Answer:

She can get 10 pounds of steak and 10 pounds of chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Jacie wants to have at least 20 pounds of meat, you can write the following  equation:

x+y=20, where

x refers to the pounds of steak

y refers to the pounds of chicken

Also, since the statement indicate that the steak is $8 per pound and chicken is $4 per pound and Jacie wants to spend at most 120 dollars on meat, you can write the following equation:

8x+4y=120

So, you have the following equations:

x+y=20 (1)

8x+4y=120 (2)

Now, you can solve for x in (1):

x=20-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

8(20-y)+4y=120

160-8y+4y=120

160-120=8y-4y

40=4y

y=40/4

y=10

Finally, you can relace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=20-y

x=20-10

x=10

According to this, the answer is that she can get 10 pounds of steak and 10 pounds of chicken.

Monica [59]

Answer: Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to cook=P(C) = 42%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to sew =P(S)= 23%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to both cook and sew

P(C\cap S)=7\%

As we know the "Probability rules " :

P(C\cup S)=P(C)+P(S)-P(S\cap C)\\\\P(C\cup S)=42+23-7\\\\P(C\cup S)=58

So, Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Find the area of the shape below.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

 A_{shape}=A_{triangle}+A_{square}\\\\A_{shape}=(\frac{bh}{2}+s^2)\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that it is a composed figure formed by a triangle and a square.Since you did not  give the dimensions of the triangle and the dimensions of the square, I will giveyou  a general explanation about how to solve this exercise.

The area of the shape will be the sum of the the area of the square and the area of the triangle.

Then, you need to remember that the area of a triangle can be calculated with the following formula:

A_{triangle}=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

And the area of a square can be found with this formula:

A_{square}=s^2

Where "s" is the length of any side of the square.

Therefore, the area of the shape will be

 A_{shape}=A_{triangle}+A_{square}\\\\A_{shape}=(\frac{bh}{2}+s^2)\ units^2
