Melisande collected 14 bottles on Saturday and 9 bottles on Sunday for recycling. On Monday, she took all the bottles to the rec

ycling center, where they paid her a certain amount, b, for each bottle. However, she had to pay the recycling center a one-time service fee of $0.25. If she left there with $3.20 for the bottles, what is the value of b?
A)$0.14
B)$0.15
C)$0.23
D)$0.69
which is it?

Answer:

Option B is correct that is amount she is getting per bottle is $0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the information that melisande collected 14 bottles on saturday and 9 bottles on sunday

That means she has collected total of 23 bottles

Let us assume that the amount she is paid for recycling is $b

Since, she is left with $3.20 after the amount she gets for bottles we will get the equation below:

23b=3.20

Now, since she has to pay one time service fee equation will become

23b -0.25 =3.20

After simplification we will get

23b=3.20+0.25=3.45

b=3.45/23=.15

b=$0.15

Therefore, The amount she is getting per bottle is $0.15

The height of an arrow shot upward can be given by the formula s = v0t - 16t2, where v0 is the initial velocity and t is time. H

Lina20 [59]

The arrow is at a height of 48 ft after approximately 0.55 seconds and after 5.45 seconds.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The given formula is: $s=V_{0}t-16t^2$

If the initial velocity is 96 ft/s , that means $V_{0}=96$

For finding the time the arrow takes to reach a height of 48 ft, we will plug $s= 48$ into the above formula. So......

$48=96t-16t^2\\ \\ 16t^2-96t+48=0\\ \\ 16(t^2-6t+3)=0\\ \\ t^2-6t+3=0\\ \\ t^2-6t =-3\\ \\ t^2-6t+9=-3+9\\ \\ (t-3)^2 = 6\\ \\ t-3= \pm \sqrt{6} \\ \\ t=3\pm \sqrt{6}\\ \\ t = 5.45 , 0.55$

So, the arrow is at a height of 48 ft after approximately 0.55 seconds and after 5.45 seconds.

How many solutions does a system of linear equations in three variables have if in solving the system you correctly obtain the e

sesenic [268]

Anytime you find an equality that is always true, it means that there are infinitely many solutions.

If you arrive at 12=12, it means that the equations are always equal.

In the Fall STA 2023 Beginning of the Semester Survey, students were asked how many parties they attended every week and how man

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

-95.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As the researcher decided to make the number of parties attended per week the explanatory variable, this would be variable x in the regression line, and of course, the variable y would be the number of text messages sent per day.

After constructing the linear regression equation, the researcher found that an approximate value $\hat y$ for the actual value of y could be represented by the line

$\hat y=64.96+25.41x$

Since this is an approximate value, it is not expected that it coincides with the actual value of y. We define then the residual for each value of x as the difference between the actual value of y and the approximation for the given x.

For the value x = 2 (the student attended 2 parties that week) the actual value of y is 20 (the student sent 20 text messages per day that week).

The approximate value of y would be according to the regression line

$\hat y(2)=64.96+25.41(2)=64.96+50.82=115.78$

Hence, the residual value for x=2 would be

$y_{real}-\hat y=20-115.78=-95.78$

A bag holds 11 beads. 7 are red, the rest are white. Two beads are taken at random from the bag. What is the probability that on

Flura [38]

Answer:

28/55

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of taking a red bead first and a white bead second is:

P(red, white) = (7/11) (4/10)

P(red, white) = 14/55

The probability of taking a white bead first and a red bead second is:

P(white, red) = (4/11) (7/10)

P(white, red) = 14/55

So the probability that one bead of each color is taken is:

P = P(red, white) or P(white, red)

P = 14/55 + 14/55

P = 28/55
