Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

What we already know:

Pizza slices $2.75 - Ice cream cones $2.25 - Tacos $1.75

Total Items sold - 121 / Total amount of money - $260.75/ <u>$87.50 made from selling Tacos</u>

<u>____________________________________</u>

Tacos - 87.5 ÷ 1.75 = 50 Tacos sold -- 121 - 50 = 71 items

& 260.75 - 87.5 = 173.25 left

____________________________________

You can't sell half an Ice-Cream

Ice Cream - 71 - 1 = 70 -- 70 ÷ 2 = 35 -- 35 × 2.25 =

<h3>$78.75 made from Ice-cream cones</h3><h3>35 Ice- cream cones sold</h3><h3>**************************************************</h3>

Pizza slices - 71 - 70 = 1 -- 1 + 35 =

<u>36 Pizza slices sold</u>

36 × 2.75 =

<u>99 dollars made off of Pizza slices</u>

You know that the average college student eats 0.75 pounds of food at lunch. If the standard deviation is 0.2 pounds of food, th

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: $53.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $\mu=0.75$ pounds

$\sigma= 0.2$ pounds

n= 50

Two tailed critical z-value for 90% confidence level = 1.645

Let x be the total amount of food that a cafeteria should have on hand to be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food .

z-score = $\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ $=\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}$

Then, $\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}=1.645$

$x-0.75=1.645\times0.2\\\\\Riightarrow\ x-0.75=0.329\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 0.329+0.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 1.079$

Foe 50 students, total amount of food = 1.079 x 50 = $53.95

hence, the cafeteria should have food of amount $53.95 so that it is be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food.
