Answer:

80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y

so

12x+9y=2544------------------1

x+y= 232------------------------2

from 2

x= 232-y

substitute the value of x in 1

12(232-y)+9y=2544

2784-12y+9y=2544

2784-3y=2544

3y= 2784-2544

3y=240

y= 240/3

y=80

put y= 80 in 2

x+80= 232

x= 232-80

x=152

Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<em>Net price: $4972.50</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

We know a ream of paper has a list price of $25.50. Custom Greetings placed an order for 300 of them. If they have purchased them at list price, the total price would have been

300*25.50=$7,650

But we also know there was a 35% trade discount, so the net price of their order is

$7,650-$7,650*35/100=$4972.50

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Suppose that we have two line segments, AB and CD. We know that they have the same length.

I know that AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ means AB is identical to CD (aka. They are the same lines), and also that AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ means that AB and CD have the same size, but what does AB=CD mean?

1. What does it mean that Nikoleta is in the 10th percentile for length and weight? Is that a desirable statistic if she was in
VladimirAG [237]

Explanation:

1. It means that Nikoleta is longer and heavier than 10% of children her age.

2. We generally expect that a change from being in the 50th percentile to the 10th percentile signifies a condition that is interfering with normal growth. That is not usually considered desirable.

write the equation of the parabola and a vertex form and standard form given the following information​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

(9)

Here (h, k) = (3, - 2), thus

y = a(x - 3)² - 2

To find a substitute (2, 3) into the equation

3 = a(2 - 3)² - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

5 = a(- 1)² = a , then

y = 5(x - 3)² - 2 ← in vertex form

y = 5(x² - 6x + 9) - 2

   = 5x² - 30x + 45 - 2

y = 5x² - 30x + 43 ← in standard form

(10)

Here (h, k) = (2, - 5), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 5

To find a substitute (5, 4) into the equation

4 = a(5 - 2)² - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

9 = a(- 3)² = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 1

y = (x - 2)² - 5 ← in vertex form

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 5

y = x² - 4x - 1 ← in standard form
