Answer: b+m= 400  

m= 3b      

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the number of stamps Bria has and m be the number of stamps Matt has.

Given : Bria and Matt have a total of 400 stamps.

i.e. No. of stamps Bria has + No. of stamps Matt has = 400

i.e. In terms of variables b+m= 400        (1)

Also, Matt has three times as many stamps as Bria.

i.e. No. of stamps Matt has = 3 x (No. of stamps Bria has )

i.e. In terms of variables m= 3b        (2)

From (1) and (2) , the system of equations can be used to find the number of stamps Bria has, b, and the number of stamps Matt has, m will be :_

b+m= 400  

m= 3b

A store purchased a DVD for $12.00 and sold it to a customer for 50% more than the purchase price.The customer was charged a 7%
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The customer's total cost for the DVD is $19.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Store buy the dvd for $12.00.

The store price is $12.00+50% more

The store price= $12.00 *(1+0.5)= $18.00

Final price (tax added)= $18.00 + 7%

Final price= $18.00 * (1 + 0.07)= $19.26

Year      Net Profit
1            <span>$14,250.00
2            $15,390.00
3            $16,621.20
4            $17,950.90</span>2

We need to get the increase of the net profit of the current year from the previous year.

Percentage increase = (Current year - Previous Year)/ Previous Year    * 100%

Year 2:  (15,390 - 14, 250) / 14,250   * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 3: (16,621.20 - 15,390) / 15,390 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 4: (17,950.90 - 16,621.20) / 16,621.20 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

Every year the net income increases by 8%. So, the net income in Year 5 will be:

17,950.90 x 1.08 = 19,386.97  Choice D.

Use the position function s(t) = −16t² + 400, which gives the height (in feet) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a
skad [1K]

Answer:

160m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The object can hit the ground when t = a; meaning that s(a) = s(t) = 0

So, 0 = -16a² + 400

16a² = 400

a² = 25

a = √25

a = 5 (positive 5 only because that's the only physical solution)

The instantaneous velocity is

v(a) = lim(t->a) [s(t) - s(a)]/[t-a)

Where s(t) = -16t² + 400

and s(a) = -16a² + 400

v(a) = Lim(t->a) [-16t² + 400 + 16a² - 400]/(t-a)

v(a) = Lim(t->a) (-16t² + 16a²)/(t-a)

v(a) = lim (t->a) -16(t² - a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t²-a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t-a)(t+a)/(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t+a)

But a = t

So, we have

v(a) = -16lim t->a 2a

v(a) = -32lim t->a (a)

v(a) = -32 * 5

v(a) = -160

Velocity = 160m/s

A recent survey shows that the probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6. further, given that the student is over
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive; this means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)

Let A be the event "over 21 years old" and B be the event "drinks alcohol".  

The probability that a student is over 21 years old is 0.3; this is because 30% of the students are over 21 years old.

The probability that a student drinks alcohol given they are over 21 is 0.8.

This gives us

P(A and B) = 0.3(0.8) = 0.24

adoni [48]

complete question:

A ship traveled for a total of 85 miles over the course of 5 hours. Heading west, the ship traveled at an average speed of 14 miles per hour, and heading north, it traveled at an average speed of 19 miles per hour. For how many hours was the ship heading north?

Answer:

The ship heading north traveled for 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A ship travels for a total of 85 miles over the course of 5 hours journey. The speed of the journey can be calculated below.

speed = distance/time

total distance = 85

total time = 5 hours

speed = 85/5

speed = 17  miles/hr

West direction

Heading west the ship traveled at an average speed of 14 miles per hour. The speed can be represented for this journey as follows.

speed = distance/time

14 = dist/time

let

a = time traveled west

distance = 14a

North direction

speed = dist/time

19 = dist/time

time travel north = 5 - a

distance = 19(5 - a)

distance = 95 - 19a

Total distance traveled = 85 miles

85 = 14a + 95 - 19a

85 = -5a + 95

-10 = -5a

a = -10/-5

a = 2

The ship heading north will travel for 5 - 2 = 3 hours
