the local volleyball team hosts a concession stand to raise money. They can spend $120 to purchase popcorn, candy, and drinks. t

Art [367]

To solve this question, I did an equation:
0.75x + 1.20y = 120
0.75(95) + 1.20(35) = 120
Then multiply:
71.25 + 42 = 120
Now to check:
71.25 + 42 = 113.25
Answer: 120 - 113.25 = $6.75 Hope this helps

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$x=30\\y=68\\z=82$

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of the first angle

y = measure of the second angle

z = measure of the third angle

The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)

$y+z=5x$

The third angle is 14 more than the second

$z=y+14$

And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.

$x+y+z=180$

Let's take these equations

$y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180$

If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....

$x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180$

Distribute the + sign

$x+5x=180$

Combine like terms;

$6x=180$

Divide by 6.

$x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30$

We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.

Let's take another equation... for example $z=y+14$

I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.

$x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180$

Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;

$30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\$

Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.

$2y=180-44\\2y=136$

Now divide by 2.

$y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68$

We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.

$x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82$

On a board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following conditions :

board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from 1 to 100

Three colors are used to paint the squares from left to right in the sequence :

one blue, two reds and three green squares in a repeated pattern.

What is the highest numbered square that is painted blue?

The sequence of painting is repeated after :

(1 + 2 + 3) = 6 successive squares

Since the number of squares = 100

Maximum complete repetition possible :

100 / 6 = 16 remainder 4

Hence 16 * 6 = 96 (the highest complete sequence terminates on the square numbered 96)

On the 97th square, another sequence begins which is a blue and the 100th square is painted the first of the 3 green colors.

Hence, the highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97
