The number of 1 cent stamps exceed the number of 33 cent stamps by 50. The number of 32 cents was 10 less than twice the number of 33 cents stamps. How many of each kind did she buy?

Answers

Answer 1
x = 1 cent, y = 32 cent, and z = 33 cent

0.01x + 0.32y + 0.33z = 21.80
x = z + 50
y = 2z - 10

0.01(z + 50) + 0.32(2z - 10) + 0.33z = 21.80
0.01z + 0.5 + 0.64z - 3.20 + 0.33z = 21.80
0.98z - 2.7 = 21.8
0.98z = 21.8 + 2.7
0.98z = 24.5
z = 24.5 / 0.98
z = 25 <=== 33 cent stamps

x = z + 50
x = 25 + 50
x = 75 <=== 1 cent stamps

y = 2z - 10
y = 2(25) - 10
y = 50 - 10
y = 40 <== 32 cent stamps


 



Answer 2
Final answer:

Mildred bought 480 1 cent stamps, 410 32 cent stamps, and 520 33 cent stamps.

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem using a system of equations.

Let's use the variables x, y, and z to represent the number of 1 cent stamps, 32 cent stamps, and 33 cent stamps respectively that Mildred bought. We can write the following equations based on the information given:

x + y + z = 2180  (since the total cost was $21.80)

x = z + 50  (since the number of 1 cent stamps exceed the number of 33 cent stamps by 50)

y = 2z - 10  (since the number of 32 cent stamps was 10 less than twice the number of 33 cents stamps)

Let's solve this system of equations:

Substitute the value of x from equation 2 into equation 1: (z + 50) + y + z = 2180Substitute the value of y from equation 3 into equation 1: z + 50 + (2z - 10) + z = 2180Simplify and solve for zSubstitute the value of z into equation 2 to find xSubstitute the value of z into equation 3 to find y

After solving the system of equations, we find that Mildred bought 480 1 cent stamps, 410 32 cent stamps, and 520 33 cent stamps.

what is the product of any integer and -1

Answers

the product of any integer and -1 is equals opposite of that integer.
Whenever I have to multiply integers, I think of this little math song to the tune of "Row Row Row Your Boat" that my teacher taught me in 7th grade. 

Remember:
Multiply and divide
Then look at the signs
Different signs are negative
Same signs are just fine (positive)

For example: -5 x 5 = -25              -5 x -5 = 25 
                      Different signs          Same signs (positive & positive)

So in your specific case, the product of any integer and -1 depends. If the integer is positive, than the final product would be the integer in it's negative form. If the integer is negative, than the final product would be the integer in it's positive form.

because the angles in a rectangle are 90 degrees it is not a parallelogram true or false? please explain why

Answers

A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape where opposites sides are parallel. A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram. All rectangles are parallelograms.

But a rectangle is a shape where opposites sides are parallel *and* all the corners are 90 degree angles. So you can't say that all parallelograms would be rectangles. Some parallelograms would be rectangles, but not all.

Rectangles are a subset of the shapes called parallelograms. But parallelograms are *not* a subset of the shapes called rectangles.

Lucy has to run two errands. She starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. Then, from the gas station, she travels 5 miles to return home. The entire trip forms a triangle.

What was the smallest angle made in her trip?

It is at the gas station.
It is at Lucy’s home.
It is at the post office.
It depends on the direction Lucy is traveling.

Answers

Lucy starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. As it is known south and east directions form right angle. Since the entire trip forms a triangle, this triangle is right with right angle at post office.

Call the vertices of this triangle P - post office, G - gas station, H - home. Then HP and PG are legs of this triangle and GH is hypotenuse.

From the given data:

HP=3;PG=4;GH=5;∠P=90°.

The smallest angle is opposite to the smallest side. The smallest side is leg HP, so the smallest angle is G that is the angle at gas station.

Answer: correct choice is A.


In this exercise we have to mark the correct alternative corresponding to the location, so we have:

Letter A

The following information was then given by the statement:

Lucy starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post officeFrom the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station.

Imagining the paths made by lucy as a triangle, we know that the longest path that corresponds to the hypotenuse will be from the gas station to her house, so:

HP=3;PG=4;GH=5;P=90°.

We have:

during a baseball game, a player's ball hit into the outfield is modeled by the equation h=-16t^2 + 65t. A bird flying across the field follows the path modeled by the equation h=8t+20. let t be the time since the ball is hit and h be the height. what do the intersection points of the equations represent?

Answers

The intersections of the equations represent the times when the bird and the ball are at the same height.

8t+20=-16t^2+65t

16t^2-57t+20=0, using the quadratic equation for expediency:

t=(57±√4529)/32 and since we know t>0

t≈3.88 seconds  (at a approximate height of 51 feet)

Answer:

Intersection points are

(0.39,0) and (3.16,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the outfield is [tex]h=-16t^2 + 65t[/tex]

The path equation is [tex]h=8t+20[/tex]

To find intersection of two equations , we make them equal and solve for t

[tex]-16t^2+65t= 8t+20[/tex]

Subtract 8t from both sides

[tex]-16t^2+57t=20[/tex]

Subtract 20 on both sides

[tex]-16t^2+57t-20=0[/tex]

Divide whole equation by -1

[tex]16t^2-57t+20=0[/tex]

Apply quadratic formula to solve for t

[tex]t=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

a= 16, b=-57 and c=20

[tex]t=\frac{57+-\sqrt{(-57)^2-4(16)(20)}}{2(16)}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{57+-\sqrt{1969}}{32}[/tex]

Costs 570 = 60 seconds

Divide both sides by 60.

Costs 10 cents = 1 second

This means that every second they pay 10 cents for the hotel. :D


A gardener uses a tray of 6 conical pots to plant seeds. Each conical pot has a radius of 3 centimeters and a depth of 8 centimeters. About how many cubic centimeters of soil are needed to plant the full tray? Round to the nearest cubic centimeter.

Answers

By definition, the volume of a cone is given by:

[tex] V = (\frac{1}{3}) * (\pi) * (r ^ 2) * (h)
[/tex]

Where,

r: radius of the circular base

h: height of the cone

Since we have 6 conical pots, then the total volume is:

[tex]Vt=6V[/tex]

[tex] Vt = 6 * (\frac{1}{3}) * (\pi) * (r ^ 2) * (h)
[/tex]

Substituting values we have:

[tex] Vt = 6 * (\frac{1}{3}) * (3.14) * (3 ^ 2) * (8)

Vt = 452.16 cm ^ 3
[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest cubic centimeter:

[tex] Vt = 452 cm ^ 3
[/tex]

Answer:

are needed 452 cm^3 of soil to plant the full tray

The cubic centimeters of soil are needed to plant the full tray is approximately 452cubic in

Volume of a cone

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is expressed as:

V = 1/3πr²h

r is the radius  = 3cm

h is the height = 8cm

Substitute

V =  1/3 * 3.14 * 3^2 * 8
V = 75.36 cubic cm

Since the gardener uses a tray of 6 conical pots to plant seeds, the total volume will be expressed as:

T = 6(75.36)
T = 452cubic in

Hence the cubic centimeters of soil are needed to plant the full tray is approximately 452cubic in

Avery owns stocks in Ever Rise Corporation. The stock price increased by 120% over the past week. If the stock price was p last week, write two equivalent expressions that represent the current stock price and explain what their equivalence means. Substitute one or more variables into the expressions to prove them equivalent.

Answers

Answer:

Expression 1. P+1.2p

Expression 2. 2.2p

Step-by-step explanation:

These 2 equivalent expressions state that increasing a value by 120% is the same as multiplying the original value by 2.2.

Example: assume that p=50. The first expression gives p+1.2p=50+1.2(50) =110. The second expression gives 2.2p=2.2(50)=110

The two expressions 1.2p and p + 0.2p are equivalent, as they both represent the same relationship between the current stock price and the stock price last week.

What is the expression?

Expressions are defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing that variables or numbers.

If the stock price increased by 120% over the past week, then the current stock price is 120% of the stock price last week. This can be represented by the equation:

current price = 1.2p

Another way to represent the same relationship is to say that the current price is the stock price last week plus 120% of the stock price last week. This can be represented by the equation:

current price = p + 0.2p

To prove that these two expressions are equivalent, we can substitute a value for p into both equations and show that they give the same result. For example, if the stock price last week was $100, then:

current price = 1.2100 = $120

current price = 100 + 0.2100 = $120

Therefore, the two expressions are equivalent, as they both represent the same relationship between the current stock price and the stock price last week.
