Answer:

A had 22 mangoes, B had 26 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following system:

A + 10 = 2(B - 10) -- Equation 1

3(A - 10) = B + 10 -- Equation 2

A + 10 = 2B - 20 → A = 2B - 30 -- Equation 3 (Simplify Equation 1)

3(2B - 30 - 10) = B + 10 -- Equation 4 (Substitute 3 into 2)

3(2B - 40) = B + 10

6B - 120 = B + 10

5B = 130

B = 26 -- (Solve for B in Equation 4)

A = 2 * 26 - 30 = 22 -- (Substitute B = 26 into Equation 3)

The yearly cost in dollars, y, for a member at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y =y equals Start
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Yearly Cost for members; y = \frac{1}{10}x + 6

Required

Determine the yearly cost for non members

From the question, we understand that:

<em>A non member pays $0.20 for each game;</em>

Yearly cost is then calculated as thus;

y = Amount * Number of Games

Where:

Amount = $0.2 and Number of Games = x

y = 0.20 * x

Convert 0.2 to fraction

y = \frac{2}{10} * x

Divide the numerator and the denominator by 2

y = \frac{1}{5} * x

y = \frac{1}{5}x

<em>Hence, the yearly cost for non members is </em>

y = \frac{1}{5}x

Which pairs of angles in the figure below are vertical angles?
ch4aika [34]

Answer: Option A and Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to know the definition of "Vertical Angles".

When two lines intersect or cross, there are a pair of angles that share the same vertex and they are opposite each other. This pair of angles are known as "Vertical angles".

By definition, Vertical angles are congruent, which means that the have the equal measure.

In this case, you can observe in the picture provided in the exercise that the line TI and the line WN intersect each other at the point S.

You can identify that the pair of angles that are opposite to each other and share the same vertex are the shown below:

\angle ISN  and \angle TSW

\angle TSN and \angle ISW

A committee of 15 members is voting on a proposal. Each member casts a yea or nay vote. On a random voting basis, what is the pr
Igoryamba

Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so p = 0.5

15 members:

This means that n = 15

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003

P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003

So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Jose wants to start a restaurant and is writing a business proposal. His rent is $1,000 per month. The monthly operating costs a
Harman [31]

Answer:

Revenue =  5( 1000 + w+ k)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets calculate expenses first

rent = $1000

wages = w

overhead cost = k

Total cost = rent + wage+ overhead

Total cost = 1000 + w+ k

Given Jose wants his monthly sales revenue, x, to be 4 times greater than the operating costs

Let revenue be R

Thus, putting the statement mathematically

revenue - total cost = 4 * operating cost

R - ( 1000 + w+ k) = 4( 1000 + w+ k)

R =  4( 1000 + w+ k) + ( 1000 + w+ k)

R =  5( 1000 + w+ k)

Thus, revenue should be  5( 1000 + w+ k).

VashaNatasha [74]
<h3>The medians does'nt support the conclusion</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Robin's scores: 99, 108, 102, 107, 119

Order the number from least to greatest

99, 102, 107, 108, 119

Median is the middle value of data set

Median is 107

Evelyn's scores: 125, 137, 138, 145, 145

Order the number from least to greatest

125, 137, 138, 145, 145

Medain is 138

The median of Evelyn's scores is greater than the median of Robin's

Therefore, the medians does'nt support the conclusion.
