Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 985

2.95x + 9.95y = 7343.75

-2.95x - 2.95y = -2905.75

7y = 4438

y= 634 steak sandwiches

x + 634 = 985

x = 351 hot dogs

Answer:

634 steak sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

h = hot dogs

s = steak sandwiches

First, lets make 2 equations.

2.95h + 9.95s = 7343.75

h + s = 985

We can make the second equation h = 985 - s

Now substitute h into the first equation.

2.95(985 - s) + 9.95s = 7343.75

Distribute the 2.95

2905.75 - 2.95s + 9.95s = 7343.75

Simplify s

2905.75 + 7s = 7343.75

Subtract 2905.75 from both sides

7s = 4438

s = 634

If h = 985 - s and s = 634 we can find h by subtracting 634 from 985

985 - 634 = 351

Now to check:

351 times 2.95 = 1035.45

634 times 9.95 = 6308.3

6308.3 + 1035.45 = 7343.75 so that means our answer is correct.

Hope this helps!!

Which is the rate of change for the interval between 2 and 6 on the x-axis?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you misses attaching the photo, so please have a look at my photo for your better understanding.

We know the formula for rate of change of the  parabola line:

\frac{f(b)- f(a)}{b-a}

Given here:

a= 2 => f(a) = 2

b=6 => f(b) = 2

Substitute all the values into the function, we have:

\frac{14-2}{6-2} = 3

So the rate of change is 3

2. Suppose you pay $21 for a pair of shoes that was originally $30. What was the percent of decrease in price for the shoes? Set
boyakko [2]
30$ originally - 21$ paid = 9$ discount

> divide the discount by the original price, multiply by 100 to get the percent decrease.

100 x (9$ / 30$) = 30% discount
> So the shoes where on sale for 30% off the original price.

for the equation:
100 x (30-21)/30 = % decrease
