Answer:

The card was worth $160.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Percent of gift card used = 42%

Cost of groceries = $67.20

Let,

x be the total amount on gift card.

42% of x = 67.20

\frac{42}{100}x=67.20

0.42x = 67.20

\frac{0.42x}{0.42}=\frac{67.20}{0.42}\\x=160

Therefore,

The card was worth $160.

Problema de capacidades Una empresa aceitera ha envasado 3000 litros de aceite en 1200 botellas de dos y de cinco litros. ¿Cuánt
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Hay 200 botellas de 5 litros y 1000 botellas de 2 litros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un sistema de ecuaciones lineales es un conjunto de dos o más ecuaciones de primer grado, en el cual se relacionan dos o más incógnitas.

Resolver un sistema de ecuaciones consiste en encontrar el valor de cada incógnita para que se cumplan todas las ecuaciones del sistema.

En este caso, las variables a calcular son:

  • x= cantidad de botellas de 2 litros.
  • y= cantidad de botellas de 5 litros.

Una empresa aceitera ha envasado 3000 litros de aceite en 1200 botellas de dos y de cinco litros. Entonces es posible plantear el siguiente sistema de ecuaciones:

\left \{ {{2*x+5*y=3000} \atop {x+y=1200}} \right.

Existen varios métodos para resolver un sistema de ecuaciones. Resolviendo por el método de sustitución, que consiste en despejar o aislar una de las incógnitas y sustituir su expresión en la otra ecuación, despejas x de la segunda ecuación:

x= 1200 - y

Sustituyendo la expresión en la primer ecuación:

2*(1200 - y) + 5*y=3000

Resolviendo se obtiene:

2*1200 - 2*y + 5*y= 3000

2400 +3*y= 3000

3*y= 3000 - 2400

3*y= 600

y= 600÷3

y= 200

Reemplazando en la expresión x= 1200 - y:

x= 1200 - y

x=1200 -200

x= 1000

Austin keeps a right conical basin for the birds in his garden as represented in the diagram. The basin is 40 centimeters deep,
Lina20 [59]

The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.

<h3>What is the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim?​</h3>

If you draw a line along the middle of the cone, you'd finish up with two right triangles and the line even bisects the angle between the sloping sides. The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exists in the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one angle calculating 38.5°. So, utilizing trigonometry and allowing x as the measurement of the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim.

Cos 38.5 = 40 / x

Solving the value of x, we get

Multiply both sides by x

$\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x=\frac{40}{x} x

$\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x=40

Divide both sides by $\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)$

$\frac{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x}{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)}=\frac{40}{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)}

simplifying the above equation, we get

$x=\frac{40}{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)}

x = 51.11cm

The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.

If Zach has 4 times as many dimes as quarters and they have a combined value of 455 cents, how many of each coins does he have?
aliya0001 [1]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

Zach has 28 dimes and 7 quarters.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, Zach has 4 times as many dimes as quarters  

And they have a combined value of 455 cents,  

We need to find how many of each coins does he have?

Let, the number of dimes be x and number of quarters be y.

Then, x = 4y → (1)

Total combined value = 455 cents

x(value of one dime) + y(value of one quarter) = 455 cents

x(10 cents) + x(25 cents) = 455 cents

10x + 25y = 455 → (2)

Now, substitute (1) in (2)

10(4y) + 25y = 455

40x + 25y = 455

65y = 455

y = 7

substitute y value in (1)

x = 4(7)  = 28

Hence, zach has 28 dimes and 7 quarters.
