Answer:

  • Small cups were 98
  • Large cups were 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley sold small cups of lemonade for $1.25 and;

Large cups of lemonade for $2.50

The total number of cups = 155 cups

Total sales = $265

Let number of small cups sold be (s) and a number of large cups sold be (l)

This forms a simultaneous equation below:

s + l = 155 ... (i)

1.25s + 2.5l = 265 ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by 1.25 and (ii) by 1 we get:

1.25s + 1.25l = 193.75 ... (i)

1.25s + 2.5l = 265 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get:

0s + 1.25l = 71.25

1.25l = 71.25

l = 71.25 ÷ 1.25 = 57

So the number of large cups = 57 and;

the number of small cups = 155 - 57 = 98

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

ley y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = \frac{1}{x+5} - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

y + 1 = \frac{1}{x+5} ( multiply both sides by (x + 5)

(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ← expand factors using FOIL

xy + 5y + x + 5 = 1 , that is

xy + x + 5y + 5 = 1 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms on left side )

x(y + 1) + 5(y + 1) = 1 ← factor out (y + 1) from each term on left side

(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ( divide both sides by (y + 1) )

x + 5 = \frac{1}{y+1} ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = \frac{1}{y+1} - 5

Change y back into terms of x with x = f^{-1} (x) , then

f^{-1} (x) = \frac{1}{x+1} - 5 where x ≠ - 1

Can you help me with this question?
Troyanec [42]
Assuming you are focusing on the square only, then the answer is 9 inches.

You take the square root of 81 to get 9. Notice how 9^2 = 9*9 = 81. So if you're not familiar with square roots, then think backwards in a sense to get the answer.
