You and your sister are selling cookies to help raise money for your field trip. You start out with $24 and sells each bag of co

okies, c, for $3. Your sister doesn’t start out with any money but sells her bags of cookies for $5 each. How many bags of cookies must they sell in order for them to raise the same amount of money?

Answer:

12 bags of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you already start out with $24, you will have a y-intercept of 24. Your slope will be 3, since each bag sells for $3.

Your equation will be y = 3c + 24.

Your sister does not start out with money, so she will have a y-intercept of 0. Her slope will be 5, as each bag sells for $5.

Her equation will be y = 5c.

Since y = y, you can set the two equations equal to each other.

3c + 24 = 5c

5c = 3c + 24

Subtract 3c from both sides

2c = 24

Divide both sides by 2

c = 12

So, they must sell 12 bags of cookies to raise the same amount of money, $60. Yum!

Hope this helps!

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. [infinity] n = 1 1 n√9 the series is a ---select--- p-series with p =
inna [77]

The series is a convergent p-series with p = 3

<h3>How to know it is a divergent or a convergent series</h3>

We would know that a series is a convergent p series when we have ∑ 1 np. Then you have to be able to tell if the series is a divergent p series or it is a convergent p series.

The way that you are able to tell this is if the terms of the series do not approach towards 0. Now when the value of p is greater than 1 then you would be able to tell that the series is a convergent series.

The value of \sqrt{9}= 3

The formular for this is

∑\frac{1}{n^p} \\

where n = 1

we know it is convergent because p is greater than 1. 3>1

Oliver works at a bookstore.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books wa
max2010maxim [7]
In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

When n basketball uniforms are purchased, the cost, C, of each uniform is given by the equation.
balandron [24]

Answer:

D. Subtraction property of equality; n = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows the cost of n basketballs uniforms,

C = 40n + 260

According to the question,

Total cost = $ 860,

⇒ 40n + 260 = 860

Using subtraction property of equality, subtract 260 on both sides,

⇒ 40n = 860 - 260

⇒ 40n = 600

Using division property of equality, divide both sides by 40.

⇒ n = \frac{600}{40} = 15.

Hence, 15 uniforms were purchased.

i.e. Option D is correct.

A number exceeds its four-sevenths by 18. Find the number.
Andru [333]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

4/7 of x

(4/7) × x

4x/7

As stated in the question:

x=4x/7+18

=x-4x/7=18

=(7x-4x)/7=18

=3x/7=18

3x= 18×17

3x= 126

x=126/3

x=42
