Answer:

785

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of the boxes of chocolate chip cookies sold by her = x

Let the number of boxes of plain cookies sold by her = y

So, x + y = 1585 --------------------1

Price of 1 unit of chocolate chip box = $1.25

Price of 1 unit of plain cookie box = $0.75

Thus,

1.25x + 0.75y = 1588.75 -----------------2

Solving 1 and 2 as:

y = 1585 - x

Putting in 2 , we get that:

1.25x + 0.75(1585 - x) = 1588.75

x = 800

y = 785

Plain boxes = 785

Answer:

Number of plain cookie boxes sold = 785 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of a chocolate chip cookie box = $1.25

Cost of a plain cookie box = $0.75

Total number of boxes sold = 1585

Total cost of the sold boxes = $1588.75

Let, number of plain cookie boxes sold = x

Number of chocolate chip cookie boxes sold = 1585 - x

So,

Total cost = total cost of the sold plain cookie boxes + total cost of the sold chocolate chip cookie boxes

$1588.75 = x ($0.75) + (1585 - x) ($1.25)

1588.75 = 0.75 x + 1981.25 - 1.25 x

0.5 x = 392.5

Therefore,

<u>Number of plain cookie boxes sold: x = 392.5 ÷ 0.5 = 785 boxes</u>

Gre4nikov [31]

Given:

Guests at an amusement park must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster.

To find:

The graph that represents the set of heights that satisfy this requirement.

Solution:

Let x be the height required for the ride.

Guests must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster. It means required height is greater than or equal to 54.

x\geq 54

So, 54 and all values above 54 are in the solution set.

Since, 54 is included in the solution set, therefore there is a closed circle at 54. All values above 54 are in the solution set, so everything to the right of the circle is shaded.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
