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

SOMEONE PLS HELP :( I WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST!!!
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

x -3y = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line m = (0 -1 )/(-3 - 0) = 1/3

y - intercept b = 1

Equation of line in slope-intercept form is given as:

y = mx + b

Plugging m = 1/3 and b = 1 in the above equation, we find:

y = 1/3 x + 1

-> 3y = x + 3

-> x -3y = - 3

This is the required equation of line.

How can I calculate if a given decimal is rational or irrational. please help I forgot.
dalvyx [7]
Well, a rational decimal is like a simple 3.1 or 4.5. It just cuts off easily. Another example would be a repeating decimal like 3.333333...


An irrational decimal is like 3.1415682983523576294875 with no pattern or cutoff point.


Sorry if I am wrong.
