Answer:

C. $16.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per pound of salmon be represented by x

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y

Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25

2.5 × x + 1.25× y = $31.25

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

The swordfish costs $0.20 per pound less than the salmon.

y = x - 0.20

Hence, we substitute

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25(x - 0.20) = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25x - 0.25 = 31.25

2.5x + 1.25x = 31.25 + 0.25

3.75x = 31.5

x = 31.5/3.75

x = $8.4

The cost per pound of salmon be represented by x = $8.4

y = x - 0.20

y = 8.4 - 0.20

y = $8.2

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y = $8.2

The cost of a pound of salmon and sword fish

= $8.4 + $8.2

=$16.60

Answer: b^2+h^2=x^2

Step-by-step explanation: The line labeled x here is called the hypotenuse. There are a few ways to calculate the hypotenuse, but the most common way is by using this equation: b^2+h^2=x^2.

I hope this helped! ;) Good luck on your test or quiz or whatever you have to do in order to pass!

Alina [70]

Corrected Question

Sue travels by bus or walks when she visits the shops. The probability that she catches the bus to the shops is 0.4. The probability she catches the bus from the shops is 0.7. Show the probability that Sue walks at one way is 0.72

Answer:

P(A \cup B) =0.72 (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue travels by bus or walks when she visits the shops.

Let the event that she catches the bus to the shop=A

Let the event that she catches the bus from the shop=B

P(A)=0.4

P(B)=0.7

Both A and B are independent events.

Therefore,Probability that she catches the bus to and from the shop:

P(A∩B) = 0.4 X 0.7= 0.28

Probability Sue walks at least one way P(A \cup B) = 1 - P(A \cap B)

= 1 - 0.28\\= 0.72

Hence, the probability that Sue walks at least one way is 0.72.

Ty flipped a coin and counted how many times it landed on heads and how many times it landed on
lesya [120]
<h3>Answer:  13/28</h3>

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

Reason:

The table shows he got 26 heads out of 26+30 = 56 coin flips.

26/56 = (2*13)/(2*28) = 13/28 is the empirical or experimetnal probablity of getting heads.

Side note: 13/28 = 0.4643 = 46.43% approximately which is fairly close to 50%
