leo's phone decreases at an average rate slower than the trade in value of Tonya's phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tonya

$f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x$

Leo

$x \to g(x)$

$0 \to 480$

$2 \to 360$

$4 \to 470$

Solving (a): The phone with greater initial value

The initial value is when x = 0. So, we have:

$f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x$

$f(0) = 490 * 0.88^0$

$f(0) = 490 * 1$

$f(0) = 490$

From Leo's table

$g(0) = 480$

By comparison;

$f(0) > g(0)$

i.e.

$490 > 480$

<em>So: Tonya's had the greater initial trade-in value</em>

Solving (b): The phone with lesser rate

An exponential function is:

$y = ab^x$

Where:

$b \to rate$

For Tonya

$b = 0.88$

For Leo, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,480)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,360)$

So, the equation becomes:

$y = ab^x$

$480 = ab^0$ and $360 = ab^2$

Solving $480 = ab^0$ , we have:

$480 = a * 1$

$480 = a$

$a= 480$

$360 = ab^2$ becomes

$360 = 480 * b^2$

Divide both sides by 480

$0.75 = b^2$

Take square roots

$0.87 = b$

$b=0.87$ -- Leo's rate

By comparison; Leo's rate is slower i.e. 0.87 < 0.88

Ben rolled a number cube numbered one through six. It landed on an odd number 30 times. What is the probability that it lands on

elena55 [62]

Answer:

1 /2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space of number cube : (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Odd numbers on cube : (1, 3, 5) = 3 odd numbers

Since each roll of number cube is independent, the number of times it has landed between fire does not matter :

Therefore, probability of landing on a odd number is :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P = 3 / 6

P = 1/2

The functions f and g are defined as follows.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x

g(x) = -2x + 4

Now

f(-5) = 2 *(-5)^2 - 3*(-5)

= 2 * 25 + 15

= 50 + 15

= 65

Also

g(5) = - 2 * 5 +4

= -10 +4

= - 6

Hope it will help you.
