Given :

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business.

The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes.

Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether.

Find :

Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

Calculations :

Let "S" be small boxes and "L" be large boxes.

Small box + Large box = 19

50S + 80L = 1280

→ 5S + 8L = 128

→ 5 (19 - L) + 8L = 128

→ 3L = 128 - 95

→ L = 33/3

→ L = 11ㅤㅤ

Finding the small box:

→ S = 19 - L

→ S = 19 - 11

→ S = 8

Therefore ,

Large boxes = 11.

Small boxes = 8.

orrrrrr

The number of small boxes is 8 and that of the large boxes is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper

weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether.

Let there are x small boxes and y large boxes.

Then,

x + y = 19 ............ (1) and

50x + 80y = 1280

⇒ 5x + 8y = 128 ............... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

5( 19 - y) + 8y = 128

⇒ 3y = 128 - 95 = 33

⇒ y = 11

Now, from equation (1) we get, x = 19 - y = 19 - 11 = 8

Therefore, the number of small boxes is 8 and that of the large boxes is 11. (Answer)

determine the base, b, of the exponential model. Is the base a growth or decay factor? a. b is 0.6394; It is a growth factor. b.
Kazeer [188]
An exponential model can be described by the function
f(x) = a(b)^x
where: a is the initial population or the starting number, b is the base and x is the number of periods elapsed.

When the base of an exponential model is greater than 1 it is called a growth factor, but when it is less than 1 it is called a decay factor.

Given the exponential model
n=20.5(0.6394)^t
n is the final output of the exponential model, 20.5 is the starting number, 0.6394 is the base and t is the number of periods/time elapsed.

Here, the base is 0.6394 which is less than 1, hence a decay factor.

Therefore, <span>the base, b, of the exponential model is 0.6394; It is a decay factor.</span>

What's 0.875 as a fraction in simplest form
zhenek [66]
0.875=\dfrac{875}{1000}=\dfrac{875:25}{1000:25}=\dfrac{35:5}{40:5}=\boxed{\frac{7}{8}}

The population of a small town in 1990 was 1,200 people, and the population in 2000 was 2,700 people. Let x represent the number
zheka24 [161]
Well... looking at how to question is defining things.....i think this is a multiple choice question.....

Given:
"y" represents the population
"x" represents the number of years
duration = 2000 - 1990 = 10 years
population increase = 2700 - 1200 = 1500
Now,
<u></u><u>It says linear equation........</u><u>, So, we have to assume that every ten years the population increases by a fixed </u><u>amount that is 1500 people every 10 years.</u><u />

Now, 
Every 10 years, the population increases by 1500
Every 1 year , the population increases by 1500 / 10 
                                                               = 150

Now,
The equation in determining the population is:

y = 150x + 1200
