Answer:

Let x be the number of pencils Steve bought.

Let y be the number of erasers Steve bought.

x=y+5

0.1x + 0.25y = 1.55

Solving the system, our answer is: (8, 3)

So, she bought 3 erasers.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer:

1 = 0.61, 2 = 1.13

The amount of toothpaste in a tube is normally distributed with a mean of 6.5 ounces and a standard
Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) 266 tubes ,  TC_r = $53.2

b) 266 tubes ,  T.Loss = $13.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The sample size of tubes n = 1,000 tubes

- The mean of the sample u = 6.5 oz

- The standard deviation of the sample s.d = 0.8 oz

- Cost of manufacturing a tube C_t = 50 cents

- Cost of refilling a tube C_r = 20 cents

- Profit loss per tube Loss = 5 cents

Find:

a). How many tubes will be found to contain less than 6 ounces? In that case, what will be the total cost of the  refill?

b) How many tubes will be found to contain more than 7 ounces? In that case, what will be the amount of  profit lost?

Solution:

- First we will compute the probability of tube containing less than 6 oz.

- Declaring X : The amount of toothpaste.

Where,                         X ~ N ( 6.5 , 0.8 )

- We need to compute P ( X < 6 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X < 6 oz ) =  P ( Z < (6 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < -0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X < 6 oz ) = P ( Z < -0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies below 6 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X < 6 ounces = 1000* P ( X < 6 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            TC_r = C_f*(number of tubes with X < 6)

                            TC_r = 20*266 = 5320 cents = $53.2

- We need to compute P ( X > 7 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X > 7 oz ) =  P ( Z > (7 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < 0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X > 7 oz ) = P ( Z > 0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies above 7 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X > 7 ounces = 1000* P ( X > 7 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            T.Loss = Loss*(number of tubes with X > 7)

                            T.Loss = 5*266 = 1330 cents = $13.30

Solve the linear equation.
Nataliya [291]

7x+10=\dfrac{1}{3}(12x-3)+14x\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\7x+10=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot12x-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot3+14x\\\\7x+10=4x-1+14x\\\\7x+10=18x-1\qquad\text{substitute 10 from both sides}\\\\7x=18x-11\qquad\text{subtract 18x from both sides}\\\\-11x=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-11)}\\\\\boxed{x=1}

What is the product of 3y<br> product of (3y^)(274)
Dima020 [189]

3y^-4 × (2y^-4) = 6y^-8

= 6/1/y^8

= 6/y^8

.................................................

1) When x^1 multiply with x^2, 1 will add to 2 and become 3

= x^3

2) y^-1 = 1/y

3^-2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9

5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25
