Answer:

There were 240 more credit card sales than cash sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the ratio 8:3 I was able to determine that if there were 144 cash sales that would mean that there would be 384 credit card sales. However, the question asks "How many <u>more</u> credit card sales were there than cash sales?" Meaning that we need to find the difference. 384-144= 240.

This means that there were 240 <u>more</u> credit card sales than cash sales.

Hope this helped! If you have any questions about what I did please comment!

Have a great day!!

The answer would be 8! This is because there were already five and then Jason got in, so six, and then two friends got in as well, so six plus two is eight!

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

We substitute $(-4,9)$ into the equation to obtain;

$9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c$

$\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)$

We substitute $(0,-7)$ to obtain;

$-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)$

We finally substitute $(1,-1)$ to obtain;

$-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

$9=16a-4b-7$

$16a-4b=16$

$\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7$

$\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)$

We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

$4a+a=6+4$

$\Rightarrow 5a=10$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

We put $a=2$ into equation (5) to get;

$2+b=6$

$\Rightarrow b=6-2$

$\Rightarrow b=4$

The reqiured quadratic function is

$y=2x^2+4x-7$

!!!3 QUESTIONS!!!

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1.) He still owes $100 of debt

2.) 1 rose would be .75 cents and 1 carnation would be .90 cents

3.) C 8 and 3/8

Step by Step explanation

(/ means divided by in the first 2 equations but / in the last question is for the fractions.)

1.) _(1,500 / 3 =500. 1,500 - 500 =1,000 / 5 =200 x 3 =600. 700 - 600 =$100)

2.)_(1.50/2 =.75 cents. 2.70/3 =.90 cents.)

3.) i first added the fractions ( i equalized them) then i added the whole numbers (the u in the equation was to separate the whole num. and fraction )

Before i equalized it: (6u3/4 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)

After i equalized it: (6u6/8 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)
