It costs a total of R138.90 to purchase 10 loaves of bread and 12 litres of cooidrinks in a store. If the store raises the price of bread by 20% and the price of cooldrinks by 10%, the total price of these items becomes R159.54. Find the original price of three loaves of bread and two litres of cooldrinks. ​

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  R32.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the original price of a loaf of bread and a liter of drink, respectively. The two relations given by the problem statement are ...

  10x +12y = 138.90

  10(1.2x) +12(1.1y) = 159.54

Multiplying the first equation by 1.2 and subtracting the second gives ...

  1.2(10x +12y) -(10(1.2x) +12(1.1y)) = 1.2(138.90) -(159.54)

  1.2y = 7.14 . . . . collect terms

  y = 5.95 . . . . . divide by 1.2

The value of x can be found from the first equation.

  10x + 12(5.95) = 138.90

  10x = 67.50 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 71.40

  x = 6.75 . . . . divide by 10

Then the value of 3x+2y is ...

  3(6.75) +2(5.95) = 32.15

The original price of 3 loaves and 2 liters is R31.15.

864+2006=--------+864

5351 +(574+799)= 574+(5351+_____)​

Answers

Answer:

2006

799

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

The right hand side of the sun must be equal to the left hand side ;

Therefore ;

864+2006=--------+864

The sum of 864 and 2006 must be equal to the right hand side sum ; hence

864+2006= 2006 +864

Similarly, the left hand side and right havd side must also be equal here ;

5351 + 574 + 799 = 574 + 5351 + 799

Hence, the missing value is 799

etermine whether the given description corresponds to an observational study or an experiment. In a study of 444 women with a particular​ disease, the subjects were photographed daily. Does the given description correspond to an observational study or an​ experiment?

Answers

Answer:

observational study

Explanation:

The above is an example of observational study. An observational study merely observes and takes note, it does not try to interfere or intervene with the sample by deciding who would be exposed or not exposed to a certain explanatory variable(such as a disease). On the other hand, the experimental study divide up samples into groups, having the experimental group and the control group. This way the researcher interfers with the sample: The experimental group being the group exposed to the independent/explanatory variable while the other/control group is not.

A bicycle wheel with radius 26" rotates through an arc that measures 80°. What is the length of the arc of the tire that touched the ground? 5.78 inches 11.56 inches 2.88 inches

Answers

Answer:

104/4 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: The circumference of a circle is:

Radius = r, Diameter = d, C = Circumference

C=2πr (as 2r=d)

C=πd

-------------

If the radius of the circle is 26" then its diameter must be 52".

This means that the bicycle wheel has a circumference of 52π".

I'm going to divide 52π" into 360 parts (because a circle is made up of 360 degrees). I'll then multiply this value by 80 to give you an answer.

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer:

y = - 4.5x + 120

75 = - 4.5x + 120

x = 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To model the scenario described above, we use the linear equation model ;

Where ;

y = bx + c ; c = intercept ; b = slope ; y = altitude at time x

The initial altitude of the hot air Ballon here is the intercept = 120 meters

The descent rate = 4.5 m per minute is the slope ; since it is descent, then the slope will be negative as the altitude will reduce.

Hence, we have ;

y = - 4.5x + 120

Hence, the time altitude will be 75 cabnbe modeled as :

y = 75

75 = - 4.5x + 120

75 - 120 = - 4.5x

- 45 = - 4.5x

x = 10 minutes

Let X denote the number of bars of service on your cell phone whenever you are at an intersection with the following probabilities.

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(X=x) 0.1 0.15 0.25 0.25 0.15 0.1

Determine the following probabilities
a. Two or three bars
b. At least one bar
c. Fewer than two bars
d. More than three bars

Answers

Answer:

a. [tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = 0.5[/tex]

b. [tex]P(X \geq 1) = 0.9[/tex]

c. [tex]P(X < 2) = 0.25[/tex]

d. [tex]P(X > 3) = 0.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following distribution:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.1[/tex]

a. Two or three bars

[tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = 0.5[/tex]

b. At least one bar

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 0.9[/tex]

c. Fewer than two bars

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1 + 0.15 = 0.25[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(X < 2) = 0.25[/tex]

d. More than three bars

[tex]P(X > 3) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.15 + 0.1 = 0.25[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(X > 3) = 0.25[/tex]

Which statement regarding the diagram is true?

mMKL+mMLK=mJKM mKML+mMLK=mJKM mMKL+mMLK=180 mJKM+mMLK=180

Answers

Answer:

mKML+mMLK=mJKM

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, acute, obtuse, equilateral, isosceles, and right triangle.

As shown in the diagram, polygon MLK is a triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°, hence:

m∠MLK + m∠KML + m∠MKL = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle).

m∠MKL = 180 -  (m∠MLK + m∠KML)      (1)

Also along line JL, the sum of angles on one side of a straight line is 180°, therefore:

m∠JKM + m∠MKL = 180° (sum of angles in a straight line)

m∠JKM + m∠MKL = 180°                (2)

From equations 1 and 2, equating give:

m∠JKM + [180 -  (m∠MLK + m∠KML)) =  180

m∠JKM + 180 - m∠MLK - m∠KML =  180

m∠JKM = m∠MLK + m∠KML

QUESTION 6 The scale on a map is given as 1 : 320,000. If the distance between the top of the two mountains on the map is 6.8cm, what is the actual distance in kilometres between the two tops of the mountain. ? show working out to prove answer.​

Answers

Answer:

The actual distance is of 21.76 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale problems are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

The scale on a map is given as 1 : 320,000

This means that each unit on the map represents 320,000 units of distance.

Distance between the top of the two mountains on the map is 6.8cm

Then

1 cm - 320,000 cm

6.8 cm - x

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]x = 6.8*320000 = 2176000[/tex]

Distance in kilometers

To convert from centimeters to kilometers, we divide by 100000. So

2176000/100000 = 21.76

The actual distance is of 21.76 kilometers.

A box has dimensions of 4.0 cm by 8.5 cm by 2.0 cm. The volume of the box in mL is:

Answers

Answer: 68 mL

Step 1: Write volume formula

The formula for volume is often abbreviated into V=l×w×h. This stands for volume= length×width×height.

Step 2: Substitute numbers for answer in cm

To get the answer in cm, simply substitute the numbers into the equation. Then, you may simply multiple them to solve.
V=4.0 cm×8.5 cm×2.0 cm
V= 68 cm

Step 3: Add cubed symbol

Since this is referring to volume, you will need to add the cubed symbol to the end of your answer. This will appear as a number 3 above the cm on the right side.

Step 4: Convert to mL

This is a simple step once you understand the formula to convert. Luckily for us, cm cubed (cm3)= 1 mL. Because of this, the answer will remain as 68 mL
