Answer:

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

greatest number of pens =120

greatest number of pencils = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pens

Let y represent the number of pencils.

Each pen costs $0.75

Cost of x pens = 0.75 x

Each pencil costs $0.15.

Cost of y pencils = 0.15y

Now we are given that The glee club has $90 to spend on pens and pencils.

So, $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

So,t the equation that describes the number of club pens and pencils that the glee club can buy is $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part A) $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part B )What is the greatest number of each type of writing tool that the club can buy?

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Substitute y = 0

$0.75x = 90$

$x = \frac{90}{0.75}$

$x = 120$

greatest number of pens =120

Substitute x = 0

$0.15y= 90$

$y = \frac{90}{0.15}$

$y = 600$

greatest number of pencils = 600

Helga [31]

Answer:

$IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 28-18 = 10$

Now we can find the limits in order to determine outliers like this:

$Left = Q_1 -1.5 IQR = 18 -1.5*10=3$

$Right = Q_1 +1.5 IQR = 18 +1.5*10=33$

So for this case the left boundary would be 3, if a value is lower than 3 we consider this observation as an outlier

b. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following summary:

$Minimum = 9$ represent the minimum value

$Q_1 = 18$ represent the first quartile

$Median =Q_2= 21$ represent the median

$Q_3 = 28$ represent the third quartil

$Maximum=56$ represent the maximum

If we use the 1.5 IQR we need to find first the interquartile range defined as:

$IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 28-18 = 10$

Now we can find the limits in order to determine outliers like this:

$Left = Q_1 -1.5 IQR = 18 -1.5*10=3$

$Right = Q_1 +1.5 IQR = 18 +1.5*10=33$

So for this case the left boundary would be 3, if a value is lower than 3 we consider this observation as an outlier

Patient A receives 3 times the amount of a certain medication as Patient B. The two doses add to 200 milligrams. What amount of

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Patient A - 150 mg

Patient B - 50 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since patient A gets three times more, 50 times 3 is 150. 150 plus 50 is 200, therefore, patient A gets 150 mg and patient B gets 50 mg. I hope this helps :)

Pecans that cost $28.50 per kilogram were mixed with almonds that cost $22.25 per kilogram. How many kilograms of each were used

atroni [7]

Answer:

The pecans used in the mixture = 8 kg

The almonds used in the mixture = 17 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of per kg of pecans = $28.50

The cost of per kg of almonds = $22.25

Now, total weight of mixture = 25 kg

Let us assume the weight of pecans in the mixture = m kg

So, the amount of almonds in the mixture = Total weight - Weight of Pecans

= (25 - m) kg

Now, cost of m kg pecans = m x ( cost of 1 kg pecans) = m x ( $ 28.50)

= 28.50 m

cost of (25- m) kg almonds = (25 -m) x ( cost of 1 kg almonds)

= (25 - m) x ( $ 22.25)

= 556.25 - 22.25 m

Total cost of 25 kg of mixture = 25 x ( $24.25) = $606.25

Now, Total Cost of (almonds + Pecans) = Total cost of mixture

⇒28.50 m + 556.25 - 22.25 m = $606.25

or,6.25 m = 50

or, m = 50/6.25 = 8

Hence, the pecans used in the mixture = m = 8 kg

And the almonds used in the mixture = (25 - m) = 25 - 8 = 17 kg
