Answer:

6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The bag contained a mixture of regular flavored jellybeans and "surprise" jellybeans.

There are 40 jellybeans in the bag.

If 15% of the jellybean were "surprise" flavors.

Then, the number of expected "surprise" jellybeans will be:

= 15% of 40 jellybeans

= (15/100) × 40

= 6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

If  6 surprise jellybean is contained in the bag;

Thus, the number of regular flavored jellybean will be

= 40 - 6

= 34 regular flavored jellybean

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1. What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to
VikaD [51]

Answer:

y = 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- interceot form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 12y = - 1 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

12y = - 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - \frac{1}{6} x - \frac{1}{12} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{6}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{6} } = 6

Note the line passes through (0, 9) on the y- axis ⇒ c = 9

y = 6x + 9 ← equation of perpendicular line

A jar contains nickels and dimes. There are 20 coins in the jar, and the total value of
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n and d are the number of nickels and dimes, respectively.

"there are 20 coins"

n+d = 20

d = 20-n

"total value is $1.40"

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.40

0.05n + 0.10(20-n) = 1.40

-0.05n + 2 = 1.40

0.05n = 0.6

n = 12

d = 20-m = 8
