Pixel goes shopping with one hundred dollars and ends up buying three different types of items: A, B, and C. The unit price of A

is five dollars, B is 25 cents, and C is five cents. Pixel comes home and finds that all the money had been spent, but discovers that the total number of items is exactly equal to100. How many items of each kind did Pixel buy? No fractions allowed. (Spend exactly 100 dollars and buy a total of 100 items)

Answer:

A - 16, B - 79, C - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

A costs 5$
B costs $0.25
C costs $0.05
A + B + C = 100
5A + 0.25B + 0.05C = 100 ⇒ 100A + 5B + C = 2000

<u>Subtract the first equation from the second:</u>

99A + 4B = 1900

<u>We have a restriction in numbers:</u>

0 < A, B, C < 100

<u>Since 4B can be max 400, we get 99A > 1500 and 99A < 1900 so:</u>

A > 1500/99 > 15

and

A < 1900/99 < 19

A can be 16 or 18 as it should be even number to get B the whole number.

<u>If A = 16:</u>

99*16 + 4B = 1900
4B = 1900 - 1584
4B = 316
B = 316/4 = 79

<u>If A = 18:</u>

99*18 + 4B = 1900
4B = 1900 - 1782
4B = 118
B = 118/4 = 29.5, discarded as decimal

<u>So we get:</u>

A = 16, B = 79 and C = 100 - (16 + 79) = 5

<u>Let's proof the numbers:</u>

16*5 + 79*0.25 + 5*0.05 = 100, confirmed

A napkin is folded into an isosceles triangle, triangle ABC, and placed on a plate, as shown. The napkin has a perimeter of 38 c

gavmur [86]

The area of plate which is covered by the napkin is equal to the area of folded napkin.

Before finding the area of folded napkin, we should find the dimension of the napkin.
Find the length of the leg side, the two leg has similar length.
perimeter = 38
l + l + 8 = 38
2l + 8 = 38
2l = 30
l = 15
Each leg is 15 cm long.

Find the area of folded napkin
area = 1/2 × s × s × sin of angle between the sides
area = 1/2 × 15 × 15 × sin 30°
area = 1/2 × 15 × 15 × 1/2
area = 225/4
area = 56.25
to the nearest whole number >> 56 cm²
The answer is third option

Which of the following is a solution to the following system of inequalities?

iren2701 [21]

Option D: $(0,3)$ is the solution to the inequalities.

Explanation:

From the given graph, we can see that the equation of the inequalities are

$y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$

To determine the coordinate that satisfies the inequality, let us substitute the coordinates in both of the inequalities $y>-x+1$ and $$y$

Thus, we have,

Option A: $(1,-1)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies-1>0$ is not true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies -1\leq 5$ is true.

Since, only one equation satisfies the condition, the coordinate $(1,-1)$ is not a solution.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: $(-4,0)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies0>5$ is not true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies 0\leq -5$ is not true.

Since, both the equations does not satisfy the condition, the coordinate $(-4,0)$ is not a solution.

Hence, Option B is not the correct answer.

Option C: $(3,-2)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies-2>-2$ is not true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies -2\leq 9$ is true.

Since, only one equation satisfies the condition, the coordinate $(3,-2)$ is not a solution.

Hence, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: $(0,3)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies3>1$ is true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies 3\leq 3$ is true.

Since, both equation satisfies the condition, the coordinate $(0,3)$ is a solution.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

What is the cube root of 216x18?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 15.72 or 6 ∛18</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the cube root of 216 * 18

∛(216 * 18)

216 = 8 * 27

8 = 2³; 27 = 3³

18 = 9 * 2 or 3² * 2

∛(8 * 27 * 18)

Simplifying:

∛(2³ * 3³ * 3² * 2)

∛(2³ * 3³ * 3² * 2)

2 * 3 ∛(3² * 2

<u>6 * 2.62 = 15.72 or 6 ∛18</u>
