Answer:

one gadget costs $15.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = cost of one widget

Let g = cost of one gadget

Given:

  • Five widgets and three gadgets cost $109. 90

⇒ 5w + 3g = 109.9

Given:

  • One widget and four gadgets cost $75. 70

⇒ w + 4g = 75.7

Rewrite  w + 4g = 75.7  to make w the subject:

⇒ w = 75.7 - 4g

Substitute into  5w + 3g = 109.9  and solve for g:

⇒ 5(75.7 - 4g) + 3g = 109.9

⇒ 378.5 - 20g + 3g = 109.9

⇒ 378.5 - 109.9 = 20g - 3g

⇒ 268.6 = 17g

⇒ g = 15.8

Therefore, one gadget costs $15.80

To find the cost of one widget, substitute the found value for g into
w = 75.7 - 4g and solve for w:

⇒ w = 75.7 - 4(15.8)

⇒ w = 75.7 - 63.2

⇒ w = 12.5

Therefore, one widget costs $12.50

2.2.3 Quiz: Angle Theorems
serious [3.7K]

The value of y is 40 degree , Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Angle Sum Property ?</h3>

According to angle sum property, the sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degree.

It is given in the question a triangle  , here

the angles given are 2y , y+10 , 50 degree

From the property ,

2y + y +  10 +50 = 180

3y +60 = 180

3y = 120

y = 40 degree

Therefore The value of y is 40 degree , Option B is the correct answer.

Any linear function is of the form y=mx+b

Here m is slope and b is y intercept.

Slope is difference in y divided by different in x values .

In the question for 5 persons cost is $100 and for 10 persons cost is $162.50

So the points are (5,100) and (10,162.50)

Slope m=\frac{162.50-100}{10-5}=12.50

We can find the value of b by taking m=12.50 and (x,y)=(5,100)

Substitute these values in y=mx+b

100=12.50(5)+b

100=62.50+b

Subtracting 62.50 both sides

b=100-62.50

b=37.5

a) Put m=12.50 and b=37.50 to get the equation

y=12.50x+37.50

b)Rate of change is the m value or the slope of the function.

Initial value that is (5,100) gives us one of the points to find the rate of change.
