Marcus has been running a beverage cart on weekends at the beach, selling water and soda. Last Saturday, he sold 40 bottles of w

ater and 25 sodas, bringing in $110. Sunday, he sold 50 bottles of water and 45 sodas, making $165. What are the prices for each beverage option?

Answer:

$2 for soda and $1.5 for a bottle of water

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by turning both situations into an equation

Let x represent bottles of water and y represent sodas

Saturday:

40x+25y=110

Sunday:

50x+45y=165

You then want to start by cancelling out the x in this equation, to do that you want 40x to become -50x so you:

50÷40=1.25

You then times the whole equation by -1.25

40x+25y=110

×-1.25

-50x+-31.25y= -137.5

You then add this equation by Sunday's equation

50x+45y=165

-50x+-31.25y=-137.5

          13.75y=27.5

You now want to make the co-efficient of y a whole number (for example 15) so you divide 15/13.75=1.09 recurring

13.75y=27.5

×1.09 recurring

    15y=30

15y/15=30/15

     y=2

Now that we know y = 2

We can use either Saturday or Sunday's equation to figure out the value of x

Let's use Sunday's:

50x+45×2=165

50x+90=165

50x+90-90=165-90

50x/50=75/50

x=1.5

Let's check our answer with Saturday's equation

40×1.5+25×2=110

This equation is correct

Therefore the prices for each beverage option is $1.5 for a bottle of water and $2 for a soda

What is 5.6 equalivent to
Sloan [31]
(this is for fractions!!!!!!!!!!!!)  28/5 or 5 3/5

i think u just make it into 5.6/1 multiply by 10 which gets 56/10 and wala 
but it's not simplified. 56 and 10 is divisible by 2 so u get 28/5 which is actually 5 3/5 (which is 5.6!!)

F(x) = lnx/x
My name is Ann [436]
f(x) = \frac{lnx}{x}

(a) f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]
Using the quotient rule:
f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - lnx}{x^{2}}
f'(x) = \frac{1 - lnx}{x^{2}}

For maximum, f'(x) = 0;
\frac{1 - lnx}{x} = 0
lnx = 1, x = e

(b) <em>Deduce:
</em>e^{x} \geq x^{e}, x > 0
<em>
Soln:</em> Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)
\frac{ln(e)}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}
\frac{1}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}, since ln(e) is simply equal to 1

Now, since x > 0, then we don't have to worry about flipping the signs when multiplying by x.
\frac{x}{e} \geq lnx
x \geq elnx
x \geq ln(x^{e})

Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:
e^{x} \geq e^{ln(x^{e}})
e^{x} \geq x^{e}, as required.

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number is equal to the quotient of 20 and the number. Find the number.
Monica [59]

Equation to find number: \frac{1}{n} - 3 = \frac{20}{n}

Number's value: n = -\frac{19}{3}



Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the unknown number.

The reciprocal basically makes the number (n in this case) a fraction. So, that being said, the reciprocal of n would be \frac{1}{n}.

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number (\frac{1}{n}) would be \frac{1}{n} - 3.

The quotient of 20 and the number (n) would be \frac{20}{n}.

So, with this information we've gathered so far, we can come up with an equation to find what the number equals.

Equation: \frac{1}{n} - 3 = \frac{20}{n}

To find what the number equals we must solve the equation.

There are 5 flowers in the last vase because you divide 878 by 9 and get 97 and then you have 5 leftover

hram777 [196]
Since the radius is the same but the height changes, the volume would change by the multiple of the height.
 In this case the volume of the larger cone would be 4 times as large as the smaller cone so you would need 4 small cones
