The ratio of yellow sweets to purple sweets is 5:4.

Alice eats 3 purple sweets and the ratio is now 5:3.

Work out how many sweets there were at the beginning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of yellow : purple = 5 : 4 = 5x : 4x ( x is a multiplier )

After Alice eats 3 purple sweets, then ratio is

5 : 3 = 5x : 4x - 3

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5x}{4x-3}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

5(4x - 3) = 15x

20x - 15 = 15x ( subtract 15x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 0 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

Then

number of sweets at beginning = 5x + 4x = 9x = 9(3) = 27

Ben's Game World is having a sale on video games. The store is offering a sale pack of 4 video games for $43.80. What is the unit price of a video game in the sale pack?

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

a) 10.95

b) 76.65

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price of Ben's video games, divide 43.80 by 4, which is equal to 10.95. So, the unit price is 10.95 at Ben's Game World.

Then, using the unit price we found earlier, multiply 10.95 by 7, which will gives us the cost of 7 games at Roberto's Electronics. You'll get 76.65. So, the cost of 7 games at Roberto's Electronics, using the same unit price at Ben's Game World, would be 76.65.

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes. Each small box can hold 25 books and each large box can hold 50 books. There were 3 more large boxes sent than small boxes, which altogether can hold 450 books. Determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent.
There were ____ small boxes sent and ____ large boxes sent.

Answers

Answer:

there were 4 small boxes sent and 7 large boxes sent

Step-by-step explanation:

let s= number of small boxes

let y= number of small boxes

each small box can hold 25 books, so s small boxes can hold 25s books. Each large box can hold 50 books, so l large boxes can hold 50lbooks. Therefore, the total number of books 25s+50l equals 450.

Since there were 3 more large boxes sent than small boxes, if we add 3 to the number of small boxes, we will get the number of large boxes, meaning l equals s+3.

system of equations:

25s+50l=450

l=s+3

At the football game, 3 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks cost $27, and 3 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks cost $18. Which two equations can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink?

Let x represent the cost of a hamburger and y represent the cost of a soft drink.

Answers

Answer:

Let be "x" the cost in dollars of a hamburger and "y" the cost in dollars of a soft drink.

The cost of 4 hamburguers can be represented with this expression:

4x4x

And the cost of 6 soft drinks  can be represented with this expression:

6y6y

Since the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks is $34, you can write the following equation:

4x+6y=344x+6y=34   [Equation 1]

 The following expression represents the the cost of 3 soft drinks:

3y3y

According to the information given in the exercise, the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks is $25. Then, the equation that represents this is:

4x+3y=254x+3y=25 [Equation 2]

Therefore, the Equation 1 and the Equation 2 can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink

Answer:

3x + 6y = 27

3x + 3y = 18

x = $3, y = $3

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve by using the elimination method.

3x + 6y = 27

3x + 3y = 18

Subtract top equation by bottom.

3x + 6y = 27

- (3x + 3y = 18)

_____________

  0 +  3y  =  9

3y = 9

y = 3

Plug y in for three

3x + 6*3 = 27

3x + 18 = 27

3x = 9

x = 3

So, your solution is x = $3, y = $3

The mean is when you average the numbers (adding them all up then dividing by how many numbers there are).

Answer: before u do all of this put the number in smallest to biggest the mean is u add all the number then when u get the answer u divide the number by how many numbers are there so 2 + 3+3+4+5+6+6+6+7+9= 51 now 15 divided by 10 =5.1 that is the mean

Write the equation of a parabola in factored form if the x-intercepts are (3,0) and (-5,0) with a maximum point at ( -1,8)

Answers

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x - 3)(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the x- intercepts are x = 3 and x = - 5 then the corresponding factors are

(x - 3) and (x + 5)

The equation is the the product of the factors, that is

y = a(x - 3)(x + 5)  ← a is a multiplier

To find a substitute (- 1, 8) into the equation

8 = a(- 1 - 3)(- 1 + 5) = a(- 4)(4) = - 16a ( divide both sides by - 16 )

- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = a

Then

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x - 3)(x + 5) ← in factored form
