One bag of popcorn would cost $6.50

To solve this, we can set up equations:
28p+40c=$282
17p+20c=$160.50

To solve this system, we would need to make either the candy bars the same or the bags of popcorn the same. Since we are solving for bags of popcorn, we will make the candy bars the same:
20(28p+40c=$282)
40(17p+20c=$160.50)

Which would give you:
560p+800c=$5,640
680p+800c=$6,420

Subtract them:
 (680p+800c=$6,420)
-(560p+800c=$5,640)
_________________
120p=$780

Now divide by 120 to get the price of one bag of popcorn:
120p=$780
_________
       120

p=$6.50

attashe74 [19]
1/2 divide by 5= 1/10
1/4 divide by 5=  1/20                              so    1/10 is also 2/20+1/20=3/20

so the answer is 3/20 of a pizza

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 669

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, In a Gallup poll of randomly selected​ adults, 66% said that they worry about identity theft.

i.e. The proportion of adults said that they worry about identity theft. (p) = 0.66

Sample size : n= 1013

Then , Mean for the sampling distribution of sample proportion  = <em>np</em>

= (1013) × (0.66)

= 668.58 ≈ 669  [Round to the nearest whole number]

Hence, the mean of those who do not worry about identify theft is closest to​ 669 .

What is the equation for the line with a slope of - 2/3 that passes through (0, -2)
viktelen [127]

Answer:

y= -2/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a point and a slope, we can use the point slope formula

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1})

m is the slope. In this case, m is -2/3

y1 is the y coordinate of the point. In this case, it is -2

x1 is the x coordinate. In this case it is 0.

We can substitute these values into the formula

y- -2= -2/3(x-0)

Distribute -2/3

y+2 = -2/3*x + -2/3*0

y+2= -2/3x+0

Subtract 2 from both sides. We want to get y by itself. This is because we want our line to be in y=mx+b form.

y+2-2= -2/3x+0-2

y= -2/3x -2
