The number of books sold is 473.

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

  • The original cost of each book = $0.64
  • The selling price of each book = $0.75

The difference between the original price and selling price of the book gives the profit per book.

The profit of one book = Selling price - Original price

Let,

  • The total number of books be 'x'.
  • The number of books sold be 'y'.
  • The unsold books is 100.
  • The total profit is -12 because it was gone to a loss of $12.

Therefore, the equation is formed as

total Profit = 0.75y - 0.64x

⇒ 0.75y - 0.64x = -12 --------(1)

Total books = sold books + unsold books

x = y + 100

⇒ x-y = 100  -------(2)

Substitute x= 100+y in the eq(1),

0.75y - 0.64(100+y) = -12

0.75y - 64 -0.64y = -12

0.11y = -12 +64

y = 52 / 0.11

y = 472.7

y ≅ 473

The number of book sold is 473 books.

The total number of books is (100+473) = 573 books.

Find x and y. <br><br> pls pls help
Anna [14]

Answer:

x = 65 , y = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 16 and 2y + 4 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is

y - 16 + 2y + 4 = 180

3y - 12 = 180 ( add 12 to both sides )

3y = 192 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 64

then

2y + 4 = 2(64) + 4 = 128 + 4 = 132

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

2y + 4 is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

x + 67 = 132 ( subtract 67 from both sides )

x = 65

Without overlapping, how many college basketball courts 94ft x 50ft would fit into a football field 360ft x 160ft?
Volgvan
Area of basketball court: 94 x 50 = 4700 square feet

area of football field: 360 x 160 = 57600 square feet

57600 / 4700 = 12.26

so 12 basketball courts

Need help again. Please explain your answer.
Elis [28]

4y + 3 ≤ y + 6

4y + 3 - 3 ≤ y + 6 - 3

4y ≤ y + 3

4y - y ≤ y - y + 3

3y ≤ 3

3y/3 ≤ 3/3

y ≤ 1

So any value of y less than or equal to 1 (so 1 is included in the solution set) satisfies the inequality. C is the correct answer.
