Amelia and Nora go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Amelia spends a total of $18.00 on 6 bags o

f popcorn and 3 drinks. Nora spends $31.25 on 5 bags of popcorn and 9 drinks. Write a System of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn in the price of one drink. Using these equations determine and state the price of the drink to the nearest cent

Answer:

the price of the drink to the nearest cent is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bag of popcorn = b

1 drink = d

Amelia spends this:

6b + 3d = 18.00

6b = 18 - 3d

b = 18/6 -3d/6

b = 3 - 1/2*d

Nora spends this:

5b + 9d = 31.25

9d = 31.25 - 5b

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b

now substitute d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b in b = 3 - 1/2*d

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*(3 - 1/2*d)

d = 31.25/9 -15/9 + 5/18d

18/18d - 5/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

13/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

d = 18/13 * ( 31.25/9 -15/9 )

d = 2,5

The price of a drink is $2.50

EXTRA

now substitute d = 2,5 in b = 3 - 1/2*d

b = 3 - 1/2*(2.5)

b = 3 - 1.25

b = 1.75

The price of a bag of popcorn is $1.75

If g:<br>x = 2x-3 4 find 9^-1 (-3)​
vfiekz [6]

The inverse function of g(x) will be g⁻¹(x) = (4x + 3) / 2. Then the value of the inverse function, at x = -3, will be 4.5.

<h3>What is inverse of a function?</h3>

Let the function will be

f: X → Y

Then the inverse function will be

f⁻¹: Y → X

The function is given below.

g(x) = (2x – 3) / 4

Then the inverse function of g(x) will be

g⁻¹(x) = (4x + 3) / 2

Then the value of the inverse function, at x = -3, will be

g⁻¹(-3) = [4(-3) + 3] / 2

g⁻¹(-3) = -4.5

Determine the relationships between the following lines: *
Dennis_Churaev [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  the lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell something by looking at the differences of coordinates:

  B-A = (6-2, -11-5) = (4, -16) . . . . . Δy/Δx = -16/4 = -4

  D-C = (-1-3, 9-10) = (-4, -1) . . . . .  Δy/Δx = -1/-4 = 1/4

The product of the slopes of these lines is (-4)(1/4) = -1, so ...

  the lines are perpendicular

3. The minimum payment on a credit card is based on the total amount owed. A credit card company uses
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum payment on a credit card is based on the total amount owed. A credit card company uses the following rules: For a bill less than $20 the entire amount is due, for a bill of at least $20 but less than $500, the minimum due is $20. For a bill of at least $500 but less than $1000 the minimum due is $40 and for a bill of at least $1000 but less than $1500 the minimum due is $80 dollars. For a bill of $1500 or more the minimum due is 1/10th of the bill.

a. Write a function to describe the minimum payment due.  

b. What is the minimum payment due if the bill is $345?  

c. What is the minimum payment due if the bill is $1410?  

d. What is the minimum payment due if the bill is $1700?

Solution:

Let B represent the minimum due payment for a bill in dollars and let x represent the bill in dollars. Therefore:

For x < 20, B = x

For 20 ≤ x < 500, B = 20

For 500 ≤ x < 1000, B = 40

For 1000 ≤ x < 1500, B = 80

For x ≥ 1500, B = (1/10)x

a)

B(x)=\left \{ {{x\ \ \ x

b) For 20 ≤ x < 500, B = 20

Therefore if the bill is $345 (x = 345), the minimum payment due would be $20

c) For 1000 ≤ x < 1500, B = 80

Therefore if the bill is $1410 (x = 1410), the minimum payment due would be $80

d) For x ≥ 1500, B = (1/10)x

Therefore if the bill is $1700 (x = 1700), the minimum payment due would be $170 (1/10 * 1700)
