. She bought 1.5 pounds of almonds at $6.50 per pound. If cashews cost $5.50 per pound, how many pounds of cashews did she buy?

Answer:

2.5 pounds of cashews.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we have a for pounds of almonds and c for pounds of cashews.

6.5a + 5.5c = 23.5

6.5 * 1.5 + 5.5c = 23.5

9.75 + 5.5c = 23.5

5.5c = 13.75

c = 2.5

So, Ariel bought 2.5 pounds of cashews.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2.5 pounds of cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find out how much money she spent on almonds. To do this we must multiply how many pounds she got by the price per pound. This means we multiply $6.5 by 1.5, which equals $9.75. Now we have to subtract this from the total amount she spent to find how much she spent on cashews. Since $23.50-$9.75=$13.75, she spent $13.75 on cashews. Now all we have to do is divide this by how much it cost per pound to find out how many pounds she bought. Since 13.75/5.5=2.5, she bought 2.5 pounds of cashews.

What are the domain and range of f (x) = (one-fifth) Superscript x?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The domain of the function is all real numbers (-\infty,\infty) and the range is all positive real numbers (0,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function f(x)=(\frac{1}{5} )^x and we want to find the domain and the range.

The function we have is an example of an exponential function f(x)=b^x with b > 0 and b ≠ 1. This types of functions in general have the following properties:

  • It is always greater than 0, and never crosses the x-axis
  • Its domain is the set of real numbers
  • Its Range is the Positive Real Numbers (0,\infty)

The domain of a function is the specific set of values that the independent variable in a function can take on.

When determining domain it is more convenient to determine where the function would not exist.

This function has no undefined points nor domain constraints. Therefore the domain is (-\infty,\infty).

The range is the resulting values that the dependent variable can have as x varies throughout the domain. Therefore the range is (0,\infty).

We can check our results with the graph of the function.

A number written in expanded form is written has the sum of each blank write 39,005 in expanded form
evablogger [386]
When expanding number, we should separate the numbers according to the places like the number 275 written in expanded form 200+70+5. So, in this question we must likely done like this. The number is 39,005 the sum that is written on expanded form is 30,000+9,000+5.

Terrence buys a new car for $20,000. The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year. If f(x) represents the value of the car
Lerok [7]

Answer

The function represents the car’s value after x years.

f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x

Reason

As given

Terrence buys a new car for $20,000.

The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year.

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

Thus

The decrease in the value of car is represented by = a (1 - r)× t

Where a is the original cost

r is the depreciates rate in decimal form

t is time in years.

Here a = $20000 ,r = 0.15 , t = x years

The value of car after x years = 20,000 (1 -0.15)x

                                                 = 20000(0.85)x

Therefore the the value of the car after x years is represented by  f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x .

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track. 19 peop
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

135 in Sport centre: Total

59:swimming pool

31:track

19 both swimming and gym

16 gym and track

4 all three facilities

4 people use all three facilities, then

16 - 4 = 12 people use the gym and the track and do not use the pool;

9 - 4 = 5 people use the pool and the track and do not use the gym;

19 - 4 = 15 people use the gym and the pool and do not use the track.

At least two facilities use 4 + 12 + 5 + 15 = 36 people, 4 of them use all three facilities. Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person which uses at least two facilities, uses all the facilities is

4/36=1/9

Hope this helps!!!
