Answer:

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

So you're given that 1 cookie is sold for $3 and 1 muffin is sold for $7

You're also given that in total you made $129, and sold 27 items

Let's make equations from that, letting c stand for amount of cookies and m for amount of muffins.

  • 3c + 7m = 129 (equation for amount of money made)
  • c + m = 27 (equation for amount of items sold)

Now we can use the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

m = 27 - c

Not we can substitute m into the first equation to find c:

3c + 7m = 129                  

3c + 7(27-c) = 129            [substitute m for (27-c)]

3c + 189 -7c = 129           [distribute 7 into (27-c)]

-4c + 189 = 129                [combine like terms]

-4c = -60                          [subtract 189 from both sides]

c = 15                               [divide both sides by -4]

Now we can substitute c into the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

15 + m = 27

m = 12

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins.

c - cookies
m - muffins

c + m = 27

3c + 7m = 129

I don’t know how to explain how to do efficiently but I just plugged in numbers until it worked:

3(15) + 7(12) = 129

45 + 84 = 129

Can somebody help me with this question
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
What you need to do is find the greatest amount (1) and the lowest amount (1/4) of sap collected and the find how many times the lowest can go into the greatest. (So how many times can 1/4 go into 1). I believe that this is how you would do that.

A cylindrical can without a top is made to contain 25 3 cm of liquid. What are the dimensions of the can that will minimize the
Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the radius of the can is 1.71 cm and height of the can is 2.72 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the volume of cylindrical can with out top is 25 cm³.

Consider the height of the can be h and radius be r.

The volume of the can is V= \pi r^2h

According to the problem,

\pi r^2 h=25

\Rightarrow h=\frac{25}{\pi r^2}

The surface area of the base of the can is = \pi r^2

The metal for the bottom will cost $2.00 per cm²

The metal cost for the base is =$(2.00× \pi r^2)

The lateral surface area of the can is = 2\pi rh

The metal for the side will cost $1.25 per cm²

The metal cost for the base is =$(1.25× 2\pi rh)

                                                 =\$2.5 \pi r h

Total cost of metal is C= 2.00 \pi r^2+2.5 \pi r h

Putting h=\frac{25}{\pi r^2}

\therefore C=2\pi r^2+2.5 \pi r \times \frac{25}{\pi r^2}

\Rightarrow C=2\pi r^2+ \frac{62.5}{ r}

Differentiating with respect to r

C'=4\pi r- \frac{62.5}{ r^2}

Again differentiating with respect to r

C''=4\pi + \frac{125}{ r^3}

To find the minimize cost, we set C'=0

4\pi r- \frac{62.5}{ r^2}=0

\Rightarrow 4\pi r=\frac{62.5}{ r^2}

\Rightarrow  r^3=\frac{62.5}{ 4\pi}

⇒r=1.71

Now,

\left C''\right|_{x=1.71}=4\pi +\frac{125}{1.71^3}>0

When r=1.71 cm, the metal cost will be minimum.

Therefore,

h=\frac{25}{\pi\times 1.71^2}

⇒h=2.72 cm

Therefore the radius of the can is 1.71 cm and height of the can is 2.72 cm.
