Hi there!
PART A:
The system of equations we would use would be:
x + y = 22 (amount of items)
3x + 1y = 30 (cost)
Variables:
x = the amount of strawberry wafers bought at the price of $3
y = the amount of chocolate wafers bought at the price of $1
PART B:
To solve, we'll use substitution because we can easily isolate a variable using the first equation.
Work:
x + y = 22 (first equation)
y = 22 - x (isolating a variable)
3x + 1y = 30 (second equation)
3x + (22 - x) = 30 (substituting into the second equation)
2x + 22 = 30 (simplifying)
2x = 8 (subtracting)
x = 4 strawberry wafers
4 + y = 22 (substituting x into the first equation to solve for y)
y = 18 chocolate wafers
ANSWER:
They bought 4 strawberry wafers and 18 chocolate wafers.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
Answer:
A. 1, 287 ways
B. 154,440 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
A. We want to choose 5 objects from a total 13, without considering the order in which they are chosen.
The correct way to do this is by using the combination formula since order is not considered;
Thus we have ; 13 C 5 read as 13 combination 5;
Mathematically, n C r is ; n!/(n-r)!r!
Thus, we have ;
13!/(13-8)!8! = 13!/5!8! = 1,287 ways
B. By considering order, we shall be using the permutation formula;
Mathematically n P r = n!/(n-r)!
Read as n permutation r;
Using the numbers involved, we have ; 13 P 5
= 13!/(13-5)! = 13!/8! = 154,440 ways
Answer:A. 10x. B. -2yz
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 4x+7x=11x
11x+(-x) = 11x-1x=10x
B. -5yz+yz=-4yz
-4yz+2yz=-2yz
If these numbers are correct:
For every 242,424 cookies he needs 384,384,384 sprinkles. So how many sprinkles does he need for 606,060 cookies?
242,424/384,384,384 = 606,060/x
384,384,384 * 606,060 = 242,424 * x
232,959,999,767,040 = 242,424 * x
960,960,960 = x
