We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream
Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50
3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Range is defined as the greatest possible number minus the lowest possible number. The highest is 150 (in thousands) and the lowest is 25, meaning the range would be 125,000 and not 150,000.
Hope this helps!
The question is asking to determine the dimension of a rectangular solid with a maximum volume if its surface area is 337.5 square centimeters and base on my further computation, I would say that the answer would be x= sqrt 56.25 and y = 7.5 and having a maximum volume of 421.875. I hope this would help
Area= Length* Width
⇒ 12 ft^2= 5 ft* Width
⇒ Width= 12 ft^2/ 5 ft
⇒ Width= 2.4 ft
The width is 2.4 ft~
Answer: 2/3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 8 inches would be equal to 8/12 of a foot. We can divide the numerator and the denominator by 4.
8/12 = 2/3 feet
