Answer:

j = $7

b = $12

c = $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

j = cost of one pound of jelly

b = cost of one pound of Bonbon

c = cost of one pound of chocolate

First week:

two pounds of Jellies and two pounds of Bonbons for $38.

2j + 2b = 38

Second week:

two pounds of Jellies and four pounds of Chocolates for $74

2j + 4c = 74

Third week:

two pounds of Jellies, two pounds of Bonbons and one pound of Chocolates for $53.

2j + 2b + c = 53

Recall,

2j + 2b = 38

So,

38 + c = 53

c = 53 - 38

= 15

c = $15

Substitute c = 15 into

2j + 4c = 74

2j + 4(15) = 74

2j + 60 = 74

2j = 74 - 60

2j = 14

j = 14/2

= 7

j = $7

Substitute j = 7 into

2j + 2b = 38

2(7) + 2b = 38

14 + 2b = 38

2b = 38 - 14

2b = 24

b = 24/2

= 12

b = $12

When One Route and their support act, Cinnamon Bunnies, played, £54,000 was split at a ratio of 1:3:8 between the arena, Cinammo
dimaraw [331]

The ratio is split as arena first, Cinnamon Bunnies second and One Route third.

Add the ratios together: 1 + 3 +8 = 12

Divide the total money by 12, then multiply that by the share One Route gets (8)

54,000 / 12 = 4,500

4,500 x 8 = 36,000

One Route get £36,000

Your friend has a z-table, and you don't. You ask your friend to look up the area in a tail on the left hand side of the normal
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

  d. 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the area under the normal curve is found to the left of the midpoint, where z=0. For negative values of z, the area under the curve is less than half.

Area under a normal curve is always a positive value between 0 and 1, so will never be negative.

The only value that can be an area in a left-hand tail is 0.4013.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That value corresponds to z ≈ -0.25.
