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.

A jet travels 4680 miles against the wind in eight hours and 5720 miles in the wind in the same amount of time what is the rate
Kryger [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • jet: 650 mph
  • wind: 65 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed against the wind is ...

  4680 mi/(8 h) = 585 mi/h

The speed with the wind is ...

  5720 mi/(8 h) = 715 mi/h

The speed of the airplane in still air is the average of these speeds:

  (585 +715)/2 = 650 mi/h . . . speed in still air

The speed of the wind is the difference between the airplane speed and the speed in the wind:

  715 -650 = 65 mi/h . . . speed of the wind

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If p and 'a' represent the speeds of the plane and the air, the speeds with and against the wind are ...

  p + a = with

  p - a = against

If we average these, we get ...

  ((p +a) +(p -a))/2 = (with + against)/2

  p = (with + against)/2 . . . . . . . the formula we used above

The histogram below shows information about the number of books students read in a month:
ira [324]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This information provides the number of students who read a certain range of books. Those ranges are provided 0 to 4 (inclusive) 5 to 9 and 10-14.

Since 9 books or more covers two bins, this cannot be the answer.

The information doesn't offer specific values just ranges, so both the mean and median cannot be determined.

So the answer is C, the number of students who read 4 books or fewer.
