Here are the equations
x+y=48
x/y=5/8


but here's how I would solve it

5+7=12
48=12units
divide by 12 both sides
4=1unit

males=5 unit
4=1unit
times 5
20=5unit=males

females=7unit
4=1unit
times 7
28=7unit=females

Answer: x+y=48

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of males on the ride. Let y represent the number of females on the ride.

As per given , we have ,

x+y=48---(i)

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y---(ii)

From (i) and (ii), the required  two linear equations form a system that you can use to find the number of males and the number of females on the ride are :

x+y=48

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y

A company that is selling computer tablets has determined that it regularly makes a net profit of $180 for each computer tablet
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Considering the prediction of people who will fill out the form and receive the refund, the company should expect its net profit to drop to:

  • <u>$174.6 per computer tablet</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The benefit per tablet before the rebate program is $180 per computer tablet, however, once the rebate program is implemented, 18% of people who purchase their computer tablet are expected to complete the form and obtain the VISA card, which would reduce the benefit as shown below:

  • 18% benefit from computer tablets = original benefit - refund value.
  • 18% benefit from computer tablets = $180 - $30 = $150

With this we identify that 18% of computer tablets will have a benefit reduced to $150, however, as the remaining percentage of tablets (82%) will still have the benefit of $180, the general benefit must be calculated to have a single value, as it's shown in the following:

  • Overall benefit = Percentage of tablets with reimbursement * Benefit of tablets with reimbursement + Percentage of tablets without reimbursement * Benefit of tablets without reimbursement.
  • General profit = 18% * 150 + 82% * 180
  • <u>General profit = $ 174.6 </u>

By having a $ 30 rebate on 18% of the tablets, the overall benefit drops to $174.6.

A sand dune stands 5 feet above sea level. The hill is eroding at a rate of 1 foot per 20 years. Let y represent the height of t
Andrews [41]
The situation will be represented by linear equation, this is given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=slope=rate
b=y-intercept
from our situation:

a=-1/20
b=5 ft
thus the equation modeling the situation will be:
y=-1/20x+5

Answer: y=-1/20x+5

Towns p,q and s are shown Q is 35km due east of P Snis 15km due west of p r is 15km due south of p work out the bearing of r fro
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Check attachment for diagram

From the diagram, we can apply Pythagoras theorem to right angle triangle RPS

Then,

Tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Tan θ = 15 / 15

Tan θ = 1

θ = arcTan(1)

θ = 45°

The angle is between the east and south

Then, the bearing of 45°S of east.

The direction is also β

Where

β + θ = 360°

β + 45 = 360°

β = 360 - 45

β = 315°

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. The cards have one of two colors: 26 cards in the deck are red and 26 are black. The card
ehidna [41]

Answer:

S={(heart), (diamond), (club), (spade)}

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, a set is a well-defined collection of objects, product of an independent successful operation.

A sample space is the combination of all possible outcomes in an operation, so in this case, when we select one card and record the denomination, then we need to check what characteristic from the card are we looking for, from the problem we can see that is the denomination by itself, not the color, the number of the card, or anything else, and we only have 4 options of denomination so the sample space would be:

S={(heart), (diamond), (club), (spade)}

Credit to this answer goes to @ibranoguera

Hope this helps :))
