Allison’s cupcake and cookie budget for her party is $105. She would like to have at least 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, and

would like to have at most 5 more cupcakes than cookies. If cupcakes sell for $2.50 and cookies for $1.50, which system of inequalities could help Allison determine possible numbers of cupcakes (a) and cookies (b) that she should buy? ( a ≥ 0 , b ≥ 0 )

Answer:

a + b ≥ 40

a + 5 ≤ b

2.50a + 1.50b ≤ 105

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told she would like to have at least 40 cupcakes and cookies combined.

If a is number of cupcakes and b is number of cookies, then this inequality is;

a + b ≥ 40

Secondly, we are told she would like to have at most 5 more cupcakes than cookies.

Thus, the inequality is;

a + 5 ≤ b

Lastly, we are told that cupcakes sell for $2.50 and cookies for $1.50

Thus, the inequality is;

2.50a + 1.50b ≤ 105

Finally, the 3 inequalities are;

a + b ≥ 40

a + 5 ≤ b

2.50a + 1.50b ≤ 105

Big Mack buys meat for the family reunion cookout. He needs to buy 11 packagesof meat. A package of hotdogs costs $2.59, and a p
IgorC [24]

Hello!

Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:

• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)

,

• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)

He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:

• x + y = 11

He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:

• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29

Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:

\begin{cases}x+y=11\text{ equation A} \\ 2.59x+5.29y=39.29\text{ equation B}\end{cases}

First, let's isolate x in equation A:

\begin{gathered} x+y=11 \\ x=11-y \end{gathered}

Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:

\begin{gathered} 2.59x+5.29y=39.29 \\ 2.59(11-y)+5.29y=39.29 \\ 28.49-2.59y+5.29y=39.29 \\ -2.59y+5.29y=39.29-28.49 \\ 2.7y=10.8 \\ y=\frac{10.8}{2.7} \\  \\ y=4 \end{gathered}

As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.

A conical-shaped umbrella has a radius of 0.4 m and a height of 0.45 m. Calculate the amount of fabric needed to manufacture thi
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

0.76m²

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the following information.

Radius = 0.4m

Height = 0.45m

To solve this question, The umbrella is CONICAL in shape and it has no BASE, we would be finding the lateral surface area of a cone. Since we are given height and radius :

Lateral Surface Area of a cone =

πr√(h² + r²)

= π × 0.4√(0.45² + 0.4)

= 0.7566m²

≈ Approximately = 0.76m²

Therefore, the amount of fabric needed to manufacture this umbrella is 0.76m²
