. 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.

Travka [436]

Answer:

93.25% probability that they have taken this steroid

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test

Event B: Taking the steroid.

Suppose the probability of an athlete taking a certain illegal steroid is 10%.

This means that P(B) = 0.1

Given that the athlete has taken this steroid, the probability of a positive test result is 0.995.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.995

Positive test:

99.5% of 10%(If the athlete has taken).

100-99.2 = 0.8% of 100-10 = 90%(Athlete has not taken)

Then

P(B) = 0.995*0.1 + 0.008*0.9 = 0.1067

Given that a positive test result has been observed for an athlete, what is the probability that they have taken this steroid

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1*0.995}{0.1067} = 0.9325

93.25% probability that they have taken this steroid

Row 2:                   1    2    1

Row 3:                 1    3    3     1

Row 4:               1   4   6     4     1

=========================================

Explanation:

This is known as Pascal's Triangle. Each value, other than the '1's, is found by adding the values directly above it. For instance, the '4' is the result of 1+3, and the 6 is a result of 3+3, and so on.

You can use the nCr combination formula to find the same values.

Alternatively you can expand out binomials of the form (x+y)^n, for integer values of n, and you'll find the coefficients of the terms match perfectly with Pascal's Triangle.

lianna [129]

Answer: A

n-4(32.5) > 300;n > 430tep-by-step explanation:

given that Zack wants to make a profit of more than $300 for painting 4 identical rooms. That is

Profit > $300

Then, the profit he makes is equal to the amount he is paid minus the cost of supplies. The cost of supplies is $32.50 for each room. That is

n - 32.5 and

P + 32.5 × 4

Where 4 = number of rooms

P + 130

The minimum profit = 300 + 130 = $430

Therefore, the inequality and solution that represent the dollar amount, n, that zack must be paid for each room if he is to make a profit of more than 300$ is

n-4(32.5) > 300;n > 430
