So notice the total number of people is 40, we need to find the number that likes ice cream 

so simply convert the 35% into a decimal (0.35) then multiply it by 40 

40 x .35 = 14 people

Ken wants to buy some coffee mugs, m , that cost $5 each and some ground coffee, C, that costs $8 a pound. He has $25.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The inequality representation of the scenario is :

  • 5m + 8c ≤ 25
  • m = 1 and c = 1

  • Number of mugs = m
  • Cost per mug = $5
  • Number of ground coffee = c
  • Cost per ground coffee = $8
  • Total amount to spend = $25

  • (Number of mug × cost per mug) + (Number of ground coffee × cost of ground coffee) ≤total amount to spend

  • Representing as an inequality : 5m + 8c ≤ 25

Combination of m and c that makes the inequality true :

  • Using trial by error :
  • m = 1 and c = 1
  • 5(1) + 8(1) ≤ 25 ; 13 ≤ 25

Hence, m = 1 and c =1 are valid values for the expression.

Find the difference of(ab+8a+1)-(-6ab+4)
vagabundo [1.1K]
Hey there!

When finding the difference of expressions like these, there's a few things you should keep in mind. 

1. When finding the difference of two polynomials, multiply the polynomial that implied to be "negative" by –1 to expand the problem and make it easier to solve. 

2. You combine terms based on their unknown terms, like x, y, x², ab, etc. You cannot combine the terms x and x², but you can combine the terms 6b and 8b by adding them. 

3. You can rearrange your terms however you see fit. If a polynomial is implied as "positive", you can multiply that entire polynomial by +1 to get rid of the parentheses. 

With all that in mind, you can go ahead and solve for your difference, like so:

(ab+8a+1)-(-6ab+4)

(ab+8a+1) (-1(-6ab+4))

(ab+8a+1) + (6ab-4)

ab+6ab+8a+1-4

7ab+8a-3

7ab+8a-3 will be your difference. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

a student bought a juice pouch for $2.50 and 3 bags of chips. the total cost was $5.05 write and solve an equation to determine
Wittaler [7]

First, write it as an equation

2.50+3x=5.05

Next, subtract 2.50 from both sides

2.50-2.50+3x=5.05-2.50

3x=2.55

Divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=2.55/3

x=0.85

The cost of a bag of chips is 0.85

hope i helped :D

Math Question:<br> Pls help I will do anything
kow [346]

Answer:

The probability of spinning red is \frac{1}{3}, the probability of spinning a 1 is \frac{1}{6}, the probability of spinning an odd number is \frac{1}{2}, and the probability of spinning a 9 is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of 6 possible outcomes, you can use this in the following questions. There are 2 red tiles, so the probability of spinning red is \frac{2}{6} or \frac{1}{3}. Since there are only one 1 tile, the probability of spinning a 1 is \frac{1}{6}. Since there are three odd numbers, the probability of spinning an odd number is \frac{1}{2}. Since there are no 9 in the spinner, the probability of spinning a 9 is 0 or never.
