Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.

The variables x and y vary inversely If x=5 when y=12, then find the value of x when y=32
Vilka [71]

Answer:

x=15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is given by

xy = k

Substituting x=5 and y=12

5*12 = k

60 =k

Our original equation is xy = 60

Now let y=32

x*32 = 60

Divide each side by 32

32x/32 = 60/32

Divide top and bottom by 4

x = 15/8

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line 3x - 2y = -16
denis-greek [22]
We will solve for y.
-3x-16=-2y


Divide both sides by -2
y=\frac{3}{2}x + 8


<u>Slope-intercept form</u>

y=\frac{3}{2}x + 8

What is the total cost with sales tax? $370.00 tax 5%
kolezko [41]

Answer: $388.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = cost + sales tax

Given that cost = $370

Sales tax = 5% of $370

5/100 × 370 = $18.5

Total cost = $370 + $18.5

= $388.5

I hope this is clear.
