A couch and coffee table cost a total of $1017. The cost of the couch is two times the cost of the coffee table. Find the cost of each item.
cost of couch:
cost of coffee:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the concept of linear equations, we made two equations. Solving those two equations, we find that the cost of couch is $678 and that of coffee is $339.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: Let the cost of couch be $x and that of coffee be $y. The total cost is $1017, so,

x + y = 1017

Also, the cost of couch is two times that of coffee. So,

x = 2y

Substitute the value of x in first equation

2y + y = 1017

3y = 1017

y = 339

And, x + y = 1017

x + 339 = 1017

x = 678

Using the two equations, we find that y = $339 and x = $678.

So, the cost of couch is $678 and that of coffee is $339.

A bag contains 6 blue marbles, 10 red marbles, and 9 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn at random without replacement, what is the probability that two red marbles are drawn?

Answers

So since there are 6 blue marbles, 10 red marbles, and 9 green marbles, that means that there are 25 marbles in total.  This means the chance of pulling ONE red marble is 10/25 which simplifies to 2/5.  If you want to pull 2 red marbles, you'd multiply the chance of pulling one marble to the chance of pulling one marble. (2/5 times 2/5)
You'd get 4/10. Which is a 40% percent chance.
(not completely sure about this one..)
6 blue, 10 red, 9 green...for a total of 25 marbles

P(1st one drawn is red) = 10/25 reduces to 2/5

P(2nd one drawn is red) = 9/24 reduces to 3/8

P(both events happening) = 2/5 * 3/8 = 6/40 reduces to 3/20 <=

2x + 6 = 3y
x + 12 = 4y

Solve the second equation for x:

x = 4y - 12

Substitute in the first equation.

2(4y - 12) + 6 = 3y

8y - 24 + 6 = 3y

8y - 18 = 3y

5y = 18

y = 18/5

x + 12 = 4y

x + 12 = 4(18/5)

x = 72/5 - 60/5

x = 12/5

Answer: x = 12/5; y = 18/5

What is compound interest?

The interest charged on a loan or deposit is known as compound interest. In our day-to-day lives, it is the concept we use the most. The amount's compound interest is based on both the principal and the interest earned over time. This is the primary distinction between simple and compound interest.

Given annually increase rate of computers = R =  23.2%

people own computer in 1990 = 1/2 million = 0.5 million

let no. of people own computer in 2015 be x

compound interest for annually increase in rate is p[tex](1 + R/100)^{t}[/tex]

where t = time and R = rate

Time = 2015 - 1990 = 25 years

x = 0.5(1 + 23.2/100)²⁵

x = 0.5(1.232)²⁵

x = 0.5 × 184.1906

x = 92.0953 million

Hence 92.0953 million people own computer in 2015.

Harry works for a major sporting goods distributor. He earns a base salary of $30,000 per year and 5% commission on his sales. How much will Harry need to sell to earn $50,000 by the end of the year?

Answers

He needs to sell $400,000 worth of goods.

Base salary = $30000

Percent Commission = 5%

Let the amount of goods that need to be sold be represented by x

Therefore, the equation will be:

30000 + (5% × x) = 50000

30000 + (0.05 × x) = 50000

30000 + 0.05x = 50000

Collect like terms

0.05x = 50000 - 30000

0.05x = 20000

x = 20000/0.05

x = 400000

Therefore, he needs to sell $400,000 worth of goods.

If a car rental costs $35 per day plus $0.79 per mile, and you are traveling for 4 days, 389 miles, how much is the total rental?

Answers

35$×4=140$ rental costs for 4 days
0,79$×389=307,31$ for the miles you drove
140$+307,31$= 447,31$
So the total rent is 447,31$

Answer:

Total rent costing for traveling for 4 days, 389 miles is $447.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a car rental costs $35 per day plus $0.79 per mile.

We have to find the total rent costing for traveling for 4 days, 389 miles.

Since, Cost of car rent per day is $35

Thus, Cost of car rent for 4 days is $ 35 × 4 = $140

Also, Cost of car rent per miles is $0.79

Thus, Cost of car rent for  389 miles is $ 0.79 × 389 = $307.31

Thus, total car rental cost = Cost of car rent for 4 days + Cost of car rent for  389 miles.

Total car rental cost = $140 +  $307.31

Total car rental cost = $447.31

Thus, total rent costing for traveling for 4 days, 389 miles is $447.31

Answer:  B. A parallelogram with a pair of congruent consecutive sides and diagonals that are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a parallelogram is a quadrilateral having congruent opposite  sides and its diagonals bisect each other.

A square is a kind of parallelogram having all its consecutive sides equal and both diagonals congruent to each other.

Its all 4 angles are right angle.

let's check all the statements :

A. A parallelogram with a pair of congruent consecutive sides and diagonals that bisect each other.

→It can be rhombus ∵ it also has same characteristics.

B. A parallelogram with a pair of congruent consecutive sides and diagonals that are congruent.

→ It only occurs in square.

C. A parallelogram with a right angle and diagonals that are congruent .

→ it can be a rectangle ∵ it has all its angles right angle and diagonals are congruent.

D. A parallelogram with diagonals that bisect each other.

→ It is the basic property of parallelogram , it can describe a rhombus or rectangle both.

The statement that must be true is (b) A parallelogram with a pair of congruent consecutive sides and diagonals that are congruent.

How does the graph of g(x) = 1/x+4-6 compare to the graph of the parent function f(x)=1/x ?

Answers

you can recall that
f(x-c) is shifting to the right by c units
f(x+c) is shifting to the left by c units
f(x)+c is shifting up by c units
f(x)-c is shifting down by c units
given that f(x)=1/x
g(x)=f(x+4)-6 thus f(x) is shifted to the left 4 units and down 6 units
Answer with explanation:

We are given a parent function f(x) as:

       [tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

and the transformed function g(x) is given by:

       [tex]g(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+4}-6[/tex]

We know that the transformation of the type:

     f(x) → f(x+a)

is either a shift a units to the left or to the right depending whether a is positive or negative respectively.

Also, the transformation of the type:

   f(x) → f(x)+a

is the shift of the function f(x) either upward or downward depending on whether x is positive or negative respectively.

Here the function g(x) is:

     [tex]g(x)=f(x+4)-6[/tex]

This means that the function g(x) is a shift of the function f(x) 4 units to the left and then it is translated 6 units downward.

Also we may see by the graph.

[tex]=\dfrac{21}{4}\times\dfrac{-2}{5}=\dfrac{-21}{10}=-\dfrac{20+1}{10}=-2\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

Answers

Total possible outcomes are= 6×6=36

For example, if you roll a 1 on the blue dice, you cannot roll another 1 (since 1 is not bigger than 1). 

Rolling a 2, you'd have 4 possible choices left (you cannot roll a 1 or 2 since they are less than 2). 

(1/6)<-- picking a 1/2/3/4/5/6 out of everything;

(1/6)(5/6)=5/36 <-- (5/6) possibilities of picking a number bigger than 1
(1/6)(4/6)=4/36 <-- (4/6) possibilities of picking a number bigger than 2
(1/6)(3/6)=3/36
(1/6)(2/6)=2/36 
(1/6)(1/6)=1/36 
(1/6)(0)=0 <-- Impossible to get a number bigger than 6 in a normal dice 

Add all of them together; 

(5+4+3+2+1+0)/36=15/36

Therefore, there are 15/36 possibilities of the red die showing a number larger than that of the blue die.

If a student answered all the questions on the quiz and had c correct answers, her score on the quiz was 25c – 10(15 – c). How many questions were on the quiz?

Answers

Given that the score of the student on the quiz was 25c - 10(15 - c)

It can be seen that the first term of expression for her score (i.e. 25c) shows that 25 marks were awarded to each correct answer.

The second term of the expression (i.e. 10(15 - c)) represent that 10 marks were deducted from each wrong answer.

Thus, the number of wrong answers is 15 - c.

The sum of the correct answers and the wrong answers gives the total number of questions in the quiz.

Thus, the total number of questions in the quiz is given by 15 - c + c = 15.

Therefore, there are 15 questions in the quiz.
