Answer:

The cost of each drink is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The cost of snacks = x

The cost of drinks = y

50 snacks and 180 drinks will sell for $320

Hence:

50x + 180y = 320....... Equation 1

75 snacks and 100 drinks will sell for $225.

Hence:

75x + 100y = 225....... Equation 2

Combining both Equations together

50x + 180y = 320....... Equation 1

75x + 100y = 225....... Equation 2

Multiply Equation 1 by 75 and Equation 2 by 50 to eliminate x

3750x + 13500y = 24000..... Equation 3

3750x + 5000y = 11250....... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

8500y = 12750

y = 12750/8500

y = $1.5

Therefore, the cost of each drink is $1.5

Sheri built a 1/200 scale model of a dam. She used 0.1 cubic meter of plaster. What is the volume of the actual dam in cubic met
Fynjy0 [20]
The correct answer is C) 800,000 cubic meters.

The scale given is for the length, width or height of the model.  In order to find the scale for the volume, we would cube this scale, since volume is a cubic measurement:
(1/200)³ = 1/8,000,000

Since the volume of the model is 0.1, we multiply this by 8,000,000 to find the volume of the actual dam:
0.1(8000000) = 800,000

Shelly paid $8.84 for a pizza. This amount includes a sales tax of 4%. What was the cost of the pizza before tax?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

$8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price before tax be $x

given that the sales tax rate is 4%, hence the amount she paid in taxes

= 4% of x

= (4/100)x

= 0.04x

We can now build an equation for what she paid:

Amount Paid = price before tax + amount paid in taxes

8.84 = x + 0.04x

8.84 = 1.04x   (divide both sides by 1.04 and rearranging)

x = 8.84 / 1.04

x = $8.50

What is the length of the missing side? What is the area of the figure?<br>Show ALL work.​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Missing side=25 units.

Area of the figure= 470 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

To get the base of the triangle, we find the difference between the two parallel sides, that is, 16ft and 31 ft.

31ft-16ft=15ft  

The height of the triangle is 20 since it is parallel and equal to the length of the rectangle.

We therefore use pythagoras theorem to find ?

a²+b²=c²

15²+20²=c²

625=c²

c=25

ii. The figure is a trapezium therefore we use the following formula to find the area.

A= 1/2(a+b)h, where a and b are the two parallel sides. and h the distance between them.

=(1/2)(31+16)×20

=470 sq units
