Answer:

Per ounce better buy is Happy popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Happy popcorn price for 16 ounces = $1.39

Popper popcorn price for 34 ounces = $2.79

Discount coupon present with Gabe = 40 ¢ = $0.40

To find:

Which brand is the better buy per ounce?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the price that Gabe has to pay after the discount coupon being applied.

Price for 16 ounces of Happy popcorn after discount = $1.29 - $0.40 = $0.99

Price for 1 ounce of Happy popcorn after discount = $\frac{\$0.99}{16}$ = $0.062

Price for 34 ounces of Popper popcorn after discount = $2.79 - $0.40 = $2.39

Price for 1 ounce of Popper popcorn after discount = $\frac{\$2.39}{34}$ = $0.070

Clearly, per ounce price of Happy popcorn is lesser than that of Popper popcorn.

Therefore per ounce better buy is Happy popcorn.

A movie theater complex gave a poll as viewers exited from two theaters showing the same film. They had a 20% response rate from

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Let´s define the variables:

x = number of people in theater A

y = number of people in theater B

We know that a 20% (or 0.2 in decimal form) of the people in theater A answered the survey, then the number of people from theater A that answered the survey is: Na = 0.2*x

We know that a 30% (or 0.3 in decimal form) of the people in theater B answered the survey, then the number of people from theater B that answered the survey is: Nb = 0.3*y

There where 800 people in total (counting from the two theatres)

Then x + y = 800.

A) In this case we have:

Na = Nb

this means that:

0.2*x = 0.3*y

and we also have the equation:

x + y = 800

To solve this, we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation:

x = 800 - y

And now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

0.2*(800 - y) = 0.3*y

We need to solve this for y:

160 - 0.2*y = 0.3*y

160 = 0.3*y + 0.2*y = 0.5*y

160/0.5 = y = 320

Then there where 320 people in theater B, and:

x + y = 800

x + 320 = 800

x = 800 - 320 = 480

There where 480 people in theather A.

B) Now we have:

x = 440

y = 360

then:

Na = 0.2*440 = 88

In theater A, 88 people answered the survey.

Nb = 0.3*360 = 108

In theater B, 108 people answered the survey.

In total, 88 + 108 = 196 people answered the survey.
