A teacher plans to buy air fresheners that cost $3.50 each. If the teacher can spend no more than $10 on the air fresheners and

has a $3 discount coupon, which inequality represents the number of air fresheners, x, the teacher can buy?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to set up an equation to determine how many air fresheners the teacher can purchase.The teacher has $10, with an additional $3 discount coupon, which provides her an extra $3 to spend. The cost of each air freshener is $3.50.

Let x represent the number of air fresheners

($10 + $3) / $3.50 = x       can be expressed as $13/$3.50 = x

We combine $10 with $3 for the total amount available to spend.

We divide by $3.50 as this is the price of each air freshener. This calculation gives the quantity of air fresheners she can acquire.

In this scenario,

$13/$3.50 = x

3.71 = x   BUT partial air fresheners cannot be purchased, allowing her to buy only 3 air fresheners.

In a cash drawer there is $125 in $5 and $10 bills. The number of $10 bills is twice the number of $5 bills. How many of each ty
AnnZ [12381]
Let x denote the count of $5 bills and y signify the count of $10 bills. It can be stated that "the number of $10 bills is twice the number of $5 bills." Thus, y is 2 times x. We can formulate an equation, y = 2x (equation 1). The total value of all bills amounts to $125, allowing us to create another equation: 5*(number of $5 bills) + 10*(number of $10 bills) = 125. That leads to the equation 5(x) + 10(y) = 125 (equation 2). By substituting y = 2x into equation 2, we get 5(x) + 10(2x) = 125. This simplifies to 5x + 20x = 125. Combining like terms yields 25x = 125. Dividing both sides by 25 results in x = 5. By substituting x = 5 in the first equation, we find y = 2(5) = 10. Consequently, there are 5 $5 bills and 10 $10 bills.

Problem 5 (4+4+4=12) We roll two fair 6-sided dice. Each one of the 36 possible outcomes is assumed to be equally likely. 1) Fin
tester [12383]
1 2 3 Step-by-step explanation: Generally, during the roll of two fair 6-sided dice, the doubles result in (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6). Therefore, the total for doubles is N = 6. The outcome of rolling two fair 6-sided dice yields n = 36. Thus, the probability of rolling doubles (matching numbers on both dice) is calculated mathematically. When rolling two fair dice, outcomes that sum to 4 or less are (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1). Observing this, we see two doubles present. Consequently, the conditional probability of rolling doubles is represented mathematically. Lastly, when rolling the two fair dice, outcomes that show different numbers result in L = 30, while outcomes where at least one die shows a 1 give W = 10. Hence, the conditional probability of having at least one die show a 1 is presented mathematically.

A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air. The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential energy store as a
Svet_ta [12734]

The toddler weighs 12.5 kg.

In-depth explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep=mgh where;

Ep=gravitational potential energy

m=mass of an object

g=gravitational field strength

h=height in meters

Given that; h= 1.5m, Ep=187.5J, g=10 N/kg then finding m;

Ep=mgh

187.5=m*10*1.5

187.5=15m

187.5/15 =15m/15

m=12.5 kg

Calvin deposits $400 in a savings account that accrues 5% interest compounded monthly. after c years, calvin has $658.80. makayl
lawyer [12517]
To calculate this, a specific formula will be necessary. Years = log (total/principal) / [n * log (1 + rate / n)]. Part A) For Calvin: $400 at 5% monthly results in $658.80; Time =? Monthly compounding, n = 12. Thus, Years = log(658.80/400) / [12 * log(1+ (.05/12))]. Subsequently, Years = log( 1.647) / (12 * log(1.0041666667)). Then, Years = 0.21669359917 / 12 * 0.0018058008777. Thus resulting in Years = 0.21669359917 / 0.0216696105. Ultimately, Years ≈ 9.999884362. Part B) For Makayla: $300 at 6% quarterly yields $613.04; Time=? Quarterly compounding, n = 4. Therefore, Years = log(613.04/300) / [4 * log (1 +.06/4)]. This results in Years = log(2.0434666667) / (4 * log(1.015)). Years thus equals 0.31036755784 / (4 * 0.0064660422492), resulting in Years ≈ 11.9999044949. The approximate difference is about 3 years.
