Answer:

3 peanut cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Plate 1:

Number of chocolate chip = 4

Number of peanut butter cookies = 1

Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :

Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5

Plate 2:

Number of chocolate chip = 2

Number of peanut butter cookies = p

P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)

Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25

(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25

8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25

8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25

80 + 40p = 200

40p = 200 - 80

40p = 120

p = 3

Answer:

D. It would be less steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

→When the absolute value of the number in front of x is greater than 1, the function on the graph narrows. When the absolute value of the number in front of x is less than 1, the function on the graph widens.

<u>In this case, the number is less than 1, making it grow wider. And as a result of it growing wider, it also becomes less steep.</u>

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of hours to pull weed in a day

Let y = number of hours to now lawn in a day

It takes her an average of 3 hours to pull weeds and an average of 2.5 hours to mow the lawn. She can work no more than 8 hours a day.

This means

3x + 2.5y is lesser than/ equal to 8

She charges $50 to weed and $65 to mow the lawn.

This means she charges

50x +65y

She needs to cover her expenses of $120 to make a profit. This means she needs to earn an amount greater than or equal to $120

50x + 65y greater than or equal to 120
