Answer:number of cupcakes sold is 13

Number of cookies sold is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Jane sold.

Let y represent the number of cookies that Jane sold.

Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jean had sold $42.75 worth of cookies and cupcakes.

This means that

2.25x + 0.5y = 42.75 - - - - - - - - - -1

she sold 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means that

x + y = 40

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.25(40 - y) + 0.5y = 42.75

90 - 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75

- 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75 - 90

- 1.75y = - 47.25

y = - 47.35/-1.75

y = 27

x = 40 - y

x = 40-27 = 13

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

8 different combinations are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have 2 different combinations for each time.

And the player comes out to bat 3 times.

So, total number of combinations are:

2^{3} i.e. a total of 8 number of times.

Let a hit is termed as 'H' and an out is termed as 'O'.

Total combinations are:

{HHH, HHO, HOH, HOO, OHH, OHO, OOH, OOO}

Kindly have a look at the tree diagram attached in the answer area.

In starting, there are 2 combinations possible, i.e. 'O' and 'H'.

After 'O' , 2 possible i.e. 'O' and 'H'.

After 'H' , 2 possible i.e. 'O' and 'H'.

and so on....

Which of the following sums would be under the radical symbol to find the distance between the points (7, -1) and (-8, -9)?
Alexxandr [17]

Sadly, you didn't put any sums on your list of choices. 
In fact, I can't even find a list of choices !

To find the distance between  (7, -1)  and  (-8, -9),
you would build a sum under a square-root (radical)
symbol, and it would look something like this:

               √ ( 225 + 64 ) .

What is the three hundred and twenty six to the nearest ten
uysha [10]

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

330

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

We are rounding the number 326 to the nearest tens.

The '2' is in the tens place, and the '6' is to the right of the digit.

Since the '6' is greater than or equal to 5, then we would round up.

326 ≈ 330

⸻⸻⸻⸻

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
