Kevin is having a party and he needs to buy the ingredients to make guacamole. At the first supermarket, he bought 6 limes and 2 avocados for a total of $7.50. Later the same day, he bought 2 more limes and 1 more avocado for a total of $3.00. What was the price of each type of fruit? Let x represent _____________________________ Let y represent _____________________________ System: _____________________
Solution: x = ____________ y = ____________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x represent: the price per lime.

Let y represent: the price per avocado.

System: 6*x + 2*y = $7.50

               2*x + y =$3.00

Solution: x = $0.75     y = $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two variables, x and y.

Let's take x =  price per lime, and y = price per avocado.

We know that when he bought 6 limes and 2 avocados he paid $7.50, so we can write this as:

6*x + 2*y = $7.50

And we also know that when he bought 2 limes and 1 avocado, he paid $3.00

2*x + 1*y = $3.00

Then we have a system of equations:

6*x + 2*y = $7.50

2*x + y =$3.00

Now we want to solve this system,

The first step is isolating one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate y in the second equation:

y = $3.00 - 2*x

Now we can replace this into the other equation:

6*x + 2*($3.00 - 2*x) = $7.50

6*x + $6.00 - 4*x = $7.50

$6.00 +  2*x = $7.50

2*x = $7.50 - $6.00 = $1.50

x = $1.50/2 = $0.75

now we can find the value of y.

y  = $3.00 - 2*x = $3.00 - 2*$0.75 = $1.50

Rufus collected 18 pounds of
aluminum cans to recycle. He
plans to collect an additional 2
pounds each week. He wants to
collect a total of 42 pounds of
aluminum cans. Let x represent
the number of weeks Rufus
collects aluminum cans.

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

collected can=18pound

total can to collect=42

collected can per week=2

now,

42-18 =24

so, remaining cans to collect is 24pound

and,

24/2

=12

so, Rufus have to collect for 12 weeks for 42pound of cans in total

I solved it but I am getting 30 % another friend got 40% please explain to me how and which is right. work: 4/10 =.4 .... .4 x 100 = 40 % Formula percentile over rank

Answers

Answer: C) 40th percentile

=========================================================

Explanation:

The original list is {827,691,616,740,651,772,868,557,891,937} which has 10 items inside it.

The list sorts to {557,616,651,691,740,772,827,868,891,937}

We see that there are 3 items below 691. So one way to calculate the percentile is to do 3/10 = 30% like you did for your answer.

However, the term "percentile" is ambiguous as there is another way to calculate percentile. The other method involves the term in question. So we have 4 terms in the sublist {557,616,651,691} which is how your friend got 4/10 = 40%

It's unfortunate why this term is not well defined. Ideally your teacher would state instructions on how to deal with this dilemma, or post a formula to use.

The good news is at least "30th percentile" isn't listed as an answer choice, so we can rule out the first method above.

The scale of a map says that 4 cm represents 5 km.What is the actual number of kilometers that is represented by 5 centimeters on the map?

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that 4 cm represents 5 km. We want to see how much 5 cm represents.

To get from 4 cm to 5 cm, you multiply by 5/4. So, we multiply our 5 km by 5/4 to see how kilometers are represented by 5 centimeters on the mask.

5(5/4)=6 1/4

Therefore, the number of km represented by 5 cm on the map is 6 1/4 km.

In a regression analysis if SST = 4500 and SSE = 1575, then the coefficient of determination is:___________.A) 0.35B) 0.65C) 2.85D) 0.45

Answers

Answer:

B) 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

In a regression analysis, the formula for the coefficient of determination (R²)=

1 - SSE/SST

SSE = Sum of squared of errors

SST = Total sum of squares

From the above question,

SST = 4500

SSE = 1575

Coefficient of determination (R²) = 1 - 1575/4500

= 1 - 0.35

= 0.65

Therefore, the coefficient of determination = 0.65

The coefficient of determination of the given parameter is (b) 0.65

The given parameters are:

[tex]SST = 4500[/tex] --- the total sum of squares

[tex]SSE = 1575[/tex] --- the sum of squares error

The coefficient of determination (R²) is calculated using the following formula  

[tex]R^2 = \frac{SST - SSE}{SST}[/tex]

Substitute values for SST and SSE

[tex]R^2 = \frac{4500 - 1575}{4500}[/tex]

Simplify the numerator

[tex]R^2 = \frac{2925}{4500}[/tex]

Divide the fraction

[tex]R^2 = 0.65[/tex]

Hence, the coefficient of determination is (b) 0.65

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value obtained using the slope-intercept relation is 3 gallons.

We need to obtain the rate of change which gives the amount of gas entering into his car per second :

Rate of change = Rise / Run

Rate of change = - 11 - 3) / (48 - 0)

Rate of change = 8/48 = 1/6 gallons

Using the slope intercept relation :

y = bx + c b = slope ; c = initial amount of gas

Choosing any pair of (x, y) point on the table :

(0, 3)

3 = 1/6x + c

3 = 1/6(0) + c

3 = 0 + c

c = 3

Therefore, the initial value is 3 gallons.
