Let the cost of a table be represented by x

Let the cost of a lamp be represented by y.

Since one table and two lamps cost $88, this can be represented as:

x + 2y = 88 ........ equation i

Since two tables and three lamps cost $153, this can be represented as:

2x + 3y = 153 ........ equation ii

Therefore, the equations are:

x + 2y = 88 ....... i

2x + 3y = 153 ....... ii

From equation i,

x + 2y = 88

x = 88 - 2y ...... iii

Put the value of x into equation ii

2x + 3y = 153

2(88 - 2y) + 3y = 153

176 - 4y + 3y = 153

Collect like terms

-4y + 3y = 153 - 176

-y = -23

y = 23

Therefore, a lamp cost $23

Answer:

One lamp is equal to 23 dollars

One table is equal to 42 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by first organizing what we have.

1 table (t) + 2 lamps (l) = 88.

2 tables (t) + 3 lamps (l) = 153.

_____________

===============

1t + 2l = 88

2t + 3l = 153

===============

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

If we multiply both sides by 2 on the first equation of

1t + 2l = 88

we could get

2t + 4l = 176.

If that is true, we can subtract the second equation of

2t + 3l = 153 from the new equation to get the price of a lamp.

2t + 4l = 176

- 2t + 3l = 153

____________

= 0t + l = 23

One lamp is equal to 23.

We can check this by plugging it into an equation.

1 + 2(23) = 88

1t + 46 = 88

1t + 46 - 46 = 88 - 46

1t = 42

If one table equals 42, we can put this back into the second equation to check.

2 (42) + 3 (23) = 153

84 + 69 = 153

That is correct.

Another way to solve is to put this like a system of equations in a graph, by replacing "t" by "x" for example, and "l" by y.

Then you could put it into a graphing calculator and solve by looking for the place where the two lines converge or meet.

Since we put "x" for "t", that means that whatever the x-value is on the solution point, that is the cost of a table, and the y-value is the cost of the lamps.

Another way to solve, is to find the unit rate first by subtracting the first equation from the second equation.

2t + 3l = 153

- 1t + 2l = 88

____________

= t + l = 65

If t + l = 65, we can rearrange that equation to be something like t = 65 - l.

That means "t" is equal to 65 bucks minus a lamp.

We put this back into the first equation of

1t + 2l = 88

and replace "t" with the previous expression.

1(65 - l) + 2l = 88

Simplify/distributive property

65 - l + 2l = 88

65 - 65 - l + 2l = 88 - 65

-l + 2l = 23

l = 23

One lamp is equal to 23 bucks.

Confirmed :)

Recall that the equation of the regression line is given by
$y=a+bx$
where
$a= \frac{(\Sigma y)(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma xy)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{200.5(1,525)-87(3,641.3)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2} \\ \\ = \frac{305,762.5-316793.1}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{-11,030.6}{1,581} =-6.977$
and
$b= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{6(3,641.3)-(87)(200.5)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2} \\ \\ = \frac{21,847.8-17,443.5}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{4,404.3}{1,581} =2.7858$

Thus, the equation of the regresson line is given by
$y=-6.977+2.7858x$

The graph of the regression line is attached.

Using the equation, we can predict the percent donated in the year 2015. Recall that 2015 is 35 years after 1980. Thus x = 35.

The percent donated in the year 2015 is given by
$-6.977+2.7858(35)=-6.977+97.503=90.526$

Therefore, the percent donated in the year 2015 is predicted to be 90.5

Vesnalui [34]

Option d is the correct answer. $38,430.00 is the amount saved for a down payment given that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500 and they have 18% of this amount saved for the down payment. This can be obtained by using percentage formula.

<h3>How much have they saved?</h3>

The percentage of a number can be obtained using percentage formula,

If P% of X is Y then it can be denoted using the formula of percentage as,

⇒ P% of X = Y

⇒ P% × X = Y (where P% is P/100)

Here in the question it is given that,

Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500

They have 18% of this amount saved for a down payment

We have to find the amount they saved for the down payment.

Given that the total amount = $213,500

Percentage they are saving = 18%

The amount they saved for the down payment,

18% of the total amount = 18% of $213,500

Using the percentage formula we get,

18% of $213,500 = 18% × $213,500

18% of $213,500 = 18/100 × $213,500

18% of $213,500 = $ 38,430.00

Hence Option d is the correct answer. $38,430.00 is the amount saved for a down payment given that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500 and they have 18% of this amount saved for the down payment.
