Sophia was selling tickets at the high school dance. At the end of the evening, she picked up the cash box and noticed a $5 bill

lying on the floor next to it. She said, I wonder whether the dollar belongs inside the cash box or not. The price of tickets for the dance was 1 ticket for $10 (for individuals) or 2 tickets for $15 (for couples). She looked inside the cash box and found $590 and ticket stubs for the 68 students in attendance. Does the $5 bill belong inside the cash box or not? Be sure to show all work and explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

The first thing we will do in this case is to define variables:
 x = number of individual tickets.
 y = number of tickets per couple.
 We have then that the system of equations that represents the problem is:
 10x + 15y = 590
 x + 2y = 68
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 32
 y = 18
 Substituting we have:
 10 (32) + 15 (18) = 590
 320 + 270 = 590
 590 = 590
 Equality is met, therefore the $ 5 bill belongs to the box.
 Answer:
 
the $ 5 bill belong inside the cash box

The system of equations
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.

A newsletter publisher believes that 55% of their readers own a Rolls Royce. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to r
melomori [17]

Set up hypotheses:

The null hypotheses is that the proportion of readers who own a Rolls Royce is equal to 0.55

Null hypotheses = H₀: p = 0.55

The alternate hypotheses is that the proportion of readers who own a Rolls Royce is not equal to 0.55

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: p ≠ 0.55

Determine the  type of test:

Since the alternate hypothesis states that the proportion of readers who own a Rolls Royce is different, therefore it is a two-tailed test.

Determine the level of significance and Critical Z-score:

Given level of significance = 0.05

Since it is a two-tailed test,

Z-score = 1.960 (two tailed)

Set up decision rule:

Since it is a two-tailed test, using a Z statistic at a significance level of 5%

We Reject H₀ if Z < -1.960 or Z > 1.960

We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α

Compute the test statistic:

The test statistic may be calculated using,

$ Z =  \frac{\hat{p} - p}{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }}  $

We are not given enough information to find out the test statistic.

Conclusion:

We do not have enough information to accept or refuse the publisher's claim.

A grocer bought 70 cans of corn. She sold 10 cans that day and 15 cans the next day. How many did she have left?
e-lub [12.9K]

answer

45

step-by-step explanation

total = day1 + day2 + remaining

total = 70

day1 = 10

day2 = 15

plug in values

70 = 10 + 15 + remaining

remaining = 70 - 10 - 15

remaining = 45 cans

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.
