Answer:

6 chairs

8 desks

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we assume that all 14 items he bought were chairs, if that was to be true then the office manager would spend...

125 x 14 = 1750$

We see that he spent less then he should have so now we start to substitute desks instead of chairs, and we have to keep in mind that if we change 1 chair to a desk then the total will increase by...

515 - 125 = 390$

Now we just find the difference between the needed total and the total that we get if the office manager would by only chairs and then divide the result by 390 in order to find the number of desks, and so we get...

(4870 - 1750) / 390 = 3120 / 390 = 8 desks

And now that we know the number of desks we just subtract the number of desks from 14 and get the number of chairs, and so...

14 - 8 = 6 chairs

Melinda and Marcus are saving money to purchase a present for a friend. Each friend starts with an amount and also saves a speci

Goshia [24]

Let's find the rates at which Melinda and Marcus are saving money and compare them.
Based on the table, we can see that Melinda originally had $75. Then she got $135 in 5 weeks. So the rate of saving money is (135–75)/5 = $12 per week.
This rate is unchanged for the next weeks. As we can see, she got $195 in the next 5 weeks. So she saved $60 more those 5 weeks, or the rate is $60/5 = $12 per week again.

So Melinda saved $12 per week.
As for Marcus, the equation tells us that the rate of saving money is $14 which is the coefficient in front of x.

Hence, t<span>he rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is 2$
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.</span>

What is the value of x in the figure shown below

lesya [120]

Answer:

x = 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

These triangles are perfectly symetrical. This is shown by the length of sides given in the problem. Since the triangle is symetrical, E is equal to B just as D is equal to C. Since B is 30 degrees, we can tell that E is also 30 degree.

given cos θ= √35/6 and angle θ is in Quadrant I, what is the exact value of sin θ in simplest form? Simplify all radicals if nee

joja [24]

Here, I've attached a picture of the triangle that accompanies this explanation.

cot = = =

Now view the triangle.

PS. Angle theta will have a coordinate of (-, +) because it is in quadrant II.

sin of the angle would be opposite/hypotenuse, so sin =

cos of the angle would be adjacent/hypotenuse, so cos =

tan of the angle would be opposite/adjacent, so tan =
