X + y = 152, 8.5x + 12y = 1,656 How many hats were sold?

Mathematics

Elodia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 48 and y = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

x+y = 152\\8.5x+12y=1656

From equation 1:

x = 152-y

Putting the value of y in equation 2

8.5(152-y)+12y = 1656\\1292-8.5y+12y = 1656\\3.5y+1292 = 1656\\3.5y = 1656-1292\\3.5y = 364\\\frac{3.5y}{3.5} = \frac{364}{3.5}\\y = 104

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x

Putting y = 104 in the first equation

x+y = 152\\x+ 104 = 152\\x = 152-104\\x = 48

Hence,

The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104

The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.

A box contains 19 large marbles and 18 small marbles. Each marble is either green or white. 9 of the large marbles are green, an
pshichka [43]

If a marble is randomly selected from the box, then the probability

that it is small or green is 0.7297

Step-by-step explanation:

A box contains 19 large marbles and 18 small marbles

Each marble is either green or white

9 of the large marbles are green, and 8 of the small marbles are white

If a marble is randomly selected from the box, we need to find the

probability that it is small or green

1. Find P(small) ⇒ P(s)

2.Find P(green) ⇒ P(g)

3. Find P(small and green) ⇒ P(s and g)

4. Use the rule P(small or green) = P(s) + P(g) - P(s and g)

∵ The box contains 19 large marbles and 18 small marbles

∴ The total number of marbles = 19 + 18 = 37

∴ P(s) = \frac{18}{37}

∵ There are 8 small white marbles

∵ There are 18 small marbles

∴ The number of small green marbles = 18 - 8 = 10

∴ P(s and g) = \frac{10}{37}

∵ There are 9 large green marbles

∵ There are 10 small green marbles

∴ The number of green marbles = 9 + 10 = 19

∴ P(g) = \frac{19}{37}

∵ P(small or green) = P(s) + P(g) - P(s and g)

∴ P(small or green) = \frac{18}{37}+\frac{19}{37}-\frac{10}{37}

∴ P(small or green) = \frac{27}{37} = 0.7297

If a marble is randomly selected from the box, then the probability

that it is small or green is 0.7297
