The number of pencils sold on the first day  is 5 pencils.

The number of notebooks sold on the first day  is 10 notebooks.

The number of pencils sold on the second day 10 pencils.

The number of notebooks sold on the second day   35 notebooks.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given data,

  • The total number of notebooks in the store = 45 notebooks.
  • The total number of Pencils in the store = 15 pencils.
  • The number of days that all items were sold = 2 days.

Now, you have to calculate the no.of notebooks and no. of pencils sold each day.

<u>In the first day :</u>

The number of sale of notebooks and pencils are given by,

Twice as many notebooks were sold as pencils.

Let us take, the number of pencils sold on the first day  = x

And,  the number of notebooks sold on the first day  = 2x (Twice as pencils).

<u>In the second day :</u>

The number of sale of notebooks and pencils are given by,

For every 7 notebooks​ sold, 2 pencils were sold.

The number of pencils sold on the second day =   2y

The number of notebooks sold on the second day   = 7y

<u> The equation is framed for number of notebooks sold on each day :</u>

The number of notebooks sold ⇒ 2x + 7y = 45   -------(1)

<u> The equation  is framed for number of pencils sold on each day :</u>

The number of pencils sold: x + 2y = 15  ----------(2)

Solving the equations by multiplying eq(2) by 2 and subtract it from eq(1),

  2x + 7y = 45

-<u> (2x + 4y) = 30</u>

   <u>        3y = 15  </u>

⇒ y = 15/3

⇒ y = 5

The value of y is 5.

Substitute y=5 in eq (2),

⇒ x + 2(5) = 15

⇒ x + 10 = 15

⇒ x = 15 - 10

⇒ x = 5

The value of x is 5.

First day sale,

The number of pencils sold on the first day  = x ⇒ 5 pencils

The number of notebooks sold on the first day  = 2x ⇒ 10 notebooks

Second day sale,

The number of pencils sold on the second day =   2y ⇒ 10 pencils

The number of notebooks sold on the second day   = 7y ⇒ 35 notebooks.

Please help What is the domain of the following function?
enot [183]

Answer:

Let's use these two sets given to explain what is the domain.

Each value from the left set is x, and from the right is f(x).

If we plug any x from the left set in the function, we'll get f(x)  that corresponds to it and that's exactly what the arrows are showing.

Domain of the function is, basically, a set of all values x can have.

In this case, it's easy to see, those are all members of the left set (-6, 1, 5, 8), but sometimes this set can have lots and lots of members, even infinity.

Anit [1.1K]

The appropriate expression to identify the amount of formalin is: x = 3200 ÷ 100 × 44%

<h3>How to identify the amount of formalin?</h3>

To calculate the amount of formalin in this substance we must perform the following mathematical operation:

  • 3200 ÷ 100 = 32
  • 32 × 44% = 1,408

According to the above, the mathematical expression would be:

  • X = 3200 ÷ 100 × 44%

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

(A) Your friend will save $282.

(B) Your friend will get 23.5% off the original price of the mattress.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find out the price of the mattress after the 15% discount. Our first step is to find what 15% of 1,200 is. We can do this by multiplying the two numbers.

1,200 x 15% -----> 1,200 x 0.15= 180.

15% of $1,200 is $180.

Next subtract $180 from $1,200, which equals $1,020. We can now apply the 10% off internet coupon.

1,020 x 10% ------> 1,020 x 0.10= 102.

10% of $1,020 is $102.

Next we subtract $102 from $1,020 and we get $918, the final price of the discounted mattress.

We subtract to see how much money the friend saved.

$1,200 - $918= $282.

We can get the percentage by dividing $282 by $1,200.

282 / 1200= 0.235 decimal form ----> 23.5%

From definition of natural numbers, they are integer numbers starting from 1;

In other words: 1,2,3,4,5, and so on.

To represent this as a set of N, we have
