Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs $3.25. Then, he wants to buy as many pancakes as he can, but he wants his bill to be at most $30 before tax. The restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 4 pancakes for $5.50 . Let S represent the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys. What is the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford?

Given:

Cost of chocolate milk = $3.25

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants before tax = $30

Cost of stack of 4 pancakes = $5.50

Let S be the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys

Solution:

Cost per stack of pancakes = $5.50  

Cost of S number of stacks of pancakes = S*5.50  = 5.50 S

So benjamin will spend money on 1 chocolate milk and S number of stacks of pancakes

Compute the total money spent by Benjamin:

Cost of chocolate milk + cost per stack of pancakes = 3.25 + 5.50 S

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants is $30 So,

The total money should be less than equal to the maximum bill that benjamin wants i.e. less than or equal to 30. So it is represented as:

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30  ----- (1)

Now using (1) we can find the largest number of pancakes that  Benjamin can afford :

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30

5.50S ≤ 30 - 3.25    

subtract 3.25 from 30

5.50S ≤ 26.75

Divide by 5.50

S ≤ 4.863636

S ≤ 4.86

S≤ 4 approx

Since the restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 4 pancakes so,

4 stacks = 4 *4 =  16

So the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford are 16.

If we do not round off the the value stacks then we get:

4.86 stacks = 4.86 *4 =  19.44 pancakes

So the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford are 19

Points A, B, and C are collinear, and B lies
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

BC = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three points are collinear, it means they lie on the same straight line.

Now B lies between A and C

By mathematical convention;

AC = AB + BC

This means;

48 = 2x + 2 + 3x + 6

48 = 5x + 8

48-8 = 5x

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

From the question BC = 3x + 6

Substitute the value of x; 3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30

Twenty-five bakery customers were surveyed to determine if they like cake or pie. The results are shown in the Venn diagram. Cir
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Probability = 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the Venn diagram is not given in the question, the question is incomplete. I've attached the Venn diagram of this question below for a better understanding of the question and its solution.

In the Venn diagram we can see that

Costumers who like Cake = 10

Costumers who like Pie = 8

Costumers who like both = 4

So it means that

Total costumers who like Cake = 10 + 4 = 14

Total costumers who like Pie = 8 + 4 = 12

We have to find probabilty that a costumer who likes cakes also likes pie

So

Total costumers who like cake = 14

Costumers out of 14 who also like pie = 4

Probability = (No. of costumers who also like pie) / (Total costumers who like cake)

Probability = 4/14 = 2/7
