The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent t

he number of new releases, and let y represent the number of classics. If the librarian had a budget of $500 and wanted to purchase as many DVDs as possible, which values of x and y could represent the number of new-release and classic movies bought?

Answer:

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

The gas tank of a car is filled with a nozzle that discharges gasoline at a constant flow rate. Based on unit considerations of
Cloud [144]

Answer:

It is going 84.12s = 1 minute and 24.12 seconds to fill the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The filling time of a gas tank can be given by a first order function in this format:

F(t) = V - r*t

In which F(t) is the current amount of fuel in the tank(in L), V is the volume of the tank(in L), r is the discharge rate of the tank(in L/s) and t is the time in seconds.

Finding the values of the parameters:

The tank is completly empty, so F(t) = 0.

The volume of the tank is 14 gallons. However, the problem states that the volume of the tank is measured in liters.

Each gallon has 3.78L.

So V = 14*3.78 = 53L

The discharge rate for the gas is 38.0 l/min. However, the problem states that the discharge rate is in L/s. So, to find the value of r, we solve the following rule of three.

38 L - 60s

r L - 1s

60r = 38

r = \frac{38}{60}

r = 0.63

Solving the equation:

F(t) = V - r*t

0 = 53 - 0.63t

0.63t = 53

t = \frac{53}{0.63}

t = 84.12s

It is going 84.12s = 1 minute and 24.12 seconds to fill the tank.

You and a classmate have a bug collection for science class. You find 5 out of every 9 bugs in the collection. You find 4 more bug
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The total number of bugs in the collection is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of bugs that you find out

y ----> the number of bugs that the classmate find out

we know that

\frac{x}{y+x} =\frac{5}{9}  -----> equation A

x=y+4 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (20,16)

The total number of bugs in the collection is

(20+16)=36\ bugs
