Answer:

mass of empty basket: 1.21 kg

Explanation:

the mass of basket is constant. Let the mass of basket be "b" and mass of each balls be "m"

Make equations:

  • b + 3(m) = 3.64  ___ equation 1
  • b + 5(m) = 5.26  ___ equation 2

<u>solve them simultaneously,</u>

  • 3.64 - 3(m) = 5.26 - 5(m)
  • -3(m) + 5(m) = 5.26 - 3.64
  • 2(m) = 1.62
  • m = 0.81 kg

<u>mass of basket,</u>

  • b = 3.64 - 3(m)
  • 3.64 - 3(0.81 )
  • 1.21 kg

  1. Bucket be x
  2. balls be y

Now

  • x+3y=3.64=>x=3.64-3y--(1)
  • x+5y=5.26=>x=5.26-5y

So

  • 3.64-3y=5.26-5y
  • -3y+5y=5.26-3.64
  • 2y=1.62
  • y=0.81kg

So

  • x=3.64-3(0.81)=3.64-2.43=1.21kg

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Nina is not correct because 393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find total sales she he is not correct because

3 / 4 of 1440 = 1,080$ ticket sales from yesterday

and 295.25 - 33.50 = 261.75$

Therefore, ( 3 / 4 * 1440 ) + ( 295.25 - 33.50 ) = 1,341.75$ sale of today

Ticket from yesterday and today

1,080 - 1,341.75 = 393.5

393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket.
