Answer:

D.$3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

12-ounce cup = x

16-ounce cup = y

A customer orders a round of coffee for her friends.

If she orders two 12-ounce cups and one 16-ounce cup, she will owe the coffee shop $10.75.

Hence:

2x + y = 10.75.....Equation 1

y = 10.75 - 2x

If she orders one 12-ounce cup and two 16-ounce cups, she will owe the coffee shop $11.30.

Hence:

x + 2y = 11.30.....Equation 2

We substitute 10.75 -2x for y in Equation 2

x + 2(10.75 - 2x) = 11.30

x + 21.50 - 4x = 11.30

Collect like terms

x - 4x = 11.30 - 21.50

-3x = -10.20

x = -10.20/-3

x = $3.40

Solving for y

y = 10.75 - 2x

y = 10.75 - 2($3.40)

y = 10.75 - 6.8

y = $3.95

Therefore , 16-ounce cup is represented by y, the cost for a 16-ounce cup of coffee is $3.95

Option D is correct

Solve for x. The number that is cut off is 14. Suppose that both figures are similar.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Since both rectangles are similar, the following ratio must be fulfilled:

\frac{x+9}{14}=\frac{9}{6}

By multiplying both sides by 14, we get

\begin{gathered} x+9=\frac{9\times14}{6} \\ x+9=21 \end{gathered}

and by subtracting 9 to both sides, we have

x=12

Therefore, the answer is 12.

A manufacturer produces cherry, peppermint, cinnamon, and orange-flavored gum. Each flavor is available with sugar or sugar-free
Semenov [28]

Answer: The total number of different types of labels will the manufacturers have to produce = 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Choices for flavours = 4

Choices for sugar = 2  {either sugar or sugar free}

Choices for the qunatity = 3

By Fundamental counting principle,

Total number of different types of labels will have to produce = (Choices for flavors) x (Choices for sugar)x (Choices for the quantity )

= 4 x  2x 3

=24

Hence, the total number of different types of labels will the manufacturers have to produce = 24.

Classify the polygons as regular or irregular, and concave or convex. HELP ASAP!! TWO PICTURES!!
mylen [45]

Answer:

First figure is regular and convex.

Second figure is irregular and convex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given 2 polygons we have to classify these whether these are convex, concave, regular and irregular.

Regular Polygon is the polygon which have all sides and all angles equal.

Convex Polygon is the polygon in which measure of all interior angles less than 180° and if measure of each of interior angle greater than 180° then it is concave.

In the first figure, all sides are equal therefore and each of interior angle of polygon is less than 180°. Hence, the polygon is regular and convex.

In the second figure, all sides are not equal  and each of interior angle of polygon is less than 180°. Hence, the polygon is irregular and convex.
