1. Your school's Key Club decided to sell fruit baskets to raise
money for a local charity. The club sold a total of 80 fruit
baskets. There were three different types of fruit baskets.
Small fruit baskets sold for $15.75 each, medium fruit baskets
sold for $25 each, and large fruit baskets sold for $32.50
each. The Key Club took in a total of 52086.25. and they sold
twice as many large baskets as small baskets.
a. Formulate a system of three linear equations in three
variables to represent this problem situation. Be sure to
define your variables.
b. Solve the system of three linear equations using
technology with matrices. Write your answer in terms of
the problem situation.
c. Describe the solution in terms of the problem situation.
2. Is it always easier to solve a system of linear equations using
matrices? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Let the small , medium and large baskets be denoted by s,m & l

Formulating the equations

s+m+l= 80--------- equation1

$15.75s+ $25 m + $32.5l = $2086.25------equation2

2s=l---------equation 3

Using the technology  s=15, m=35 and l= 30

15+35+30= 80--------- equation1

$15.75(15)+ $25 (35)+ $32.5 (30) = $2086.25------equation2

2(15)=(30)---------equation 3

Yes because multiple variables can be easily calculated through matrices using technology

In Matrix form

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\15.75&25&32.5\\-2&0&1\end{array}\right][/tex] [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}s\\m\\l\end{array}\right][/tex]     = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c} 80\\2086.25\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Let A= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\15.75&25&32.5\\-2&0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

Z= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}s\\m\\l\end{array}\right][/tex]    

B = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c} 80\\2086.25\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Z= A⁻¹ B

A⁻¹= A mod/ det A

det A= -1

Using the technology  s=15, m=35 and l= 30

15 small baskets,

35 medium baskets

30 large baskets were sold.

Part C:

15+35+30= 80--------- equation1

$15.75(15)+ $25 (35)+ $32.5 (30) = $2086.25------equation2

236.25+ 875+ 975=$2086.25

$2086.25=$2086.25

2(15)=(30)---------equation 3

Answer 2:

Yes because multiple variables can be easily calculated using technology.

N.B There is a typing error in question its $2086.25 not 52086.25

and there between 250-300 feet.

Aisha wants to paint the wall of the room. She knows that each can of the paint contain one gallon. A half gallon will completetly cover a 55 square feet of wall. Each of the four wall of the room is 10 feet high. Two of the walls are 10 feet wide and two of the walls are 15 ft wide. How many one gallons buckets of paint does aisha need to buyin order to paint the room ?

Answers

Answer:

It doesn't say what to do with that 0.1 of a gallon. I would buy another gallon or dilute what I had so it came to exactly 9.1 gallons. In math, I suppose the answer is 9.

In reality it would be 10.

You have to choose.  What has been done with other questions like this.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 can covers 55 square feet.

h = 10

w1 = 10 feet

w2 = 10 feet

w3 = 15 feet

w4 = 15 feet

Total area = Area of wall 1 + wall 2 + wall 3 + wall 4

Total area = 10*10 + 10*10 + 10*15 + 10* 15

Total area = 100  + 100 + 150 + 150

Total area = 500  feet^2

1 gallon / 55 ft^2 = x / 500 ft^2          Cross multiply

55 * x = 500                                       Divide by 55

x = 500/55

x = 9.1 gallons.

In real life you would buy another gallon.

if f(x)=x-4 find the value if f(x)+f(-x) ​

Answers

Answer:

2x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x -4

Step 1:

y = x - 4

Step 2: Replace y with x

x = y - 4

Step 3: Find y

x + 4 = y  

f(-x) = x + 4

f(x) + f(-x) = (x - 4)+ (x + 4) = 2x

3x+33° D
(Ex-6)°
B
mZABC = °

Answers

Answer:

∠ ABC = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ ABC + ∠ DBC = ∠ ABD , that is

6x - 6 + 3x + 8 =  83

9x + 2 = 83 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

9x = 81 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 9

Then

∠ ABC = 6x - 6 = 6(9) - 6 = 54 - 6 = 48°

We can calculate the volume V of a rectangular prism using V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the
prism. Suppose that a prism has a volume of 200 cm and l = 2w.
a. Select all of the equations that rewrite the volume formula by making substitutions for V and l.
200 = 2w²h
200 = 4wh
V = 22
2w xwxh = 200

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

200=2w²h

The equations are -

200 = 2[tex]w^{2}[/tex]h

2w x w x h = 200

We have a prism and the formula to calculate its volume is given.

We have to select all of the equations that rewrite the volume formula by making substitutions for V = 200 cubic centimeter and L = 2w.

What is Prism ?

A Prism is a three-dimensional shape, which consists of two identical polygons, which do not lie in the same axis.

According to the question, we have -

Volume of Prism = 200 cubic centimeter

L = 2w

The formula to calculate the volume of prism equals to -

V = Lwh

Substituting values, we get -

200 = 2[tex]w^{2}[/tex]h

or

2w x w x h = 200

Hence, the equations are -

200 = 2[tex]w^{2}[/tex]h

2w x w x h = 200

What is the percentage change from 305 to 395

Answers

Answer:

29.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

The change from 305 to 395 is the difference between the two numbers. So, it would be 395 - 305 or 90. Now, to find the percentage of change, we need to find what part of the original amount is the change. In other words, we would have to divide 90 by 305. By putting this in a calculator you get about 0.2951. To convert this decimal into a percent, we would multiply by 100 giving us 29.51%.

Explanation:

Let's say that the first 26 people will occupy each of the 26 rooms. This means that, so far, there's one person per room.

There are 40-26 = 14 people left. Let's say those 14 people occupy the first 14 rooms. This means that the first 14 rooms now have 2 people in them per room. The remaining 26-14 = 12 rooms still have one person per room.

Answers

Answer:

It started on the same floor, floor 14

Step-by-step explanation:

if it went up 7 then down 9, so negative 2 kinda, then down another 4, so negative 6, then up 8 so positive 2, then down 2, it would've started on floor 14

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the floor started be 'x'

Equation:-  

=> x + 7 - 9 - 4 + 8 - 2= 14

x + (+7) + (-9) + (-4) + (+8) + (-2) = 14  

x + 7 - 9 - 4 + 8 - 2 = 14  

x + 15 - 15 = 14  

x = 14

Therefore, elevator started from 14th level.
