Answer:

  • Book -$20/11 and pencil - $17/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the set price of pencil be p and the set price of book be b

<u>Then we have equations:</u>

  • 2p + 6b = 14
  • 4p + 1b = 8

<u>Simplify the first equation:</u>

  • p + 3b = 7

<u>And substitute p in the second equation: p = 7 - 3b</u>

  • 4(7 - 3b) + b = 8
  • 28 - 12b + b = 8
  • 11b = 20
  • b = 20/11

<u>And finding value of p:</u>

  • p = 7 - 3(20/11) = 1/11(77 - 60) = 17/11

Rashid [163]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

30% is equal to .3

40 x .3 equals 12

This means the class has lost 12 students.

40 - 12 is 28.

Another way:

Because the class has lost 30% of it's students, you know that the class is 70% of it's original capacity.

70% is equal to .7

40 x .7 is 28

What does “period” do or mean when graphing a periodic function?
Anton [14]
Hello!

A period of a function like the sin graph or cosine graph are periodic because they repeat themselves on a interval and never end and each interval from trough to trough or peak to peak is called one period. Or another way if looking at it is one period is the time for one complete cycle of motion before it repeats itself.

Hope this helps thanks.
