the number of buses is 3

the number of cars is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of the students=165

total number of the vehicles=9

let x represent the number of cars

let y represent the number of buses

x+y=9...........equation 1

(the number of the cars plus the number of the buses= to the number of vehicles )

5x + 45y=165.......equation 2

(the number of student the car can hold plus the number of student the bus can hold= to the total number of the student in a class)

x+y=9.......eqn 1

5x +45y=165....eqn 2

make x the subject of the formula in eqn 1

x+y=9

x= 9-y

substitute for x= 9-y in eqn 2

5(9-y)+45y=165

45-5y+45y=165

-5y+45y=165-45

40y=120

divide both sides by 40

40y÷40=120÷40

y=3

since y represent number of buses,the numbet of bus is 3

Also,substitute for y=3 in eqn 1

eqn 1 is x+y=9

x+3=9

x=9-3

x=6

therefore,the number of cars is 6.

Question 10 (7 points) d Elizabeth borrowed $20,000 for five years at a 5% annual interest rate, what is her monthly payment, to

zhenek [66]

Answer:

monthly payment is $377

C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the monthly payment is given by

$C=\frac{Prt(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}$

Given that,

P = $20,000

n = 5 years = 60 months

r = 0.05

Substituting these values in the formula

$C=\frac{20000\cdot \frac{0.05}{12}(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{60}}{(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{60}-1}$

On simplifying, we get

$C=\$377.425\\\\C\approx \$377$

Therefore, the monthly payment is $377

C is the correct option.

Goshia [24]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that in a game a player draws and replaces a card from a deck 2 times.

The possible outcomes and payouts are given.

We need to determine the expected value for someone playing the game.

<u>Expected value:</u>

The expected value for someone playing the game can be determined by

$EV=(\frac{26}{52})(\$ 20)+(\frac{52}{52})(\$4)+(\frac{52}{52})(\$ 0)+(\frac{26}{52})(-\$12)$

Simplifying the values, we have;

$EV=(\frac{1}{2})(\$ 20)+(1)(\$4)+(1)(\$ 0)+(\frac{1}{2})(-\$12)$

Dividing the terms, we get;

$EV=\$ 10+\$4+\$ 0+-\$6$

Adding, we have;

$EV=\$ 8$

Thus, the expected value for someone playing the game is $8
