A sporting goods store has a sale on soccer balls: if you buy two soccer balls at the regular price, you get a third soccer ball

for $1. Coach John bought 24 identical soccer balls during this sale for $136. What is the regular price for one of these soccer balls?

Answer:

The regular price of the balls is $8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sporting goods store sales promotion is as follows;

The price of the third ball after buying two balls at regular price = $1.00

The price of the number of balls Coach John pays for the balls he bought = $136

To buy 24 balls, we have;

2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1

Therefore;

The number of balls bought at regular price = The sum of the 2s = 16 balls

The number of balls bought for $1 = 24 - 16 = 8 balls

Let x represent the regular price of the balls, we have;

16 × x + 8 = 136

16·x = 138 - 8 = 128

x = 128/16 = 8

The regular price of the balls = x = $8.

If f(x) = x2 – 1 and g(x) = 2x – 3, what is the domain
Ainat [17]
Begin by finding the lowest point the quadratic equation can be, the vertex; 

x²-1= is just a translation down of the graph x²

vertex; (0, -1) and since the graph of x² would extend to infinity beyond that point, we can say {x| x≥0} for domain and {y| y≥-1}. 

For the linear equation, it is possible to have all x and y values, therefore range and domain belong to all real numbers. 

Hope I helped :)

Approximately 12.6% of all (untreated) Jonathan apples had bitter pit in a study conducted by the botanists Ratkowsky and Martin
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be a random variable that represents the first Jonathan apple chosen at random that has bitter pit.

a) P(X = n) = q(n-1)p, where q = 1 - p.

From the information given, probability if success, p = 12.6/100 = 0.126

b) for n = 3, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 3) = 0.096

For n = 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 5) = 0.074

For n = 12, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 12) = 0.8

c) For n ≥ 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n ≥ 5) = 0.58

d) the expected number of apples that must be examined to find the first one with bitter pit is the mean.

Mean = 1/p

Mean = 1/0.126 = 7.9

Approximately 8 apples

Pavel [41]

Answer:

27 stuffed bears

Step-by-step explanation:

Erin: 55   Su: 15

Erin: 55-7=48 ( 7 will be kept for herself)

Erin and her sisters: 48/4= 12

Each sister besides Erin and Su have 12

Su: 15+12=27

Thus, Su will have 27 stuffed bears
