Answer:

Cherry Pie=$12 per 1

Apple pie= $9 per 1

Let x represent number of Cherry Pies sold.

let y represent number of Apple pie sold

x + y = 20---------------1

12x + 9y = 198---------2

From eqn 1

x=20-y

Substitute into eqn 2

12x + 9y = 198

12(20-y) + 9y=198

240 - 12y + 9y = 198

240 - 3y =198

3y = 240 - 198

3y=42

y=14.

x + y =20

x + 14=20

x=20-14

x=6.

So...

Answer:

You sold 6 cherry pies and 14 apple pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a system of equations problem.

12C + 9A = 198

A + C = 20

A = 20 - C

12C + 9(20 - C) = 198

12C + 180 - 9C = 198

3C + 180 = 198

3C = 18

C = 6

A + 6 = 20

A = 14

What is the halflife

blagie [28]

To model half-life, use the formula $A(t)=A_0 (\dfrac{1}{2})^{ \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$ . Here, $A(t)$ is the amount remaining after a length of time $t$ . $A_0$ is the amount that you start with. $t_{1/2}$ is the half-life. You plug in 50 for $t_{1/2}$ , 10 for $A_0$ , and 25 for $t$ . You get $A(t)=10( \frac{1}{2})^{25/50} = 10( \frac{1}{2})^{1/2} = 7.07 \ grams$ .

8. 3x-4>38
3x>38+4
3x>42
x>42/3
x>14
So the answer is A. x>14

9. It's A. Two less than four times a number is 12. Because 4x (four times) and also it says 2 less than 4 times a number...

Find the values of x and y

zhuklara [117]

You can use a tangent:

$tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

We have opposite = 17 and adjacent = x.

$\tan30^o=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}$

substitute:

$\dfrac{17}{x}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}$ cross multiply

$x\sqrt3=(3)(17)$ multiply both sides by √3

$x(\sqrt3)(\sqrt3)=51\sqrt3$

$3x=51\sqrt3$ divide both sides by 3

$x=17\sqrt3$

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$y^2=(17\sqrt3)^2+17^2\\\\y^2=289(\sqrt3)^2+289\\\\y^2=289\cdot3+289\\\\y^2=867+289\\\\y^2=1156\to y=\sqrt{1156}\\\\y=34$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other method.

$30^o-60^o-90^o$ triangle.

The sides are in the ratio $1:2:\sqrt3\to17:y:x$

Therefore

$17:(2\cdot17):(17\sqrt3)\to17:34:17\sqrt3\to x=34,\ y=17\sqrt3$

today a boat valued at $45,000.Thebvalue is expected to decrease at a rate of 8.5% each year.What is the value of the boat expec

Stels [109]

Current value of the boat = $45000

Rate at which the value decrease = 8.5%

Value decreased after 1 year = $\frac{8.5}{100}\times45000=3825$

Hence, value becomes = $45000-3825=41175$

Value decreased after 2nd year =

$\frac{8.5}{100}\times41175=3499.875$

Hence, value becomes = $41175-3499.875=37675.125$

Value decreased after 3 year =

$\frac{8.5}{100}\times37675.125=3202.385$

Hence, value becomes = $37675.125-3202.385=34472.74$

So, value of the boat after 3 years becomes $34472.74
