The cost of 4 boxes of pens and 3 boxes of pencils is $22.55. The cost of 3 boxes of pens and 2 boxes of pencils is $16.45. Find the cost of each.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One pen is $4.25 and one pencil is $1.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of pens be x and cost of pencils be y.

1. 4x+3y=22.55

2. 3x+2y=16.45

Sub. 1.-2.,

x+y=22.55-16.45

x=6.1-y

Sub. x=6.1-y into 1.,

y=1.85

x=4.25

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of a box of pens = $4.25

Cost of a box of pencils = $1.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Cost of 4 boxes of pens and 3 boxes of pencils = $22.55Cost of 3 boxes of pens and 2 boxes of pencils = $16.45

Define the variables:

Let x = the cost of a box of pens.Let y = the cost of a box of pencils.

Create two equations from the given information:

[tex]\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad 4x + 3y = 22.55[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad 3x + 2y = 16.45[/tex]

Multiply Equation 1 by 3:

[tex]\implies 3 \cdot 4x + 3 \cdot 3y = 3 \cdot 22.55[/tex]

[tex]\implies 12x + 9y = 67.65[/tex]

Multiply Equation 2 by 4:

[tex]\implies 4 \cdot 3x + 4 \cdot 2y = 4 \cdot 16.45[/tex]

[tex]\implies 12x + 8y = 65.80[/tex]

Subtract the equations to eliminate the term in x:

[tex]\begin{array}{r rr}& 12x+9y = &67.65\\- & 12x+8y = &65.80\\\cline{2-3} & y = & 1.85\end{array}[/tex]

Substitute the found value of y into one of the equations and solve for x:

[tex]\implies 3x + 2y = 16.45[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x + 2(1.85) = 16.45[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x + 3.7 = 16.45[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x =12.75[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=4.25[/tex]

Solution

Cost of a box of pens = $4.25Cost of a box of pencils = $1.85

Figure B is not a scale copy of figure A. The answer is NO. The corresponding lengths of both figures have different ratios.

How to Determine a Scale Copy of a Figure?

If a figure is the scale copy of another figure, the corresponding side lengths of both figures would be proportional to each other, which means their ratios would be the same.

From the figure given, the ratios of their side lengths are:

18/9 = 2

12/12 = 1

30/15 = 2

This shows that their ratios are not the same.

Therefore, we can conclude that figure B is not a scale copy of figure A. The answer is NO. The corresponding lengths of both figures have different ratios.

Given that 3(n-10)=7

step1: multiplication

Adding a number to itself as many times as the value of the other number is equivalent to multiplying two numbers by their sum.

3n-30=7

step2: adding 30 on both sides of the equation.

When objects are collected together, addition, a mathematical operation, describes how many total items there are in the collection.

Find the probability that there are no T when a fair coin is flipped three times.

Answers

The probability that no Tails is achieved on flipping a fair coin for three consecutive times is [tex](\frac{1}{8})[/tex].

As per the question statement, we are to flip or toss a fair coin thrice consecutively.

We are required to calculate the probability that no Tails is achieved during the above mentioned event.

To solve this question, first let us calculate all the possible outcomes of flipping a fair coin thrice consecutively. [We will denote a Heads outcome as "H" and a Tails outcome as "T"]

The total number of outcomes can be given by the formula [tex](2^{n})[/tex], where "n" is the number of times, the coin is tossed.

Here, (n = 3), therefore, total number of outcomes in our case [tex]=(2^{3})=8[/tex].

These 8 outcomes can be listed as [tex][{(H, H, H), (H, H, T), (H, T, H), (H, T, T), (T, H, H), (T, H, T), (T, T, H), (T, T, T)}][/tex]

And among the above listed 8, our favorable outcome is (H, H, H), i.e., 1 favorable outcome of 8.

Hence, probability that no Tails is achieved on flipping a fair coin thrice consecutively = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex].

Probability: In Mathematics, probability is the chance to of the occurrence of a specific event among the occurrence of all possible events, and is measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases possible.

Austin rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.99, and there was an additional charge of 73 cents for each mile driven. Austin had to pay $120.92 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answers

The miles for which  Austin drove the truck  is 141 miles

It is given that Austin rents a truck for one day

The daily rental base fee of the truck is $17.99

It is also given that additional charge of 73 cents per mile is charged.

It is also to be noted that 1$ =100 cents

Therefore, 73 cents in the form of dollar is 0.73$

Now it is given that total bill that is paid is $120.92

Now the total number of miles travelled by Austin is total bill minus the base fee and 73 cents multiplied by miles

Let the miles travelled by Austin be 'x'

Therefore, Miles travelled by Austin = 120.92$-17.99$

                                     0.73 x =(120.92 -17.99)  $                      

                                     x= 102.93 / 0.73

                                     x=141

Hence, the miles for which Austin drove the truck is 141 miles

Ms. Francis is planning a birthday party for her daughter. There will be 22 children at the party, and in order to seat them all she needs to rent square card tables. Only 1 child can sit at each side of a card table.

Ms. Francis wants to arrange the tables in a rectangular shape so they look like one large table. The room is large enough that

the rectangle can be made with more than one row of tables.

Part A: How many different arrangements can Ms. Francis make to seat all 22 children?

Part B: What is the smallest number of tables that Ms. Francis needs to rent?

DIRECTIONS: To solve the problem, apply the steps of the Mathematical Problem-Solving Routine.

Understand

1. Try to visualize the situation. Consider drawing a diagram

2. State the problem in your own words.

3. What is the important information in the problem?

Plan

4. What strategy will you use to solve the problem? Why?​

Answers

There are 5 possible arrangements to make seat all 22 children.

The smallest number of tables Ms. Francis is 10 tables.

Total number of children at the party = 22

When we picturize the scenario, each child need to get a side of the table.

So at least 22 sides should be there after arranging it into rectangles. Also the square card tables are arranged side to side to get rectangle rows.

It is also said that there can be multiple rows. So combining all these points, we can consider a row of 10 tables. Then the the squares on the ends contribute a total of 6 sides and the remaining 16 seats can be arranged by 8 square tables in between the end square tables. So a total of 10 square table is required to make a rectangle in one row.

For making 22 seats in 2 rows, the 4 square tables on the ends contribute 8 seats. For the remaining 12 seats add 7 square tables in each row, that is a total of 14 square tables. That is, for 2 rows, the square tables required is 14 + 4 = 18.

Similarly, for 3 rows, a total of 24 square tables are required.

For 4 rows, a total of 28 tables and for 5 rows, a total of 30 tables are needed.

We cannot make a 6 row because it will be same as a 5 row.

So 5 different arrangements can be made to seat all 22 children.

They are:

1 row → 1 x 10 = 10 tables

2 rows → 2 x 9 = 18 tables

3 rows → 3 x 8 = 24 tables

4 rows → 4 x 7 = 28 tables

5 rows → 5 x 6 = 30 tables

The smallest number of tables that Ms. Francis needs to rent is, therefore, 10 tables.

The total cost of a jacket and a pair of pants was $52.37. If the price of the jacket was $4.87 less than the pair of pants, what was the price of the jacket? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to two places.

Answers

The price of the jacket is $23.75

Let m be the price of a jacket and n be the price of pair of pants.

The total cost of a jacket and a pair of pants was $52.37

So, we get an equation,

m + n = 52.37              ................(1)

Also, the price of the jacket was $4.87 less than the pair of pants

So, we get an equation,

m = n - 4.87               .............(2)

Substitute above value of m in equation (1)

⇒ (n - 4.87) + n = 52.37

⇒ 2n - 4.87 = 52.37

⇒ 2n = 52.37 + 4.87

⇒ 2n = 57.24

⇒ n = 28.62

This means, the cost of a pair of pants is $28.62

Substitute above value of n in equation (2)

⇒ m = n - 4.87

⇒ m = 28.62 - 4.87

⇒ m = 23.75

This means, the cost of a jacket is $23.75

Therefore, the price of the jacket is $23.75
