Answer: 88 cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

price of a cone = $1.10

price of a sundae = $2.35

A total of 172 cones and sundaes were sold for $294.20

Then we can define two variables:

C = number of cones sold

S = number of sundaes sold.

C + S = 172 (the total number of sundaes and cones sold is 172)

C*$1.10 + S*$2.35 = $294.20  (that is how much the won).

Then we have the system of equations:

C + S = 172

C*$1.10 + S*$2.35 = $294.20

And we want to find how many cones were sold.

To solve this, we first need to isolate the other variable, S, in one of the equations, i will isolate S in the first equation:

S = 172 - C

Now, let's replace this in the second equation:

C*$1.10 + (172 - C)*$2.35 = $294.20

Now we can solve this for C, and find the number of cones that were sold.

C*$1.10 + $404.20 - C*$2.35 = $294.20

C*($1.10 - $2.35) = $294.20 - $404.20

-C*1.25 = -110

C = 110/1.25 = 88

88 cones were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

These two events are dependent.  When the ball is set aside, there are fewer balls  to draw from, so the probability of getting a certain ball becomes greater.

2 planes fly in opposite directions. One travels 475 mi/h and the other 525 mi/h . How long will it take before they are 6,000 m
pychu [463]
The speed at which they are moving apart = 475 + 525 = 1000 mi/h

Time  = distance / speed
         = 6000 / 1000  = 6 hours

The answer is 6 hours.

Pls help I’m so confused

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, look for the hypotenuse (diagonal) of the base of the box. We have the two legs: 13 inches and 35 inches.

Set up an equation using the Pythagorean theorem:

13^2+35^2=C^2

Solve for C:

169 + 1225 = C^2

1394 = C^2

C ≈ 37.34

Now that we have the diagonal of the base, we know can move on to find the value of the interior diagonal. We have two legs: 13 inches and 37.34 inches.

Again, set up an equation using the Pythagorean theorem, and solve for the new C:

13^2+37.34^2=C^2

1563.2756 = C^2

C = 39.54

The interior diagonal of the box is approximately 39.54 inches long, which is longer than Kylie's baton, which is 38 inches long. So, she can fit the baton in the box.

Have a nice day! :)
