A local foundation organized a lunch party for all the kids in the community. They ordered a total of 500 burger meals. They ordered plain burgers at $1.75 each cheeseburgers at $2.50 each, and chicken burgers
at $3.20 each. They ordered mostly cheeseburgers, and 100 fewer chicken burgers than plain burgers. The total order came to $1.172.50.
Define the variables and write a system of equations to represent the
situation.

Answer:

x + y + z = 5002.50x +1.75y +3.20z = 1172.500x +y -z = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y, z represent the numbers of cheeseburgers, plain burgers, and chicken burgers ordered for the party.

We have three relations given. Each can be used to write an equation.

  x + y + z = 500 . . . . . . . . . a total of 500 meals were ordered

  2.50x +1.75y +3.20z = 1172.50 . . . . . the total cost

  0x +y -z = 100  . . . . . . . . . . 100 fewer chicken were ordered than plain

_____

Additional comment

We put the coefficient of x as 0 in the last equation to facilitate writing this system as an augmented matrix.

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&500\\2.50&1.75&3.20&1172.50\\0&1&-1&100\end{array}\right][/tex]

The solution is (x, y, z) = (300, 150, 50).

joes grandmother is suffering from fever from many days.he wants to go to his hometown Southampton to see his grandmother.His house is 325 km away from oxford.he covered 1/5th of his journey by bus.227.5km by train.16.25km by taxi and rest on foot.now give ans for the following questions; how much distance did he covered by bus.what fraction of total journey covered by train. How much distance he covered on foot? how much is the difference in distance covered by train and covered by bus?

Answers

The distance that will be covered by the bus will be 65km.

Since his house is 325 km away from Oxford and he covered 1/5th of his journey by bus. Then, the distance that's covered by bus will be:

= 1/5 × 325km

= 65 km.

Since 227.5km is covered by train, then the distance covered by train will be: = 227.5/325 = 7/10

The distance covered by foot will be:

= 325 - (65 + 227.5 + 16.25)

= 325km - 308.75km

= 16.25km

The difference in distance covered by train and covered by bus will be:

= 227.5km - 65km

= 162.5km

Answer:

a/2=3

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand  

a/2=3

We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.  

+ 0.5a=+3

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

What is the slope of this line?

Answers

The slope of horizontal lines is zero because they are straight with no curve.

The slope is calculates using the rise over the run.

Rise= How many units we move up. Here we move 0 units.

Whatever the run is (NOT 0) if we divide 0 by the run, we will get 0.

Diagonal lines always have slope.

Seventeen lines drawn in a plane, with no three concurrent and no two parallel, divide the plane into
closed regions (bounded on all sides) and open regions. The number of closed regions is

Answers

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a chart:

Lines:                  0   1    2   3  4   5   6

Closed regions: 0   0   0   1   3   6   10

Find the number of numbers using the formula:

[tex]\frac{first term + last term}{2}[/tex] x 14 = [tex]\frac{2 + 15}{2}[/tex] x 14

                                  = 8.5 x 14

                                  = 119

119 + 1 = 120

(add 1 because we didn't count the first line in the formula)

I hope this helps :)

The total number of closed regions is 120.

Given that,

Seventeen lines are drawn in a plane, with no three concurrent and no two parallel, dividing the plane into closed regions (bounded on all sides) and open regions.

Used the formula to calculate the number of closed regions with n sides is,

Number of sides = (n - 1) (n - 2) / 2

Here, n = 17

Hence, The number of closed regions is,

Number of sides = (n - 1) (n - 2) / 2

Number of sides = (17 - 1) (17 - 2) / 2

Number of sides = 16 × 15 / 2

Number of sides = 120

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?

Answers

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.

on top of a monthly charge, averys cellphone company adds a fee for each text message snet. averys june bill was 50.79 which covered 104 text messages. the bill for may, which covered 83 text messages was only 46.59

Answers

The price for the text message that is charged by the cellphone company will be $0.2.

Let the fixed monthly charge be mLet the fee for each text be n.

Based on the above, the equation to represent the information given will be:

m + 104n = 50.79 ....... equation i

m + 83n = 46.59 ......... equation ii

Subtract equation ii from i

21n = $4.2

What are the values of x and y?

Answers

Answer:

D should be correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets create an equation.

7x + 1 + 4x - 8 + 120 + 12y = 360

We will now try all options to see which one fits perfectly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A) x = 3, y = 10

7(3) + 1 + 4(3) - 8 + 120 + 12(10) = 360

=> 21 + 1 + 12 - 8 + 120 + 120 = 360

=> 266 ≠ 360 (False)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B) x = 1, y = 12

7(1) + 1 + 4(1) - 8 + 120 + 12(12) = 360

=> 7 + 1 + 4 - 8 + 120 + 144 = 360

=> 268 ≠ 360 (False)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C) x = 32, y = 10

7(32) + 1 + 4(32) - 8 + 120 + 12(10) = 360

=> 224 + 1 + 128 - 8 + 120 + 120 = 360

=> 585 ≠ 360 (False)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D) x = 17, y = 5

7(17) + 1 + 4(17) - 8 + 120 + 12(5) = 360

=> 119 + 1 + 68 - 8 + 120 + 60 = 360

=> 360 = 360 (True)
