Answer:

Therefore Josiah must sell 68 or 69 or 70 tacos in order to meet the requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Josiah owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos.

He sells each burritos for $7.50. If 79 burritos were sold.

Then the price of 79 burritos is $(7.50×79) =$592.50

Let x tacos were sold.

He sells each tacos for $5.

Then the price of x tacos is = $(x × 5)=$5x

Also given that Josiah must sell a minimum of $930 worth of tacos and burritos.

Therefore,

5x+592.50≥ 930

⇔5x≥930-592.50

⇔5x≥337.5

⇔x≥67.5

But he only has enough supplies to make 149 tacos or burrito.

He already sold 79 burrito.

So, remain space for tacos is = (149-79) = 70

So,67.5≤x≤70

∴x = 68 or 69 or 70

Therefore Josiah must sell 68 or 69 or 70 tacos in order to meet the requirement.

A combination washer/dryer costs $1,179. New parts for this washer/dryer cost $211, labor to repair it costs $553, and shipping

Keith_Richards [23]

The better deal is the Full Warranty, by approximately 174 dollars. To solve the cost of the full warranty, simply multiply 30 percent times the cost of the washer/dryer.30 x 1,179 = 353.70. You do not need to add anything to this because the warranty covers the extra costs. To solve for the cost of the limited warranty, multiply 14 percent times the cost of the washer/dryer, plus the cost of the new parts and the repair center costs (the warranty only covers the labor repair costs): (.14 x 1,179) + 211 + 152 --> 165.06 + 211 + 152 = 528.06. The full warranty is clearly cheaper. To figure out by how much, simply subtract the full warranty from the limited warranty: 528.06 - 353.70 = 174.36. To round to the nearest number, take off the decimal: 174. So that means your answer is D hope this helps.

The Smith family has three children: Tom, John, and Andy. Tom is younger than Andy. John is not older than Tom. From youngest to

blagie [28]

Here, we have to analyse the words and ages

The first statement is "Tom is younger than Andy" means Andy is older than Tom. So first comes Andy and then Tom. Let's Rank Andy =1 and Tom = 2 with 1 assigned to the older.

Now, the next statement is "John is not older than Tom" This means John is younger than Tom. This also means Tom is older than John. So John would become the youngest and hence we assign John = 3 (meaning the youngest)

Ordering from Youngest to oldest would be John (Rank 3), Tom (Rank 2) and Andy (Rank 1)

To conclude the order from youngest to oldest would be John,Tom,Andy
