Small scooters cost £80 and large scooters cost £130. A school buys few scooters for the playground for £1000. How many of the smaller and larger scooter did they buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Small scooters = 6

Large scooters = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represents small scooter and L represents large scooter

The cost of a small scooter is £80

Mathematically,  the cost of S number of small scooters is

80S

The cost of a large scooter is £130

Mathematically,  the cost of L number of large scooters is

130L

The total amount spent on both scooters is £1000

Mathematically,

80S + 130L = 1000

So we have 2 unknowns and only 1 equation. Therefore, we have use trial and error method .

Trial and Error Method:

80S + 130L = 1000

80S = 1000 - 130L

S = (1000 - 130L)/80

Let’s suppose they bought 1 large scooter

S = (1000 - 130(1))/80

S = 10.875

Number of scooters cannot be in fraction so 1 doesn’t work

Let’s suppose they bought 2 large scooter s

S = (1000 - 130(2))/80

S = 9.25

Number of scooters cannot be in fraction so 2 doesn’t work

Let’s suppose they bought 3 large scooter s

S = (1000 - 130(3))/80

S = 7.625

Number of scooters cannot be in fraction so 3 doesn’t work

Let’s suppose they bought 4 large scooters

S = (1000 - 130(4))/80

S = 6

So that means they bought 6 small scooters and 4 large scooters.

Similarly, other combinations for scooters don’t work since they yield either fractional value or negative value which cannot be correct.

Therefore, the only possible combination of small and large scooters is

6 Small scooters

4 Large scooters

Verification:

80S + 130L = 1000

80(6) + 130(4) = 1000

480 + 520 = 1000

1000 = 1000 (satisfied)

Huh, the answer option doesn't exist. The answer is 7.5 You can double check my answer by multiplying 7.5*4 because 25% is 1/4th of 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cross multiplication. I've heard it being called butterfly multiplication. I'll try to represent it as best as I can.

x           25

30         100

You multiply 30 by 25 and x by 100

x*100=30*25

Then solve for x

x*100=750

x=750/100

x=7.5

Answers

Answer:

length = 62.41 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem -

Let

a = hypotenuse

b = height

c = length

a^2 = b^2 +c^2

75^2 = 41.6^2 + c^2

Therefore,

75^2 - 41.6^2 = c^2

5625 - 1730.56 = c^2

389.44 = c^2

square root (389.44) = c

62.40544848 = c

Answer:

62 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. If the diagonal of the screen is 75 inches, and the height is 41.6 inches, then these values represent B and C. We need to find the value of A, the length of the TV. Since [tex]A^{2} + B^{2} = C^{2}[/tex], all we have to do is square 75, which gives us 5625then subtract the value of 41.6 squared (1730.56)

and finally, take the square root of the number we are left with after subtracting [tex]B^{2}[/tex] , or 1730.56, from 5625, or [tex]C^{2}[/tex]

5625 - 1730.56 =3894.44

[tex]\sqrt{3894.44}[/tex] = 62.405

Answers

A statement that is true about the angle measures of the pieces is that the angle measure of each piece is 72°. This is because there are 360° in a full circle, and if each piece is equal, that means that each piece is a fifth of that. Therefore, the angle measure is 360/5= 72°

3 + (5 + 7) Use the commutative property of operations to reverse the numbers in the expression. Use the associative property of operations to change the grouping after reversing the numbers in the expression. Evaluate the expression.

Answers

Answer:

commutative property:

A + B = B + A

So we have

3 + (5 + 7)  = (5 + 7) + 3

Now distributive means that:

A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C

So  (5 + 7) + 3 = 5 + (7 + 3)

now the equation is easier to solve, because 7 + 3 = 10

5 + (7 + 3) = 5 + 10 = 15

Answer:

Use the commutative property of operations to reverse the numbers in the expression.

3 + 2x ≥ -4

~Subtract 3 to both sides

3 - 3 + 2x ≥ -4 - 3

Find the probability that a point in the figure chosen at random is in the
shaded kite. *Remember, the are of a kite is found by one half of diagonal
1 times diagonal 2. *
A)1/3
B)1/4
C)3/4
D)1/2

Answers

Answer:

Correct option: D) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of the kite and the area of the rectangle.

The diagonals of the kite are 16 and 12, as they are parallel to the sides of the rectangle.

So the area of the kite is A1 = (1/2) * 16 * 12 = 96

The area of the rectagle is the product of the sides, so A2 = 16 * 12 = 192

Now, to find the probability of a random point being inside the kite, we just need to divide the area of the kite by the area of the rectangle:

Probability = A1 / A2 = 96 / 192 = 1/2

Correct option: D)

If J is between H and K and HJ = 4x+9, JK = 3x+3 and KH = 33. What is the value of HJ?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming KH is a straight line with K and H being the beginning and the end of the line. If J is between H and K, it means that J is a point on line HK. Therefore, we can say that

HJ + JK= KH

If HJ = 4x + 9, JK = 3x + 3 and KH = 33, it means that

4x + 9 + 3x + 3 = 33

4x + 3x = 33 - (9 + 3)

7x = 21

Dividing both sides of the equation by 7, it becomes

x = 21/7 = 3

Therefore, HJ = 4 × 3 + 9 = 21
