This is a simple exercise with rates.
You just have to divide the total profit of the store, that year, per the profit of the particular store.

[3.0479×10⁸ dollars] ÷ [2.102×10⁶ dollars] = 1,45 x 10²

How many solutions does the system of equations below have?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 8

15x + 15y = 14

Lets solve using substitution, first we need to turn "5x + = 8" into "y = mx + b" or slope - intercept form

So we solve for "y" in the equation "5x + y = 8"

5x + y = 8

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

5x + y − 5x = 8 − 5x

Step 2: 5x subtracted by 5x cancel out and "8 - 5x" are flipped

y = −5x + 8

Now we can solve using substitution:

We substitute "-5x + 8" into the equation "15x + 15y = 14" for y

So it would look like this:

15x + 15(-5x + 8) = 14

Now we just solve for x

15x + (15)(−5x) + (15)(8) = 14(Distribute)

15x − 75x + 120 = 14

(15x − 75x) + (120) = 14(Combine Like Terms)

−60x + 120 = 14

Step 2: Subtract 120 from both sides.

−60x + 120 − 120 = 14 − 120

−60x = −106

Divide both sides by -60

$\dfrac{ -60x }{ -60 } = \dfrac{ -106 }{ -60 }$

Simplify

$x = \dfrac{ 53 }{ 30 }$

Now that we know the value of x, we can solve for y in any of the equations, but let's use the equation "y = −5x + 8"

$\mathrm{So\:it\:would\:look\:like\:this:\ y = -5 \left( \dfrac{ 53 }{ 30 } \right) +8}$

$\mathrm{Now\:lets\:solve\:for\:"y"\:then}$

$y = -5 \left( \dfrac{ 53 }{ 30 } \right) +8}$

$\mathrm{Express\: -5 \times \dfrac{ 53 }{ 30 }\:as\:a\:single\:fraction}$

$y = \dfrac{ -5 \times 53 }{ 30 } +8$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:-5 \:and\:53\:to\:get\:-265 }$

$y = \dfrac{ -265 }{ 30 } +8$

$\mathrm{Simplify\: \dfrac{ -265 }{ 30 } \:,by\:dividing\:both\:-265\:and\:30\:by\:5} }$

$y = \dfrac{ -265 \div 5 }{ 30 \div 5 } +8$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$y = - \dfrac{ 53 }{ 6 } +8$

$\mathrm{Turn\:8\:into\:a\:fraction\:that\:has\:the\:same\:denominator\:as\: - \dfrac{ 53 }{ 6 }}$

$\mathrm{Multiples\:of\:1: \:1,2,3,4,5,6}$

$\mathrm{Multiples\:of\:6: \:6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:8\:to\:fraction\:\dfrac{ 48 }{ 6 }}$

$y = - \dfrac{ 53 }{ 6 } + \dfrac{ 48 }{ 6 }$

$\mathrm{Since\: - \dfrac{ 53 }{ 6 }\:have\:the\:same\:denominator\:,\:add\:them\:by\:adding\:their\:numerators}$

$y = \dfrac{ -53+48 }{ 6 }$

$\mathrm{Add\: -53 \: and\: 48\: to\: get\: -5}$

$y = - \dfrac{ 5 }{ 6 }$

$\mathrm{The\:solution\:is\:the\:ordered\:pair\:(\dfrac{ 53 }{ 30 }, - \dfrac{ 5 }{ 6 })}$

So there is only one solution to the equation.

Five cats each ate 1/4 cup of canned food . How much food did they eat altogether?

Sauron [17]

We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.

Then, the five of them together ate:

5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:

5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups

This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)

5/4 = 1 1/4

Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.

A potato chip company makes potato chips in two flavors, Regular and Salt & Vinegar. Riley is a production manager for the c

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

(a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1≠μ2, which is a two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate the

H0: μ1=μ2; null hypothesis that the two means are equal and alternate hypothesis that the two mean are not equal.

Ha:μ1≠μ2 Two tailed test

Test statistic used is

t= x1`-x2` / s√n as the variances are equal and sample size is same

T value for 9 degrees of freedom for two tailed test at α = 0.05 is 2.26

P- value for t test for 9 degrees of freedom is 0.125 from the table.

Hence only a is correct .

Find the range of the function:<br><br> f(x) = x + 3, for x ≠ 1

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

All Real Numbers except for 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Objective: Specify domain and range of a function.

The equation is a linear equation. A linear equation range is all real numbers. However x cannot equal 1 so let plug in x to find where the y value CANT be.

$f(1) = 1 + 3 = 4$

So the range is

All Real Numbers except for 4.
