Answer:

He sold 100 rackets for $ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we have to make 2 equations, one that represents the number of rackets and the other the money

x + y = 500

x * 20 + y * 45 = 20000

we clear x in the first equation

x + y = 500

x = 500 - y

we replace x in the second equation with (500 - y)

x * 20 + y * 45 = 20000

(500 - y) * 20 + y * 45 = 20000

10000 - 20y + 45y = 20000

-20y + 45y = 20000 - 10000

25y = 10000

y = 10000/25

y = 400

we replace x in the first equation with the value obtained

x = 500 - y

x = 500 - 400

x = 100

Answer: they sold 100 racquets at $20 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of tennis racquets that were sold at $20 each.

Let y represent the number of tennis racquets that were sold at $45 each.

A dealer sold 500 tennis racquets some were sold at $20 each and the rest were sold at $45 each. It means that

x + y = 500

The total receipts from these sales were $20000. This means that

20x + 45y = 20000- - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 500 - y into equation 1, it becomes

20(500 - y) + 45y = 20000

10000 - 20y + 45y = 20000

- 20y + 45y = 20000 - 10000

25y = 10000

y = 10000/25

y = 400

x = 500 - 400

x = 100

What is the greatest common factor of 40 and 27?
Olenka [21]

To find the greatest common factor of 40 and 27, we can first start by making a list of factors for each number.

The factors of 27 are: 1, 3, 9, 27

The factors of 40 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

When looking at these numbers, we can see that 1 is the greatest common factor of both 40 and 27.

Whixh statement is true about the graphs of the functions shown below?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since G(0) = g(0) = 20, the parabolic graphs of these functions share a y-intercept:  (0, 20).

Completing the square puts these equations into vertex form, which simplifies comparisons of the graphs:

G(x) = 2x^2 - 12x + 20 becomes

          2(x^2 - 6x + 9 - 9) + 20, or

          2(x - 3)^2 - 18 + 20, or 2(x - 3)^2 + 2.  Comparing this result to

          a(x - h)^2 + k, we see that the vertex is located at (3, 2).

Going through the same process for g(x) 2x^2+12x+20, we get:

g(x) = 2(x + 3)^2 + 2, whose vertex is at (-3, 2).

Next time, please include ALL info pertaining to your question, including the set of possible answer choices.  Thank you.
