A local service organization is wrapping gifts at the mall to raise money for charity. Yesterday, they wrapped 14 small gifts and 15 large gifts, earning a total of $205. Today, they wrapped 47 small gifts and 45 large gifts, and earned $640. How much did they charge to wrap the gifts?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money charged to wrap a small gift be $x and the money charged to wrap a large gift be $y. The cost of wrapping 14 small gifts and 15 large gifts is $205, It can be represented by the equation:

14x + 15y = 205                 (1)

Also, the cost of wrapping 47 small gifts and 45 large gifts is $640. It can be represented by the equation:

47x + 45y = 640                 (2)

Solving equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2:

5x = 25

x = 25/5 = 5

x = 5

Put x = 5, in equation 1 and solve:

14(5) + 15y = 205

15y + 70 = 205

15y = 205 - 70

15y = 135

y = 135 / 15

y = 9

This means that the money charged to wrap the small gift is $5 and to wrap the large gifts is $9

A train starts at Omaha at 2 pm and heads for Reedley, 750 km away. At the same time, a train leaves Reedley and heads for Omaha at 85 km per hour. If the trains meet at 5 pm, what is the rate of the first train

Answers

Answer:

250 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the rate of the first train, we need to know that the distance between Omaha and Reedly is 750 km away and that it will move at 2 pm and arrive at the location at 5 pm. So, first subtract the hours from 5 to 2.  5 - 2 = 3

The train would arrive in 3 hours.. so we substitute 3 into the number of hours.

Distance = 750

km (kilometers per hour) = ?

Hours = 3

Now we should substitute the number values into the equation, it should look like this:  750 = km(3)

3 multiplied by the varible will be 3km because there is no coefficient for km.

750 = 3km

Then, we divide 3 by both sides to make the 3 into a one for km.

750 ÷ 3 = 3km ÷ 3

250 = km

The rate of first train is 165 mph.

What is Speed- Distance?Speed = Distance/Time Distance = Speed X Time, Time = Distance / Speed.

We can frame the situation as

                    Distance      Rate      Time

First train                            x        3

Second train                      85        3

Now, using Distance= Speed x  time

                       Distance      Rate      Time

First train               3x           x              3

Second train       255          85            3

So, the equation is

3x+ 255 = 750

3x = 750 -255

3x =495

x= 165

The angle at the center subtend by the chord of the circle will be 50°. Then the correct option is C.

What is a circle?

It is the center of an equidistant point drawn from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and the circumference.

The angle that the very same arc subtends at any point around the circle's periphery is the double of the angle that same arc subtends at the center.

The angle at the periphery is 25°.

Then the angle at the center of the circle will be double of the angle subtend at the periphery.

Central angle = 2 × 25°

Central angle = 50°

The angle at the center subtend by the chord of the circle will be 50°.

Then the correct option is C.

Nikki works at a store that sells consumer electronics. She earns $12 per hour, plus a commission of 5% of her total sales amount each day. Nikki worked 8 hours on Saturday. Including her commission, Nikki earned a total of $139 on Saturday. Which equation can be solved for x, Nikki’s total sales amount in dollars on Saturday?

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Nikki earns $12 per hour.

And she also earns a 5% or 0.05 commission of her total sales each day.

On Saturday, she worked eight hours and she earned $139. In other words, she earned 8(12) or $96 from working her hours and another $43 (139-96) from her commission.

Thus:

[tex]139=96+0.05x[/tex]

Where x represents Nikki's total sales on Saturday.

Further notes:

To solve, subtract 96 from both sides and divide by 0.05:

[tex]139=96+0.05x\\43=0.05x\\x=\$860[/tex]

Thus, her total sales that day were $860.

lf x+1/x=12 then find the value of x3+1/x3​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

First we find what x is:
x + 1/x = 12
x + 1 = 12x
1 = 12x - x
1 = 11x
1/11 = x
Or x = 1/11

Plug x value in x^3 + 1/x^3

(1/11)^3 + 1/(1/11)^3
= (1^3/11^3)+ 1/(1^3/11^3)
= (1/1331 + 1)/1/1331
= (1/1331 + 1331/1331)/1/1331
= 1332/1331 x 1331/1
= 1332/1
= 1332

Therefore, x^3 + 1/x^3 = 1332

Does this equation have one, many, or no solutions? [tex]2+4(3-4x)=5x+9[/tex] If one, what is the value of 'x'? Show work please.

Answers

Answer: This equation has one solution.

Steps:

2+4(3-4x) = 5x +9

First, we need to distribute to the terms inside the parentheses.

4 * 3 = 12   and   4 * -4= -16x

Our equation now looks like this:

2 + 12 - 16x = 5x + 9

We can now combine like terms. We have 2 like terms that we can combine:

2 + 12 + = 14

Our equation now looks like this:

-16x + 14 = 5x + 9

We can now use inverse operations to get rid of 5x. The inverse operation for addition is subtraction; so we subtract 5x on both sides. Remember, our goal is to isolate the x.

-16x + 14 = 5x + 9

-5x          -5x

The fives cancel out. Our equation now looks like this:

-21x + 14 = 9

We can now use inverse operations to get rid of the 14:

-21x + 14 = 9

       - 14  -14

The fourteens cancel out. Our equation now looks like this:

-21x = -5

Last step! Now we use inverse operations to isolate the x. -21 is being multiplied by x; the inverse operation for multiplication is division.

-21x/-21 =    and    -5/-21 = 5/21

x is equal to 5/21.

Two less than a number and five is 12 less than the number itself

Answers

Answer: x - 2 + 5 = x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

At first I was confused. Then I read the question again and translated it.

Less than translated means - 2.

A number, aka X.

and means plus(+).

when you put that together you get,

x - 2 + 5.

The next step is to translate to second part of the equation.

Is means equals(=).

So far we have: X - 2 + 5 = 12.

This is where I got confused...

After solving that peice, we have the words; " 12 less than the number it's self. I wasn't sure if 2 x's could be in the same equation. Now I know they can.

Above, we established that 'a number' is x.

Now, it's talking about that number again because it says; "The number itself." At first, I thought it was talking about 12 - 12! Then I realized that it's not.

The new equation, after understanding that in the second piece isn't 12 - 12, would be none other than,

x - 2 + 5 = 12 - x

Eighty percent of adults drink coffee and seventy percent drink tea. What is the smallest possible percent of adults who drink both coffee and tea?

Answers

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Eighty percent ( 80%) of adults drink coffee and seventy ( 70%) percent drink tea.

Let the percent of the adults that drink coffee and tea be y

The total percentage of adults = 100

80 - y + y + 70 - y = 100

150 - y = 100

- y = 100 - 150

Y = 50.

Therefore, the smallest possible percent of adults who drink both coffee and tea is 50 %

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

Two line segments are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal.

If the slopes of two lines are equal, then they have the same steepness and will never intersect.

However, if the slopes are different, the lines will intersect at some point, and they will not be parallel.

Thus,

Two line segments are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal.

What is an angle bisector?

The line or line segment that divides an angle into two equal halves is known as the internal angle bisector or (interior) bisector. An angle is a shape created by two rays that share a terminus and are referred to as the angle's sides and vertices, respectively.

Angles created by two rays are in the plane where the rays are located. The meeting of two planes also creates angles.

Given that in triangle ABC the angle ∠CAD is 29°. Then the angle will be calculated as below:-

The line AD is an angle bisector at point A of the triangle. Then the two angles ∠CAD and ∠DAB will be equal to each other.

∠CAD = ∠DAB

∠CAD = 29°

Therefore, the angle ∠DAB will be equal to 29 degrees.
