Answer:

20 apples, 32 pears

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a for number of apples and p for number of pears, you get a+p=52 (amount) and 0.4a+0.5p=24 (cost).

One way of solving simultaneous equations is using like terms and adding/subtracting them to remove a variable. There aren't any like terms here, but we can create some by multiplying terms.

Multiplying the second equation by 2 gives 0.8a+p=48, so that makes a like term.

Since the symbols are the same in front of the like term, we subtract the second term from the first one. This gives 0.2a=4.

Dividing by 0.2 gives a=20.

We can sub this into either equation to get the value of p.

a+p=52, so 20+p=52, meaning p=32.

a rectangular prism has a volume of 4,212 cubic yards, width 2 yards, and length 27 yards find it’s height in yards
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

height = 78 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Formula</u>

Volume of a rectangular prism = width × length × height

Given:

  • volume = 4,212 yd³
  • width = 2 yd
  • length = 27 yd

Substituting given values into the formula and solving for height:

⇒ 4212 = 2 × 27 × height

⇒ 4212 = 54 × height

⇒ height = 4212 ÷ 54

⇒ height = 78 yd

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

dilation with a scale factor of 1/3 means the distances to the center shrink by 1/3

so for center (4,-2)

distance of (7,4) is 3 n 6 to center

1/3 of distance = 1 n 2

so (7,4) become (4+1, -2+2) = (5, 0) after the dilation


similarly u can find the other 2 pts

distance of (-2,4) is -6 n 6 to center

1/3 of distance = -2 n 2

so (-2,4) become (4-2, -2+2) = (2, 0) after the dilation


distance of (1, 10) is -3 n 12 to center

1/3 of distance = -1 n 4

so (1,10) become (4-1, -2+4) = (3, 2) after the dilation

Kevin works for a company which produces printers. A printer sells for $163.95 and costs $48.28 to produce. In one month, Kevin’
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Option D $26,792

Step-by-step explanation:

When producing 427 printers, the cost of production is 427*$48.28=$20,615.56

When selling each printer, profit per printer is $163.95 - $48.28= $115.67

Total money after selling the 427 printers is 427*$163.95 =$70006.65

Subtracting cost of production from value of sales we deduce

$70006.65-$20,615.56=$49391.09

Non-profit overhead expenses will be the difference between the expected profit and the actual profit earned

$49391.09 -$22,599.09.=$26,792

Therefore, option D, $26,792 is the right choice
