Answer:

Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms

Small box weighs 15.25 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small.

Let x = weight of large box.

Let y = weight of small box.

A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms. This means

3x + 5y = 131 - - - - - - - - - - -1

A delivery of 6 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 140 kilograms.

This means 6x + 2y = 140 - - - - - - - 2

Solving equation 1 and equation 2 by elimination method,

Multiply equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3

18x + 30y = 786

18x +6y = 420

24y = 366

y = 366/24 = 15.25

Put y = 15.25 in equation 1

3x + 5× 15.25 = 131

3x + 76.25 = 131

3x = 131 - 76.25

3x = 54.75

x = 54.75/3 = 18.25

If the cost of producing a product that sells for $40 is 72,000 plus $32.00 per piece, then how many products must be sold to br
lisabon 2012 [21]

we are given:

Selling price=$40.00

Fixed cost=$72000.00

Cost per piece=$32.00

Let x products be sold to break-even then

\\ \ 40x=7200+32x\\ \\ \ \Rightarrow 40x-32x=7200\\ \\ \ 8x=7200\Rightarrow x=\frac{7200}{8}=900\\

If f(1)=6 and f(n) = F(n - 1) + 2 then find the value of f(4).
Usimov [2.4K]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{f(4) = 12}

We know that:

f(1) = 6

F(n) = F(n - 1) + 2 (Meaning, the next "n" is 2 added to the previous)

We can count up to f(4) using this logic:

f(2) = F(2 - 1) + 2 = F(1) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

f(3) = F(2) + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

f(4) = F(3) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

If each side of the square is 7 7 units long, how long is the diagonal to the nearest tenth
SOVA2 [1]

I’m not quite sure if you are saying each side is 7 or 77 so I did both.

If the side length is 7, then 9.9 is the answer.

If the side length is 77, then 108.9 is the answer.
