The Downtown Community Barbecue served 280 dinners. A child’s plate cost $2.60 and an adult’s plate cost $9.50. A total of $1,797.50 was collected. How many of each type of plate was served?

Round answers to the nearest whole person.

child plates were served.
adult plates were served.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the number of child plates and adults plates were served is 125 and 155 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the child plate be x

And, the adult plates be y

Now according to the question

x + y = 280 .................(1)

2.60x + 9.50y = 1797.50 .............(2)

Now multiply by 2.60x in equation (1)

2.60x + 2.60y = 728

2.60x + 9.50y = 1797.50

-6.90y = -1069.50

y = 155

So, x = 280 - 155

= 125

hence, the number of child plates and adults plates were served is 125 and 155 respectively

Amy and Sara's ages are consecutive even integers. The product of their ages is 528. If Sara is
younger, how old is Amy?
Write an equation that can be used to find their ages.

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara = x age

Amy = x+2        when Sara  x = 22    Amy is x + 2 = 24

Product of ages = 528 so............

    x(x+2) = 528

    x² + 2x - 528 = 0     solve for x         I did it graphically first to get x = -24, 22

    (x+24) (x-22)  = 0

   (x+24) = 0         (x-22) = 0

           x = -24             x = 22        since you really can't have a negative age

                         

Dave's Candy Store is having a 15% off sale on gourmet candy. Jamal paid $37.40 for a gourmet candy basket that was on sale. What was the original price of the candy basket?

Answers

Answer: $43.01

Why: 37.40 x 0.15
= 5.61
(So the discount was $5.61)

Add it back into the sale...
$43.01

The original price of the gourmet candy is $44, as per linear equation.

What is a linear equation?

"A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form Ax + B = 0. Here, 'x' is a variable, 'A' is a coefficient and 'B' is constant."

Given, the percent of discount at Dave's candy store is 15% = 0.15.

Sale price of a gourmet candy is $37.40.

Let, the original price of the gourmet candy is x.

Therefore, [x - (x × 0.15)] = 37.40

⇒ (x - 0.15x) = 37.40

⇒ 0.85x = 37.40

⇒ x = (37.40/0.85)

⇒ x = 44

Therefore, the original price of the gourmet candy is $44.

Martin can travel 174 miles in 3 hours. At this rate, how far can he travel in 7 hours?

325 miles


398 miles


400 miles


406 miles

Answers

Answer: 406 miles

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to figure out how many miles he traveles per hour and to do that you divide 174 by 3 to get 58. Then multiply that by 7 because that is the amount of hours he should be traveling to get 406

Answer:

406 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First find how far Martin can travel in 1 hour, then multiply by 7(hours):

174 ÷ 3 = 58

58 × 7 = 406

If cos theta =12/13.find 1+cot theta

Answers

Answer:

17/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If cosθ = 12/13, find (1+cotθ)

As shown in the diagram attached,

Cotθ = 1/tanθ = adjacent/opposite

From the diagram attached,

cotθ = 12/a................... Equation 1

But we can find the value of a by using  pythagoras theorem

13² = 12²+a²

169 = 144+a²

a² = 169-144

a² = 25

a = √25

a = 5.

Substitute the value of a into equation 1

Therefore,

cotθ = 12/5

(1+cotθ) =(12/5)+1 = (5+12)/5

(1+cotθ) = 17/5

The researchers chilled the beverages to 6°C. Participants drank the beverages at the same time each day for three days. During the 3 days of the experiment, the researchers feed each participant the same diet. On the third day participants spent 24 hours in a calorimeter chamber to measure their energy metabolism. The medical journal Obesity published the results in 2007. What is the purpose of double-blinding?

a. To control unintentional researcher bias in the execution of the experiment
b. To control for the participants' prior beliefs about energy drinks
c. To control both unintentional research bias and participant prior beliefs

Answers

Answer:

C. To control both unintentional research bias and participant prior beliefs

Step-by-step explanation:

Double blinding is a type of study where neither the participants nor the researchers know the treatment or intervention that the participants receive until the whole study/research is completed. This is very important because it means that the results gotten from the study have a very slim chance of being biased.

Thus,the correct answer is option C as it includes both the researcher and the participants

Beth wants to buy Christmas lights to decorate her new home. At various stores, Beth found lights priced from $6.99 a strand to $25.99 a strand. Beth bought almost $200 worth of the cheapest lights so that she could have as many lights on her house as possible. For Beth, Christmas lights are a(n) _____.

Answers

Answer:

Christmas lights are price based shopping products

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we understand that, Beth bought as many cheapest lights as possible. This means that she places value over quantity than quality.

The above is an illustration of price based shopping products where customers (in this case, Beth) see all products (in this case, Christmas lights) as similar products, irrespective of their different qualities (after all, they all light Christmas trees).

Because of this, the customer will opt for least expensive items, leaving the more expensive items.

Please help!!! ABCD is a square with diagonals intersecting at E. What is the length of BE

Answers

Answer:

[tex]BE = 4\sqrt2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached square

Required

Find BE

First, we calculate BD (the diagonal) using Pythagoras theorem.

[tex]BD^2 = BA^2 + AD^2[/tex]

Since the shape is a square, then

[tex]BA = AD = 8[/tex]

So:

[tex]BD^2 = 8^2 + 8^2[/tex]

[tex]BD^2 = 2(8^2)[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]BD = \sqrt{2(8^2)[/tex]

[tex]BD = \sqrt{2} * 8[/tex]

[tex]BD = 8\sqrt{2}[/tex]

BE is half BD.

So:

[tex]BE = \frac{1}{2} * BD[/tex]

[tex]BE = \frac{1}{2} * 8\sqrt2[/tex]

[tex]BE = 4\sqrt2[/tex]

Answer:

(364.595 ; 391.405)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample data:

406, 385, 389, 383, 352, 379, 388, 343, 368, 387

Using calculator :

Sample mean, xbar = 378

Standard deviation, s = 18.74

Confidence interval :

Xbar ± Margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

TCritical at df = 24 ; 0.05 = 2.262

Margin of Error = 2.262 * 18.74/√10 = 13.405

Lower boundary = (378 - 13.405) = 364.595

Upper boundary = (378 + 13.405) = 391.405

The area of the circle is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula given to us, we know that the area of the circle = pi times the radius squared. This gives us an indication of what we need to do. We must first understand that the radius of the circle is 3. Multiply the radius by the 2nd power (multiply 3 by 3), and we get 9. They then ask us to substitute 3 for pi, meaning instead of pi times 9, it's 3 times nine, and 3*9=27. And there is your answer.
