Answer:

Krutika gets 27 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> number of sweets that Caroline gets

y ---> number of sweets that Krutika gets

z ---> number of sweets that Natasha gets

we know that

$x:y:z=4:3:3$

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{3}$

$x=\frac{4}{3}y$ ----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{4}{3}$

$x=\frac{4}{3}z$ ----> equation B

$y=z$ ---> equation C

Caroline gets 9 more sweets than Natasha

so

$x=z+9$ ---> equation D

substitute equation D in equation B

$z+9=\frac{4}{3}z$

solve for z

$\frac{4}{3}z-z=9$

$\frac{1}{3}z=9\\z=27\ sweets$

therefore

Krutika gets 27 sweets

Find the equation of a line given the point and slope below. Arrange your answer in the form y = mx + b, where b is the constant

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and the slope, we can plug in these values into the equation to find the value of b:

y = mx + b

3 = 2(1) + b

3 = 2 + b

1 = b

Plug b into the equation:

y = 2x + 1

Maru [420]

Cost of two tickets that Sheila paid to her friend = $ 90

Actual price of 1 ticket = $ 52.50

So, actual price of 2 tickets = $52.50\times2=105$

Hence, markdown or discount Sheila's friend gave her is =

$105-90=15$

The answer is $15.

Pigeon Hole Principle :

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A proof can be as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $S=\{a_{1},a_{2},...,a_{n},a_{n+1}\}$ be a set of $n+1$ integers. By the division algorithm the possible remainders when we divide by $n$ are $0,1,2,....,n-1$ . Then, each integer $a_{i}\in S$ can be written as:

$a_{i}=np_{i}+r_{i},\,\,0\leq r_{i}$

Observe that the set of remainders $\{r_{1},r_{2},...,r_{n+1}\}$ has $n+1$ elements and each element has $n$ possible values. By the Pigenhole principle at least two remainders have the same value. Suppose that this two elements are $a_{i}, a_{j}$ . Then,

$\begin{array}{c}a_{i}=np_{i}+r\\a_{j}=np_{j}+r\end{array}$

Where $r_{i}=r_{j}=r$ . Then, $a_{i}-a_{j}=np_{i}-np_{i}=n(p_{i}-p_{j})$ . Then we have that $n$ divides $a_{i}-a_{j}$ .

Instructions: Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

vovangra [49]

Answer: The answer is (A) $\dfrac{4}{3}.$ and (C) $4x-3y=0.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given a graph with a point A having co-ordinates (3, 4) and origin O(0, 0). We are to find the slope and equation of line OA.

Since O(0, 0) and A(3, 4) are two points on the line OA, so its slope will be

$m=\dfrac{4-0}{3-0}=\dfrac{4}{3}.$

And the equation of the line will be

$y-0=\dfrac{4}{3}(x-0)\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{4}{3}x\\\\\\\Rightarrow 3y=4x\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3y=0.$

Thus, the correct options are (A) and (C).

A student earns $10 per hour for tutoring and $7 per hour as a teacher's aide. To have enough free time for studies, he can work

gavmur [86]

Since he gets paid more for tutoring, he should work as many hrs tutoring as possible. He can only work at most 20 hrs. He has to work at least 3 hrs tutoring but no more then 8 hrs.....to maximize profit, he needs to work 8 hrs tutoring...leaving 12 hrs as a teachers aide. He should work 20 hrs to maximize his earnings.

maximum profit is : 8(10) + 12(7) = 80 + 84 = 164
