Answer:

The number of large size candles sells are 12 and the number of small size candles are 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Sia sells large candles for $3 each and small candles for $2 each.

She sold 17 candles for $46.00.

Let us assume that the large size candle sells are x .

Let us assume that the small size candle sells are y.

Equation becomes

x + y = 17

3x + 2y = 46

Multiply x + y = 17 by 3 and subtracted from 3x + 2y = 46 .

3x - 3x + 2y - 3y = 46 - 51

-y = - 5

y = 5

Put in the equation x + y = 17 .

x + 5 = 17

x = 17 - 5

x = 12

Therefore the number of large size candles sells are 12 and the number of small size candles are 5 .

which is closest to the 70.1 whereas other options do not satisfy the condition.

The quotient of 9 3/4 and 5/8​
suter [353]

Answer:

15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 9\frac{3}{4} = \frac{39}{4}  
  2. Plug 39/4 in: 39/4 ÷ 5/8
  3. 39/4 ÷ 5/8 = 39/4 × 8/5
  4. 39/4 × 8/5 = 312/20
  5. \frac{312}{20} = 15.6  

I hope this helps!

Diane reed had office supply sales of $3,285 this month. this is a 78% of last months supply sales. what was the amount of last
Hoochie [10]

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation, letting the unknown value of last month's supply sales be represented by the variable x.

First, we must convert 78% to its decimal equivalent, by dividing 78/100. This is because percentages are parts of a whole 100 percent.

78/100 = 0.78

Now, we are ready to set up our equation, using our knowledge that the word "of" refers to multiplication in mathematics.

3,285 = 0.78x

To solve our equation, we must divide both sides of the equation by 0.78 to get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 4211.53846154

This means that last month's supply sales were about $4,211.54 (we round the last digit up because 8 is greater than 5).

Hope this helps!

Two identical decks of 52 cards are mixed together, yielding a stack of 104 cards. How many different ways are there to order th
kumpel [21]

Answer:

here the order will be 104! =1.029e^{166}

Step-by-step explanation:

since the cards are to arranged in  no particular order that is why we used combination to find the result.

Combination can simply be explained as the method of selecting items from a collection of items where the order of the selections does not matter.

Write an inequality and show on a number line all numbers: greater than (−3) but less than or equal to 3
Vitek1552 [10]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

To write an inequality and show on a number line all numbers: greater than (−3) but less than or equal to 3

Let n be the number, then -3 < n ≤3 .

On number line we mark open circle at -3 (since it has a strictly less than sign) and a closed circle at 3  (since it has a less than and equal to sign) .

To the required inequality that shows all the numbers greater than (−3) but less than or equal to 3 : -3 < n ≤3 and the number line is represented below.
