Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars

Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels

Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold

From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

How is a topic different from a theme?

jek_recluse [69]

Hi!

A topic is just a general thing you discuss, with no true moral ending you take away from it. A theme, on the other hand, wants to communicate a life lesson.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

The ratio of the number of dogs the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue Farm. The number of dogs is 4/5.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<em>Here is the complete question:</em>

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ $c+d=270$ ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}$

⇒ $4c=5d$

⇒ $c=(\frac{5}{4})d$ ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ $c+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5}{4} d+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5d+4d}{4} =270$

⇒ $9d=270\times 4$

⇒ $d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}$

⇒ $d=120$

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

a.

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 150$

⇒ $\frac{4\times 150}{5}$

⇒ $120$

Statement is true.

b.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 270$

⇒ $216$

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

c.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ $c-d =30$

⇒ $150-120=30$

Statement is true.

d.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

e.

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ $\frac{5}{9} \times 270$

⇒ $150$

Statement is true.

So,

Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.

How many three-digit positive integers have three different digits?

olganol [36]

648 is the three-digit positive integers have three different digits

According to the statement

we have given that there are three positive digit number are formed with three distinct digits.

And we have to find that the how many words are formed with distinct numbers.

So, to solve this type of problem the Combination formula is best.

Because it provides the all possibilities that from how many ways numbers are formed.

So, from a combination formula

here we take 9 two times because first time when we let a number then remaining numbers are 9. and second time remaining numbers are also 9 because we let the distinct number but for third number there will be a probability that choosing number will be same.

So, Three digit positive number become from 9*9*8 =648

So, 648 is the three-digit positive integers have three different digits.
