So let's say quarters = x and dimes = y. You'd then put x + y = 77 (for a total of 77 coins). And your second equation would be .25x + .10y = 12.50 (.25 for the total value a quarter holds and .10 for a total value a dime holds). Then you'd do matrices on a calculator.

Devon and his friends bought strawberry wafers for $3 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spen
Irina-Kira [14]
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!! :)

Nuetrik [128]
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
a = 58.5 
height = 9

58.5 = 1/2 x base x 9
58.5 = 4.5 x base
base = 13

Mr. James has cylindrical beakers that measure 4 inches in diameter and are 9 inches high. What is the volume contained within t
kirill115 [55]
The equation to find the volume of a cylinder is V = pi•r^2•h.
The radius is half of the diameter.  Since Mr. James' beakers have a diameter of 4, their radius would be 2.  2 squared is 4.
Their height is 9 inches.
V = 3.14•4•9
V = 3.14•36
V = 113.04
The answer is C, or 113.04 cubic inches.

if the sales tax rate is 7.25% in california, then how much would u pay in los angeles for a coat that cost $120.00
natima [27]

Answer:

The amount to be pay for coat is <u>$128.70</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sales tax rate is 7.25% in California.

The cost for a coat in Los angeles is $120.00.

Now, to find amount to be paid.

Sales tax = 7.25%.

Cost = $120.00.

So, amount to be paid = $120 + 7.25% of $120.00.

=120+\frac{7.25}{100} \times 120.

=120+\frac{870}{100}.

=120+8.70

=\$128.70

Therefore, the amount to be pay for coat is $128.70.

Your friend claims that if a line has a slope less than 1, then any line perpendicular to it must have a positive slope. Is your
mezya [45]

Answer:

The friend's claim is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)

Example

A given line has a slope of m_1=1/2  ---> (is less than 1)

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

m_1*m_2=-1

substitute

(1/2)*m_2=-1

m_2=-2

so

the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope

therefore

The friend's claim is not correct
