Answer:

He used 6 bananas at .50 which cost $3.00

12 oranges at .75 which cost $9.00 and

3 papayas at $1.25 which cost $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations using the information given.

b for banana, r for orange, p for papaya

b + r + p = 21. Also given r = 2b So substitute to simplify for calculating two unknowns:

b + 2b + p = 21 The number of items.

50b + 75(2b) +125p = 1575 The cost.

I multiplied everything by 100 to eliminate the decimals.

To solve by substituion, rewrite the first equation to get a value for p in terms of b

p = 21 - 3b

Substitute this value in the second equation and solve for b.

50b + 150b + 125(21–3b) = 1575

200b +2625 –375b = 1575 Subtract 2625 from both sides and combine the like terms:

–175b = 1575 –2625

–175b = –1050. Divide both sides by –175

b = 6

Substitute in the original equation to find the amount of each fruit:

b + r + p = 21

b = 6 bananas

r = 2b. 2(6) = 12 oranges. I used r so as not to mix up o with 0.

6 + 12 + p = 21

p = 21 –18

p = 3 papayas

Please help, I keep getting bots. Using front-end estimation, find a reasonable estimate of:

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Roughly 18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When you need to do rough mental math, you can do something like 720 vs 25 or 30 which is pretty simple to do in your head.

If you are very proficient in mental math, you can do something like 720 * 25, which is harder, but if you know the tricks, you can do this quickly.

720 * 25

Multiply 25 by 7.

175

Add two zeros.

17,500

Multiply 25 by 2

Add a zero.

500.

17500 + 500 = 18000

What is the square root of 175

ankoles [38]

the square root of a number is: one number times itself equals that number. Confusing '-' An example is the square of 4 is 2 because 2 times 2 = 4, or the square root of 56 is 8 because 8 times 8 is 64. The square root of 175 is about 13.22875 because 13.22875 times 13.22875 = about 175

A data set has a median of 12, an upper quartile of 15, a lower quartile of 10, a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 20. Which state

ololo11 [35]

Given:

A data set has a median of 12, an upper quartile of 15, a lower quartile of 10, a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 20.

To find:

The correct statement for the box plot.

Solution:

Lower quartile is 10 and upper quartile is 15, so the box will go from 10 to 15.

Median of the data set is 12, so a line dividing the box will be at 12.

Minimum value is 4 and lower quartile is 10, so the left whisker will go from 4 to 10.

Upper quartile is 15 and maximum value is 20, so the right whisker will go from 15 to 20.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A laundry basket contains 8 white t-shirts and 6 black t-shirts. What is the probability of randomly picking a black t-shirt fro

MissTica

Answer:

30/182 = 15/91.

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBABILITY: the likelihood of an event.

There are a total of 14 shirts in the basket.

Of the 14, 8 (8/14) of them are white, and 6 (6/14) of them are black.

The probability of picking a black shirt is 6 in 14, or 6/14.

The probability of picking a white shirt is 8 in 14, or 8/14.

WITHOUT REPLACING: This means that you take one without putting it back. (There will be one less).

6/14 × 5/13 = 30/182.

30/182 = 15/91.

Jessica gets her favorite shade of purple by mixing 1/3 cup of blue with 1/2 of red. How many of blue and red paint does Jessica

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

8 cup of blue

12 cup of red

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate how much black paint is produced, assuming that the volumes add up, we have to:

1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6

5/6 cup of paint is produced, I want to know how much I need to produce 20 cups, I divide the value I want by the ideal value, that is, 5/6 and thus I obtain the factor that I require:

20 / (5/6) = 24

Now I multiply by 24 each quantity of blue and red paint

1/2 * 24 = 12

1/3 * 24 = 8

Which means you need 12 cups of red paint and 8 cups of blue paint
