Answer:

P + M = 30

700P + 200M = 15000

Number of laser printers = 18

Number of color monitors = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = number of laser printers

Let M = number of color monitors

Given total number of boxes = 30

⇒ P + M = 30

Given:

  • $700 = cost of laser printer
  • $200 = cost of color monitor
  • $15000 = total cost of order

⇒ 700P + 200M = 15000

Rewrite P + M = 30 to make P the subject:

⇒ P = 30 - M

Substitute into 700P + 200M = 15000 and solve for M:

⇒ 700(30 - M) + 200M = 15000

⇒ 21000 - 700M + 200M = 15000

⇒ 500M = 6000

⇒ M = 12

Substitute found value for M into P = 30 - M and solve for P:

⇒ P = 30 - 12 = 18

A bracelet that regularly sells for $44 is on sale for 25% off. Find the sale price of the bracelet?
Vsevolod [243]
Regular price : $44

Discount : 25%

So, discount amount : 25% of 44
= 25/100 × 44
= $11

So, amount after applying discount = $44 - $11 = $33

Solve for qqq. 3\left(q+\dfrac43\right) = 23(q+ 3 4 ​ )=2<br>pls answer this
enyata [817]

Answer:

<h2>19/3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 3\left(q+\dfrac43\right) = 23, we are to find the value of q;

3\left(q+\dfrac43\right) = 23\\on\ expansion\\\\3q + 4/3(3) = 23\\\\3q+4 = 23\\\\subtract \ 4\ from \ both\ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\\\3q+4-4 = 23-4\\\\3q = 19\\\\Diviide \both\ sides \ by \ 3\\\\3q/3 = 19/3\\\\q = 19/3

Hence the value of q is 19/3

Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate
salantis [7]
The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation 
     Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t 
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is 
     Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t

We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal: 
     Pa = Pb
     1.3(1-0.038)^t  = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
     1.3(0.962)^t  = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.

We can now solve for t:
     (0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
     (0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
     t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
     t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.
