Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.

63 pieces were sold at the new price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.

Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.

They sold some of their pottery at the original price of​ $9.50 for each​ piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x

They later decreased the price of each piece by​ $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5

This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y

If they sold all 90 pieces and took in ​$729​, then the equations are

x + y = 90

9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729

855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729

- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855

- 2y = - 126

y = - 126/- 2 = 63

Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes

x = 90 - 63 = 27

How many more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced last year gasoline 34% diesel 29% total crude oil -60 million barrel
MArishka [77]

Answer: 3 million barrels


Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Total crude oil= 60 million barrels

Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil

=0.34\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=20.4\text{ million barrels}

Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil

=0.29\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=17.4\text{ million barrels}

Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel

difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel

20.4\text{ million barrels}-17.4\text{ million barrels}\\=3\text{ million barrels}

Therefore, The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.

1.How much taller Porter is than Henry, given that Porter is n inches tall and Henry is m inches tall. 2.How many times as tall
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Porter is n-m inches taller than Henry.

Porter is \frac{n}{m} times taller than henry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height can be found using subtraction.

Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.

n = Porter's height

m = Henry's height

Difference in height is thus:

n-m

Answer: Porter is n-m inches taller than Henry.

To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.

An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.

If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...

\frac{200}{100}=2

..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.

Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.

\frac{n}{m}

Answer: Porter is \frac{n}{m} times taller than henry.

If mc022-1.j pg and mc022-2.j pg, what is the value of (f – g)(144)? –84 –60 0 48
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = √(x) + 12

g(x) = 2√(x)

(f-g)(x) = √(x) + 12 - 2√(x)

(f-g)(x) = 12 - √(x)

if x = 144

(f-g)(144) = 12 - √(144) = 12 - 12 = 0
