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!!

Daniel works at an electronics store, and he claims that the popularity of a television (measured in number of sales) is inverse
Rom4ik [11]

We are given that popularity of television is inversely proportional to its cost.

let us say popularity of television is represented by "P" and cost of television by "T".

We will use a constant "k" to convert the proportionality sign to equal to (=) sign.

Thus forming the equation :

P= \frac{k}{T}

We are given that 15 customers buy a television that cost $1500.

plugging P=15 and T=1500, finding k,

15= \frac{k}{1500}

k=15*1500 = 22500

Next we have to find how many customers would buy a television that costs $2500, so here k=22500 and T=2500, plugging this in the equation we have ,

P= \frac{22500}{2500}

P=9

So there will be 9 customers that buy a television which costs $2500.

R=-1/800(x^2-2400x)
use R'=0
R'=1/400x-300, 1/400x=300 => x=1200 critical point
take R(1200), we know its max bcuz of the orientation of R

Now, from the table we see the percentages that preffered each seafood.

Percentage that preferred Shrimp = 24%

Percentage that preferred Crab = 30%

Percentage that preferred Fish = 36%

You drive 70 miles per hour but then slow your speed by 15 miles per hour. You then return to your speed of 70 miles per hour. W
denis23 [38]
Driving 70 miles per hour.
Slow your speed means decrease in speed=
70+(-15)=70-15=55 miles/ hr
And then return to speed of 70 miles/hr means
add 15 miles to the speed.
We get
70+(-15)+15 =70 miles / hr
