0.30x represents the expense for the first soda type. 0.35(x+4) signifies the price for the second type of soda. Combine these amounts into an equation structured as:

Cost of Soda A + Cost of Soda B = Total Cost
0.30x + 0.35(x+4)=3.35 --> Expand 0.35(x+4)
0.30x + 0.35x + 1.4 = 3.35 --> Combine the x's and subtract 1.40.65x = 1.95 --> By dividing by 0.65, we find
x = 3

Samir purchases 3 cans of soda priced at 30 cents each and 7 cans (3+4) at 35 cents each. The overall total for Samir's soda is 10 cans.

How are the values of the eights related in 880?

tester [12383]

In 880, the first 8 represents a value ten times larger than the second 8. That is the first relationship between the two 8’s. The second relationship is that swapping the two 8’s does not change the number. Because the hundreds and tens places hold the same digit here, exchanging them leaves the overall number unchanged.

The function, f(x) = 70n-400, models the profit if the instructor of a guitar class per month, where n is the number of students

Inessa [12570]

F(x) = 1,000. 70n - 400 = 1,000. 70n = 1,000 + 400. 70n = 1,400. n = 1,400/70. n = 20. The instructor requires 20 students.

Translate into an algebraic expression and simplify if possible. C It would take Maya x minutes to rake the leaves and Carla y m

lawyer [12517]

Answer:

together they rake $\frac{y+x}{xy}$ leaves in one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maya takes x minutes to rake, then in one minute, she rakes $\frac{1}{x}$ leaves.

For Carla, if her raking takes y minutes, in one minute she rakes $\frac{1}{y}$ leaves.

Thus, to find the amount they work together in one minute, we add both of their contributions for that minute, resulting in: $\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y}$

Finally, simplifying this expression gives:

$\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y} =\frac{y+x}{xy}$

As a result, they collectively rake $\frac{y+x}{xy}$ leaves in a minute.

Svet_ta [12734]

P(volleyball and baseball) = 4/200 x 100 = 2%
P(volleyball or baseball) = P(volleyball ∪ baseball) = P(volleyball) + P(baseball) - P(volleyball and baseball) = 12% + 15% - 2% = 25%.

Thus, 25% of students participate in either volleyball or baseball.
