Answer:

The answer to this question is C: (72,24).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided:

The price of one cap is $5

The price of one t-shirt is $10

Let x represent the number of caps sold

Let y represent the number of t-shirts sold

The drama club aims to raise at least $500 for their trip.

Hence, we can establish the inequality as follows:

The number of caps sold x (times) price of one cap + number of t-shirts y (times) price of one t-shirt ≥ (greater than or equal to) 500

Inequality: 5x + 10y ≥ 500 (The greater than or equal to symbol indicates the drama club needs at least $500 for the journey.Next, we need to ascertain the number of caps and t-shirts sold.

- We can eliminate

two

of the options which are

the two answers containing negatives

because we understand that multiplying a positive by a negative yields a negative, which is unacceptable. (Thus, Options A and D are not valid.)Now we will substitute x and y into our inequality equation (5x + 10y ≥ 500)B) x = 65 caps, y = 17.5 t-shirts ------> 5(65) + 10(17.5) = 500 results in $500

YOU MAY THINK THIS IS THE ANSWER, BUT! if you look closely at variable y, it indicates they sold 17.5 t-shirts; however, consider how can you sell 17.5 t-shirts?

Thus, this option is also invalid!

C) x = 72 caps, y = 24 t-shirts ------> 5(72) + 10(24)=

$600

which exceeds the required $500 that they needed. Therefore, the correct choice for this question is C, indicating they sold 72 caps and 24 t-shirts, accumulating $600.

babunello [8412]

The likelihood that at least one trip occurs before Isabella's birth is 0.7627.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, Isabella has invented a time machine, but she lacks control over where she travels. Each use of the device holds a 0.25 probability of leading her to a time preceding her birth. Over the initial year of trials, she operates her machine 5 times. If we assume every journey has an equal chance of going back in time, we can calculate the odds that at least one of these trips occurs before she was born. Here's the calculation:

The probability of traveling to a time prior to her birth is 0.25.

The chance of not traveling back in time, given that the machine is used 5 times:

⇒ (1-0.25)(1-0.25)(1-0.25)(1-0.25)(1-0.25)

⇒ (1-0.25)^5

⇒ (0.75)^5

The probability that at least one trip goes before Isabella's birth is equal to 1 minus the probability of not traveling back to that period:

⇒ 1-(0.75)^5

⇒ 0.7627

Consequently, the chance that at least one trip travels before Isabella's birth is 0.7627.
