Answer:

soccer balls = 80

basketballs = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

let S = number of soccer balls sold

let B = number of basketballs sold

If the store sold 40 more basketballs than soccer balls, then

B = S + 40

If the store sold $4800 worth of soccer and basketballs last month at a cost of $33 for a soccer ball and $18 for a basketball, then:

33S + 18B = 4800

Substitute the first equation B = S + 40 into the second equation and solve for S:

33S + 18(S + 40) = 4800

33S + 18S + 720 = 4800

51S + 720 = 4800

51S = 4080

S = 80

Substitute S = 80 into B = S + 40 to find B:

B = 80 + 40 = 120

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.

1. Write the interval shown on the number line
shusha [124]

Answer:

x\geq 5

\{x\  |\  x \geq 5\}   OR {5, 6, 7, 8, .....}

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have a look at the interval shown on the number line and try to understand it properly.

The number line shows positive numbers starting from 3 that means numbers indicated will be positive numbers.

The number highlighted starts from 5 and there is filled circle at 5.

So, 5 is included in the interval.

The arrow is from 5 towards 8 and so on..

That means Numbers greater than or equal to 5 are represented by the interval.

So, writing as an inequality

Let x represents one of the numbers.

Hence, inequality can be written as:

x\geq 5

Using the set notation:

\{x\  |\  x \geq 5\}

OR

{5, 6, 7, 8, .....}
