Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7

pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation 5 v plus 7 f equals 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (Round to the nearest cent, as needed.

Answer:

one dollar 75 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

lets write the original equation again

5v+7f=28.70

now, lets put in the cost of the fruit to find cost of veggies

5v+7(2.85)=28.70

5v+19.95=28.70

5v=8.75

5=1.75

Answer:

Answer: $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pint of fruit = $2.85

7 pints of fruit = 2.85 x 7 = 19.95

5 pints of veggies will cost

28.70 - 19.95 = 8.75

Each pint of veggies = 8.75 / 5 = 1.75

Surface-finish defects in a small electric appliance occur at random with a mean rate of 0.3 defects per unit. find the probabil
mario62 [17]

Answer: Probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface- finish defect is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean rate defects per unit = 0.3

Since we will use "Poisson distribution":

P(X=K)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^k}{k!}

But we need to find the probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface-finish defect.

P(X\geq 2)=1+P(X=0)+P(X=1)

So,

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-0.3}0.3^0}{0!}=e^{-0.3}=0.74\\\\P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-0.3}\times 0.3}{1}=0.22

so, it becomes,

P(X>2)=1-(0.74+0.22)=1-0.96=0.04

Hence, probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface- finish defect is 0.04.

FWML is a parallelogram. Find the values of x and y. Solve for the value of z, if z=x−y.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

x = 5, y = 8, z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent so to find x:

x + 7 = 3x - 3

-2x = -10

x = 5

To find y:

y + 2 = 2y - 6

-y = -8

y = 8

Therefore, z = x - y = 5 - 8 = -3.

It takes 40 min for a bus to travel the 36 miles from Framingham to Worcester. A car traveling from Worcester to Framingham move
MArishka [77]

The velocity of the bus is:

velocity (bus) = 36 miles / 40 min

velocity (bus) = 0.9 miles / min

 

Since the car is 1.5 times faster, so the velocity of the car is:

velocity (car) = 1.5 * 0.9 miles / min

velocity (car) = 1.35 miles / min

 

At the meeting point, the sum of the distance is equal to 36 miles. Therefore:

1.35 t + 0.9 t = 36

2.25 t = 36

t = 16 min

 

So they will meet after 16 minutes.

11. The sales tax rate is 6.9%
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

40.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that 192 is in 100%.

100% = 192

I then represent the value that we are looking for with x.

x% = 77

By dividing both equations (100% = 192 and x% = 77) and remembering that both left hand sides of BOTH equations have the percentage unit (%).

\frac{100}{x} = \frac{77}{192}

Now, of course, we take the reciprocal, or inverse, of both sides:

\frac{x}{100} = \frac{7}{192}

x = 40.1%

Thus making the answer: 40.1% of 192 is 77.
