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

A) In a group of 60 students, 15 liked maths only, 20 liked science only and 5 did not like
Paladinen [302]

Part (i)

We have 60 students total, and 5 didn't like any of the two subjects, so that must mean 60-5 = 55 students liked at least one subject.

<h3>Answer: 55</h3>

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

Part (ii)

We have 15 who like math only, 20 who like science only, and 55 who like either (or both). Let x be the number of people who like both classes.

We can then say

15+20+x = 55

x+35 = 55

x = 55-35

x = 20

This means 20 people liked both subjects

<h3>Answer: 20</h3>

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

Part (iii)

There are 15 people who like math only, and 20 who like both. Therefore, there are 15+20 = 35 people who like math (and some of these people also like science)

<h3>Answer: 35</h3>

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

Part (iv)

We'll follow the same idea as the previous part. There are 20 people who like science only and 20 who like both subjects. That yields 40 people total who like science (and some of these people also like math).

<h3>Answer: 40</h3>

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

Part (v)

We'll draw a rectangle to represent the entire group of 60 students. This is considered the universal set. Inside the rectangle will be two overlapping circles to represent math (M) and science (S).

We'll have 15 go in circle M, but outside circle S to represent the 15 people who like math only. Then we have 20 go in circle S but outside circle M to show the 20 people who like science only. We have another copy of 20 go in the overlapped region between the circles. This is the 20 people who like both classes. And finally, we have 5 go outside both circles, but inside the rectangle. These are the 5 people who don't like either subject.

Note how all of the values in the diagram add up to 60

15+20+20+5 = 60

This helps confirm we have the correct values.
