Answer:

The correct answer to this question is C: (72,24).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

The cost of 1 cap is $5 each

The cost of 1 t-shirt is $10 each

Let x be the number of caps sold

Let y be the number of t-shirt sold

In the context we are given that the drama club needs to raise at least $500 to go on the trip.

So based on this information we can create a inequality as:

the number of caps sold x (times) the cost of a single cap + the number of shirts x (times) the cost of a single t-shirt ≥ (greater than or equal to) 500

Inequality: 5x+10y ≥ 500 ( We used a greater than or equal to symbol because it said that the drama club need <u>at least</u> $500 for the trip.

Next we need to figure out how many caps and t-shirt were sold.

- We can already take out two of the options which are the two answer with negatives in them because we know that when you multiply a positive number with a negative number we get a negative number and we don't want that. (So Option A and Option D are out.)

Now all we do is plug x and y into our inequality equation ( 5x+10y ≥ 500 )

B) x=65 caps, y= 17.5 t-shirts ----> 5(65)+10(17.5) =500 which you get $500

<u>YOU MAY THINK THIS IS THE ANSWER BUT! if you look closely at variable y it said they sold 17.5 t-shirt, but here there thing how do you sell 17 shirts and a half of shirt?</u> Which means this option is also wrong!

C) x =72 caps, y =24 t-shirts ------> 5(72)+ 10(24)= $600 <u>which is more than the original amount they were going for because it said </u><u>at least $500.</u>

<u />

So the correct option to this question is C, they sold 72 caps and 24 t-shirts and earned $600 dollars.

Greta is taking a road trip from Cincinnati to San Francisco. On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours. On the second d
abruzzese [7]

Given:

On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours.

On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours.

To find:

Difference between average speed of second day and first day.

Solution:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours.  So, the average speed is

Speed=\dfrac{650}{10}

Speed=65

So, the average speed on first day is 65 miles per hour.

On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours.

Speed=\dfrac{540}{8}

Speed=67.5

So, the average speed on second day is 67.5 miles per hour.

Difference between average speed is

67.5-65=2.5

Therefore, the average speed on the second day is 2.5 miles per hour is faster than first day.

Here are the ingredients to make 12 cupcakes.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Mark needs 2 kg butter, 2 kg caster sugar, 14 eggs, and 1.5 kg flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, first you double the number of kids, as Mark wants each kid to have two cupcakes, not one. (Then add 80+80 to get 160)

Now add the adults to children: 160+152=312

now divide by 12 to see how many batches of cupcakes he needs to make.

312÷12=26 So he needs to make 26 batches

Now here are the ingredients needed to make 12 batches of cupcakes (I multiplied the amount of each ingredient by 26)

5200 g (5.2 kg) butter, 5200 g (5.2 kg) caster sugar, 104 eggs, and 6500 g (6.5 kg) flour.

now make the measurements the same as Mark's ingredients (or the other way around)

(to save time I am not showing each one, just the normal ingredients turned into kg and compared)

5 kg butter < 5.2 kg butter

5 kg caster sugar < 5.2 kg butter

90 eggs < 104 eggs

5 kg flour < 6.5 kg flour

Now do a little subtraction.....

5.2 kg-5 kg = 2 kg butter is needed....

5.2 kg - 5 kg = 2 kg caster sugar is needed....

104 - 90 = 14 eggs needed....

6.5 kg - 5 kg = 1.5 kg flour needed....

And there you go!!! Hope this helped!!! :D

Gus has skydived four more times than Niko Emma has skydive twice as many times as Nico if Emma has skydived 16 times, how many
ad-work [718]

Answer: Gus skydived 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

G = number of times that Gus skydives

N = number of times that Nico skydives

E= number of times that Emma skydives

Gus skydives 4 times as much as Nick

This means G = 4N

Emma skydives 2 times as much as Nick.

This means E= 2N

If Emma has skydived 16 times,

That means E = 16

Put E = 16 in E= 2N,

16 =2N

N= 16/2 = 8

Put N= 8 in G = 4N

G =4×8 = 32

Gus skydived 32 times

Check

Nick skydived 8 times

Emma skydived 16 times

The domain is
{x | x >=0}
Or simply [0, infinity)
Since Haley can not use any negative minutes.

The range is

Or simply [20, infinity)
This is because if Haley doesn't use any minutes, the price will stay at $20.
