Answer: $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the small candy be represented by x.

The medium candy was twice as expensive as the small candy. This will be: = 2×x = 2x

The large candy was $5 more than the medium candy. This will be: = 2x + 5

Since Jason spent a total of $30 on

candy, the cost of the small candy will be:

x + 2x + 2x + 5 = 30

5x + 5 = 30

5x = 30 - 5

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x= 5

The small candy cost $5

Step 1: Define

Point (4, 1.2)

Point (10, 6)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{6-1.2}{10-4}$
Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{4.8}{6}$
Divide: $\displaystyle m=0.8$

Damm [24]

Answer: 242 students do not like football or baseball

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students that were surveyed about their preferences of sports is 412. The Venn diagram is shown in the attached photo.

If 45 students like both sports, then the number of students that like football only would be

115 - 45 = 70

Also, the number of students that like baseball only would be

100 - 45 = 55

The number if students that like at least one of the sports is

70 + 55 + 45 = 170

Therefore, the number of students that do not like football or baseball would be

412 - 170 = 242
