st $10. On your shift, you sold 250 containers of popcorn and brought in $1726. You sold twice as many large containers as small ones. a. How many of each popcorn size did you sell? B. How much money did you bring in from selling small size containers?

Let, number of small, medium and large popcorn sold are s, m and l respectively.

So, s + m + l = 250    ....1)

Also, l = 2s     ....2)

Total sum = $1726 = 2s + 5m + 10l     .....3)

Putting value of l from 2) to 1) is :

s + m + 2s = 250

m + 3s = 250    

m = 250 - 3s      ....4)

Putting value of m and l in terms of s in equation 3)

We get :

2s + 5( 250 - 3s ) + 20s = 1726

7s = 1726 - 1250

s = 68

l = 136

m = 250 -3(68) = 46

Now,

P_s=68\times 2 = \$136\\\\P_m = 46\times 5 = \$230\\\\P_l = 136\times 10 = \$1360

Hence, this is the required solution.

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Sheridan's Work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

where

a and b are the legs

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

In this problem

Let

a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm

substitute

13^{2}=7^{2}+b^{2}

Solve for b

169=49+b^{2}

b^{2}=169-49

b^{2}=120

b=\sqrt{120}\ cm

b=10.95\ cm

we have that

<em>Jayden's Work</em>

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

a=7\ cm\\b=13\ cm

substitute and solve for c

7^{2}+13^{2}=c^{2}

49+169=c^{2}

218=c^{2}

c=\sqrt{218}\ cm

c=14.76\ cm

Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle

<em>Sheridan's Work</em>

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm

substitute

7^{2}+b^{2}=13^{2}

Solve for b

49+b^{2}=169

b^{2}=169-49

b^{2}=120

b=\sqrt{120}\ cm

b=10.95\ cm

therefore

Sheridan's Work is correct
