Answer:

The cost of a chicken shawarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes=$4.99

Equations needed

3x+2y =42.95

5x + 4y=74.91

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap

y = the cost of an order of spiced potatoes

Ms. Ironperson

3x+2y =42.95

Mr. Thoro

5x + 4y=74.91

3x+2y =42.95 (1)

5x + 4y=74.91 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2

6x + 4y=85.9 (3)

5x + 4y=74.91. (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

6x - 5x= 85.9 - 74.91

x=$10.99

Substitute the value of x into (1)

3x+2y =42.95 (1)

3(10.99) + 2y =42.95

32.97 + 2y = 42.95

2y = 42.95 - 32.97

2y=9.98

Divide both sides by 2

y=9.98/2

=4.99

y=$4.99

Therefore,

The cost of a chicken shawarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes=$4.99

In order to estimate the difference between the average hourly wages of employees of two branches of a department store, two ind
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two populations of interest and want to compare them. If you define the study variables as:

X₁: average hourly wages of an employee of the Downtown store.

n₁= 25

X[bar]₁= $9

S₁= $2

X₂: average hourly wages of an employee of the North Mall store.

n₂= 20

X[bar]₂= $8

S₂= $1

Both samples taken are independent, assuming that both populations are normal and that their population variances are equal I'll use the Student's-t statistic with a pooled sample variance to calculate the Confidence interval:

95% CI for μ₁ - μ₂

(X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂) ± t_{n_1+n_2-2; 1-\alpha /2} * (Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } )

Sa^2= \frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}

Sa^2= \frac{24*4+19*1}{25+20-2}= 2.67

Sa= 1.64

t_{n_1-n_2-2;1-\alpha /2} = t_{43; 0.975} = 2.017

(9-8)±2.017*(1.64*\sqrt{\frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{20} } )

I hope it helps!

If the total sticker price on a new car is $42,055 and you have to pay 7% sales tax, how much will you have to pay for the vehic
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

$44,998.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of the car = $42,055

Tax = 7%

Total cost = Price of the car + amount of tax

= 42,055 + 7% of 42,055

= 42,055 + 7/100 * 42,055

= 42,055 + 0.07 * 42,055

= 42,055 + 2,943.85

= 44,998.85

Total cost = $44,998.85
