The drama club is selling short-sleeved shirts for $5 each, and long-sleeved shirts for $10 each. They hope to sell all of the s

hirts they ordered, to earn a total of $1,750. After the first week of the fundraiser, they sold StartFraction one-third EndFraction of the short-sleeved shirts and StartFraction one-half EndFraction of the long-sleeved shirts, for a total of 100 shirts.
This system of equations models the situation.
5x + 10y = 1,750
x + A system of equations. 5 x plus 10 y equals 1,750. StartFraction one-third EndFraction x plus StartFraction one-half EndFraction y equals 100.y = 100
Let x represent the number of short-sleeved shirts ordered and let y represent the number of long-sleeved shirts ordered.
How many short-sleeved shirts were ordered?

Answer:

<u>The drama club ordered 150 short-sleeved shirts and 100 long-sleeved shirts</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

5x + 10y = 1,750

1/3x + 1/2y = 100

x = number of short-sleeved shirts ordered

y = number of long-sleeved shirts ordered

Resolving the 1st equation:

5x + 10y = 1,750

5x = 1,750 - 10y

x = 350 - 2y (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

Resolving  the 2nd equation:

1/3x + 1/2y = 100

1/3 (350 - 2y) + 1/2y = 100

350/3 -2y/3 + 1/2y = 100

700 - 4y + 3y = 600 (Lowest common denominator = 6)

-y = 600 - 700 (Subtracting 700 at both sides)

<u>y = 100</u> (Dividing by - 1)

Finding the value of x in the 1st equation:

5x + 10 (100) = 1,750

5x + 1,000 = 1,750

5x = 1,750 - 1,000 (Subtracting 1,000 at both sides)

5x = 750

<u>x = 150</u> (Dividing by 5)

2. Proving that x = 150 and y = 100 are correct

1/3x + 1/2y = 100

1/3 * 150 + 1/2 * 100 = 100

150/3 + 100/2 = 100

50 + 50 = 100

100 = 100

<u>We proved that x = 150 and y = 100 are correct</u>

Using Normal Distribution to Analyze Data Martin suspects that people carry less cash with them than they used to because of cre
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 95

X=cash carried by the persons

x bar = 8.00

s = sample std dev = 2.50

Std error = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } =\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{95} } \\=0.2565

Hence Z score would be

\frac{x-8}{0.2565}

a) P(X

-0.00

b) P(9

c) 95% conf interval margin of error = ±1.96*0.2565

=±0.54782

Confi interval = (8-0.5027, 8+0.5027)

= (7.4923, 8.5027)

C)If conf level increases, then width of interval would increase since critical value would increase.

If sample size increases std error would decrease and hence margin of error.

So interval would decrease.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

0.08 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a small marble statue of Mozart that is 10 inches tall and is made of 16 cu. inches of marble.

The original statue in Vienna is 7 feet tall.

First we will convert this to inches as one relation is given in inches.

1 feet = 12 inches

7 feet = 12\times7=84 inches

Let the amount of marble used for 84 inches statue be = x

We can relate both the conditions in the following way:

\frac{10}{16} =\frac{84}{x}

10x=16\times84

10x=1344

x = 134.40 cubic inches

Now, 1 cubic inch = \frac{1}{1728} cubic foot

So, 134.40 cubic inches = \frac{134.40}{1728} cubic foot

= 0.0777 cubic feet rounding to 0.08 cubic feet.

A karate center has 120 students. The director wants to set a goal to motivate her instructors to increase student enrollment. U
iVinArrow [24]
A) Plan A requires for a percentage increase of a number of students. This means that year after year the number of new students will increase. Plan B requires for a constant number of new students each year. This means that year after year the percentage increase would get smaller.

B) To solve this problem we will use formula for a growth of population:
final = initial * (1+percentage)^{t}
Where:
final = final number of students
initial = initial number of students
percentage = requested percentage increase
t = number of years

We can insert numbers and solve for t:
240= 120* (1+0.12)^{t}  \\ 2=1.12^{t}   \\ log2=log(1.12^{t} ) \\ log2=t*log1.12 \\ t= \frac{log2}{log1.12}  \\ t=6.12years

For Plan B we can use simple formula
increase = 120
increase per year = 20
number of years = increase / (increase per year) = 120 / 20 = 6 years

Plan B is better to double the <span>enrollment.


C)We use same steps as in B) to solve this.
</span>

360= 120* (1+0.12)^{t} \\ 3=1.12^{t} \\ log3=log(1.12^{t} ) \\ log3=t*log1.12 \\ t= \frac{log3}{log1.12} \\ t=9.69years

For Plan B we can use simple formula
increase = 240
increase per year = 20
number of years = increase / (increase per year) = 240 / 20 = 12 years

Plan A is better to triple the enrollment.
