Ellie and Morgan go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Ellie spends a total of $36.50 on 7 bags o

f popcorn and 2 drinks. Morgan spends a total of $155.50 on 9 bags of popcorn and 14 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn, to the nearest cent.

Ellie:
Total spending = $36.50
Number of popcorn bags bought = 7
Number of drinks bought = 2

Morgan:
Total spending = $155.50
Number of popcorn bags bought = 9
Number of drinks bought = 14

Part 1:
If
P = Price of one popcorn bag
D = Price of one drink
Then,
For Ellie: 7P + 2D = 36.50
For Morgan: 9P + 14 D = 155.50

Set of equations:
7P + 2D = 36.5 --------(1)
9P + 14D = 155.5 ---- (2)

Part 2:
Solving equations (1) and (2)
Multiply (1) by 7 and subtract (2) from resulting equation;
49P + 14D = 255.5
9P + 14D = 155.5
-------------------------
40P = 100
P = 100/40 = 2.5

From eqn (1),
7*2.5 + 2D = 36.5
17.5 +2D = 36.5
2D = 19
D = 19/2 = 9.5

Therefore,
Bag of popcorn costs $2.50

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in t
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Rachel

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to measure how far (towards the left) are the students from the mean in<em> “standard deviations units”</em>.  

That is to say, if t is the time the student ran the mile and s is the standard deviation of the class, we must find an x such that

mean - x*s = t

For Rachel we have

11 - x*3 = 8, so x = 1.  

Rachel is <em>1 standard deviation far (to the left) from the mean</em> of her class

For Kenji we have

9 - x*2 = 8.5, so x = 0.25

Kenji is <em>0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean</em> of his class

For Nedda we have

7 - x*4 = 8, so x = 0.25

Nedda is also 0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean of his class.

As Rachel is the farthest from the mean of her class in term of standard deviations, Rachel is the fastest runner with respect to her class.

Find the first four positive values of arccos(0.7). I know how to get the first, but as for the rest, I am lost.
Mandarinka [93]
Now cos⁻¹(0.7) is about 45.6°, that's on the first quadrant.

keep in mind that the inverse cosine function has a range of [0, 180°], so any angles it will spit out, will be on either the I quadrant where cosine is positive or the II quadrant, where cosine is negative.

however, 45.6° has a twin, she's at the IV quadrant, where cosine is also positive, and that'd be 360° - 45.6°, or 314.4°.

now, those are the first two, but we have been only working on the [0, 360°] range.... but we can simply go around the circle many times over up to 720° or 72000000000° if we so wish, so let's go just one more time around the circle to find the other fellows.

360° + 45.6° is a full circle and 45.6° more, that will give us the other angle, also in the first quadrant, but after a full cycle, at 405.6°.

then to find her twin on the IV quadrant, we simply keep on going, and that'd be at 360° + 360° - 45.6°, 674.4°.

and you can keep on going around the circle, but only four are needed this time only.
