A lady buys 20 trinkets at a yard sale.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Lady purchased 12 trinkets costing $0.30 each and 8 trinkets costing $0.65 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

A lady buys total number of trinkets = 20

Cost of each trinket is either $0.30 or $0.65.

Let the number of trinkets is x she purchased for $0.30 and y for $0.65

Then x + y = 20 --------(1)

Since she spends total amount = $8.80

Then the equation will be

0.30x + 0.65y = 8.80 ---------(2)

We replace x = (20 - y) from equation (1) to equation (2)

0.30(20 - y) + 0.65y = 8.80

6 - 0.30y + 0.65y = 8.80

0.35y + 6 = 8.80

0.35y = 8.80 - 6

0.35y = 2.80

y = $\frac{2.80}{0.35}$

y = 8

Now we put y = 8 in equation (1)

x + 8 = 20

x = 20 - 8

x = 12

Therefore, lady purchased 12 trinkets costing $0.30 each and 8 trinkets costing $0.65 each.

A grocer sells milk chocolate at $2.50 per pound, dark chocolate at $4.30 per pound, and dark chocolate with almonds at $5.50 pe

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

10 pounds of milk chocolate, 15 pounds of dark chocolate, and 10 + 15 = 25 pounds of almond chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pounds of milk chocolate that he needs to use in the mixture. And y is the number of pounds of of dark chocolate. Since the mixture must use almonds chocolate as much as the other 2 combined in term of weight, and the total weight is 50 pounds. That means

milk_choco_weight + dark_choco_weight + almond_choco_weight = 50

x + y + (x + y) = 50

2(x+y) = 50

x+y = 25 or x = 25 - y

Since we know the price of the mixture, we can use the following equation

2.5milk_choco_weight + 4.3dark_choco_weight + 5.5almond_choco_weight = 4.54total_weight

2.5x + 4.3y + 5.5(x+y) = 50*4.54

2.5x + 4.3y + 5.5*25 = 227

2.5x + 4.3y = 227 - 137.5 = 89.5

We can substitute x = 25 - y

2.5(25 - y) + 4.3y = 89.5

62.5 - 2.5y + 4.3y = 89.5

1.8y = 27

y = 15

so x = 25 - y = 25 - 15 = 10

So we need 10 pounds of milk chocolate, 15 pounds of dark chocolate, and 10 + 15 = 25 pounds of almond chocolate

Continous variables on the other hand could have an infinite number of points inbetween two integer values. With the values inbetween being decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer :

A discrete random variable

Number of authors will be an integer value.

b. The height of a randomly selected giraffe ;

Continous random variable
