Answer:

kiwis = $1.5

mangoes = $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations can be derived from the question

2m + 3k = 9 equation 1

5m + 2k = 14.25 equation 2

m = mangoes

k = kiwis

multiply equation 1 by 5 and 2 by 2

10m + 15k = 45 equation 3

10m +4k = 28.5 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

11k = 16.5

k = 1.5

Substitute for k in equation 1

2m + 3(1.5) = 9

2m + 4.5 = 9

2m = 4.5

m = 2.25

3. The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Lola, Ahmed, and Tommy. Lola sold $2030 in ads, Ahmed sold $1540, and
Salsk061 [2.6K]
3. (a)

Add the three totals.

Total sales for all three: $2030 + $1540 + $1800 = $5370

Now divide each person's sales by the total sales to find each person's fraction of the sales.

Lola: 2030/5370
Ahmed: 1540/5370
Tommy: 1800/5370

3. (b)

Multiply each fraction from part (a) by $100.

Lola: 2030/5370 * $100 = $37.80
Ahmed: 1540/5370 = $28.67
Tommy: 1800/5370 = $33.52

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

y = 4.125x + 496.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the data up as points. Then deal with the points.

Givens

(30,620)

(70,785)

y2 = 785

y1 = 620

x2 = 70

x1 = 30

Formula

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Solution

Slope = (785 - 620)/(70 - 30)

Slope = 165 / 40

Slope = 4.125

===================

Now you need the y intercept. Either one of the two given points will give you that.

y = 620

x = 30

m = 4.125

y = mx + b

620 = 4.125*30 + b

620 = 123.75 + b

620 - 123.75 + b

b = 496.25

Answer:

C) 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is shown in the attachment.

Using the Pythagoras Theorem,

x^2=4^2+4^2

x^2=16+16

x^2=32

We take positive square root to obtain

x=\sqrt{32}

x=4\sqrt{2}

x=5.66ft

Rounding to the nearest feet we have x=6ft
