Mr. Martin is giving a math test next period. The test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is worth either

5 points or 2 points. Write a system of equations that can be used to find how many problems of each point value are on the test. Let x be the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points.
a. x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
b. x + y = 100, 5x + 2y = 29
c. 5x + y = 29, 2y + x = 100
d. 2x + y = 100, 5y + x = 29

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the second sentence , we can deduce that the total number of problems is 29.

Now, x represents the number of problems that award 5 marks, while y represents the number of problems that award 2 marks.

Hence x + y = 29.

There are a total of 100 marks. This mean each x has a mark of 5, so total x marks equal 5x. Also, each y has a mark of 2. total y marks equal 2y. Since total marks equal 100. This mean 5x + 2y = 100 which gives our second equation.

This shows A is correct.

Aloiza [94]

P(A) =0.54

P(B)= 0.68

P'(A)= 1-0.54 = 0.46

P'(B)= 1- 0.68 = 0.32

The probability of neither of both event will occur:

= P'(A)×P'(B)

=0.46 × 0.32

=0.1472

Answer:

P(X < 7) = 0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Counting properly from the diagram attached to the question,

number of trials it took her to make less than 7 shots(i.e. 0 to 6 shots) = 38

The total number of trials she made = 50

Probability that it takes fewer than 7 shots to get her first successful shot, P(X < 7) = (number of trials it took to make less than 7 shots)/(Total number of trials)

P(X < 7) = 38/50

P(X < 7) = 0.76

Answer:

$4.081

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Melissa owns a credit card with a 8.9% APR. The balance after her last billing cycle was $550.      

First of all, we will find period rate by dividing APR by 12 as 1 years equals 12 months.

\text{Period rate}=\frac{8.9\%}{12}=0.74166\%

The finance charge would be 0.74166% of $550.

\text{The finance charge}=\$550\times \frac{0.742}{100}

\text{The finance charge}=\$550\times 0.00742

\text{The finance charge}=\$4.081

Therefore, the finance charge would be $4.081.
