Answer:

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of candy bars ready to sell

y be the number of chips ready to sell

According to given statement;

x+y=575     Eqn 1

x+0.5y= 500     Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x+y)-(x+0.5y)=575-500

x+y-x-0.5y=75

0.5y = 75

Dividing both sides by 0.5

\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{75}{0.5}\\y=150

Putting y=150 in Eqn 1

x+150 = 575

x = 575-150

x = 425

Hence,

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Which best describes the meaning of the statement if A then B
Oliga [24]

Answer:

a => b   \equiv   ( \neg a   \ \lor   \ b )

Step-by-step explanation:

You can understand the statement from many perspectives, but in terms of proposition logic it is best to understand it as   "negation of a" or "  b" in mathematical terms is written like this

a => b   \equiv   ( \neg a   \ \lor   \ b )

You can show that they are logically equivalent because they have the same truth table.
