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

A grocer has 2 kinds of tea, one that sells for $8.00 per pound and the other that sells for $6.00 per pound. How many pounds of
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.

Graph the line y = kx +1 if it is known that the point M belongs to it: M(1,3)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

M(x,y) = (1,3) belongs to the line y = 2\cdot x +1. Please see attachment below to know the graph of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we know that a line is represented by this formula:

y=k\cdot x + b

Where:

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

k - Slope, dimensionless.

b - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that b = 1, x = 1 and y = 3, then we clear slope and solve the resulting expression:

k = \frac{y-b}{x}

k = \frac{3-1}{1}

k = 2

Then, we conclude that point M(x,y) = (1,3) belongs to the line y = 2\cdot x +1, whose graph is presented below.

maw [93]

Answer:

0.514

Step-by-step Explantion:

Denominator = 500 = 2^2 * 5^3

257/500 = 257/2^2*5^3 = 2*257/2*2^2*5^3 = 514/2^3*5^3 = 514/(2*5)^3 = 514/10^3 = 0.514

A tire manufacturer has a 60,000 mile warranty for tread life. The company wants to make sure the average tire lasts longer than
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The alternative hypothesis being tested in this example is that the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

H_1: \mu > 60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A tire manufacturer has a 60,000 mile warranty for tread life. The company wants to make sure the average tire lasts longer than 60,000 miles.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of at most 60,000 miles, that is:

H_0: \mu \leq 60,000

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

H_1: \mu > 60,000
