Answer:
34x + 45y = 192.25
47x + 16y = 208
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x stand for peaches.
Let y stand for grapes.
Since we know that yesterday he sold 35 pounds of peaches ( x ) and 45 pounds of grapes ( y ) for $192.25, we can create an equation to represent this using two variables; peaches and grapes.
We can do the same thing with the amount of peaches and grapes he sold today. Once we make this equation, we will have two equations to make the system of equations to solve for x and y.
Answer:
If she walked 3.5 miles in 1.4 hours, then her pace was:
3.5 miles / 1.4 hours = 2.5 miles/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To get her pace in miles per hour, you take the number of miles and divide by the number of hours.
Answer:
Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that
when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.
Let's set this equation:
y=kx
Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.
The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).
We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k. (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).
So we have:
30000=k(1500)
300 =k(15) I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.
Now divide both sides by 15:
300/15=k
Simplify:
20=k
So the equation to use the answer the question is
y=20x
where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.
So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.
So replace x with 2375:
y=20(2375)
y=47500
A:23,500 seats
B and C: both have 11,750 seats
Answer:
2,070,281
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = number of years
let y = population
Given:
- initial population = 500000
- rate of increase = 7%
y = 500000 × 1.07^x
when x = 21:
y = 500000 × 1.07^(21) = 2070281.187... = 2,070,281
