Shirt cost $20 each and ties cost $12 each. Write an expression for the cost of s shirts and t ties

Answers

20s+12t= is your expression.

Answer:

The cost of "s" shirts and "t" ties = $20s + $12t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Shirt cost = $20 each

Ties cost = $12 each.

The number of shirts represented by "s" and the number of ties represented by "t"

Cost = $20*the number of shirts + $12*the number of ties

so, the cost of "s" shirts and "t" ties = 20s + 12t

Example:

If we want to find the cost 2 shirts and 3 ties, we need to plug s = 2 and t= 2 in the above expression.

The cost of 2 shirts and 3 ties = 20*2 + 12*3

= 40 + 36

= $76

The cost of 2 shirts and 3 ties is $76.

Look at the rectangle and the square:

Finding the Length of the Diagonals

Rectangle PQSR

Diagonal SQ, using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), would be equal to:

14^2 + 7^2 = c^2 (Where c is the hypotenuse;)

196 + 49 = c^2

Square root of 245 = c

15.6 inches.

Square LMON

Diagonal OM, using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), would be equal to:

49 + 49 = c^2

Square root of 98 = c

9.9 inches.

Finding the Diagonal Relation

9.9 * 2 = 19.8

19.8 is not equal to diagonal SQ.

9.8 is therefore not two times the length of 15.6, so Anna is incorrect.

Anna says that the length of diagonal SQ is two times the length of diagonal OM which is incorrect.

A person who is six feet tall casts a 3-foot-long shadow. A nearby pine tree casts a 15-foot-long shadow.What is the height hh of the pine tree?

Answers

Hello! To solve this problem, we can write out and solve a proportion. Set it up like this: 6/3 = x/15. We’re looking for the height of the pine tree, but we know the length of the shadows, so they line up with one another and “x” goes at the top. Let’s cross multiply the values to get 90 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the “x”. 90/3 is 3. x = 30. The pine tree is 30 feet tall.

person is 6 feet tall, shadow is 3 feet long

6/3 = 2

pine tree shadow is 15 feet

Let   y = [tex] \frac{x}{2} [/tex]  +  3   be line₁
And the perpendicular angle be line₂


If a line is perpendicular to another, then the product of their gradients is -1, which means that the gradient of line₂ would be the negative reciprocal of line₁

Based on that, if the gradient of line₁ is [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
                   then, the gradient of line₂ is - 2.

Now by using the point-slope form  y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁)

If line₂ passes through the line (1,8) and have gradient -2,
then by exploiting the point-slope form  y - 8 = -2 (x - 1)

Marisa is walking from her home to her friend Sanjay's home. When she is 12 blocks away from Sanjay's home she looks at her watch. she looks again when she is 8 blocks away from Sanjay's home and finds that 6 minutes have passed?

B. identified the variables for the linear situation and identify two points on the line explain the meaning of the points in the in the context of the problem
C. find the slope of the line and describe what it means in the context of the problem
D. write an equation in point slope form for the situation and use it to find the number of minutes It takes to reach Sanjay's home. show your work

Answers

Final answer:

Marisa walks at a constant speed to Sanjay's home, covering 1.5 blocks each minute.

Two points on the line representing her journey are (12, 0) and (8, 6).

The slope of line is -1.5.

The point-slope form of the equation is y = -1.5x + 18, and it takes 18 minutes to reach home.

Explanation:

To answer the question about Marisa walking to her friend Sanjay's home, we need to treat her journey as a linear situation.

A. Assumptions for a Linear Situation:

We need to assume that Marisa is walking at a constant speed between the two observed points.

In other words, there are no changes in her walking pace between being 12 and 8 blocks away from Sanjay's home.

B. Variables and Points on the Line:

The variables in this linear situation would be distance to Sanjay's home (x) and time passed (y).

Two points on the line are (12, 0) when she starts at 12 blocks away and looks at the watch, assuming 0 minutes have passed, and (8, 6) when she is 8 blocks away after 6 minutes.

C. Slope of the Line:

The slope of the line can be calculated using the formula slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Hence, the slope equals (6 - 0) / (8 - 12) = 6 / (-4) = -1.5 blocks/minute.

This slope indicates that Marisa covers 1.5 blocks each minute.

D. Equation and Time to Reach Sanjay's Home:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Using the point (8, 6) and the slope -1.5, the equation is y - 6 = -1.5(x - 8).

Rearranging, we get y = -1.5x + 18.

To find out how many minutes it takes to reach Sanjay's home when x = 0, we plug in the values to get

y = -1.5(0) + 18,

y = 18 minutes.

How many bracelets and necklaces should the owner sell?

Answers

n = necklace

b = bracelet

n +b =120

n = 120-b

3.50n + 2.50b = 330

11n + 5b = 880

 

3.5(120-b) +2.5b=330

420-3.5b + 2.5b = 330

420 -b = 330

-b = -90

B =90

N = 30

 

3.5*30= 105

2.5*90 = 225

Answer:

geometric sequence: 10, 30, 90, 270, 810, 2430, ...quadratic sequence: 10, 30, 90, 190, 330, 510, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

Three terms of a sequence can be the first three terms of many different kinds of sequences. Here the ratios of terms are constant:

  30/10 = 90/30 = 3

so the pattern could be that of a geometric sequence. In that sequence, each term is 3 times the previous one.

This pattern continues ...

  10, 30, 90, 270, 810, 2430, ...

___

Another way to look at sequences of numbers is to consider their differences. Here the differences are not constant, and there aren't enough terms to tell how the differences change.

  30 -10 = 20

  90 -30 = 60

The second of these differences can be viewed several ways. One is to say that it is 40 more than the first of the differences. If each successive difference is 40 more than the last, then the pattern is described by a quadratic function:

  [tex]a_n=10+20(n-1)^2[/tex]

This pattern continues ...

A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discount. In the equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax and x represents the original price of the item:

C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Chris is an employee at the store. He plans to buy a coat during the sale. The price of the coat before the discount is $100. How much will Chris pay for the coat during the sale? Remember, do not include the $ symbol.

Answer for Blank 1:

Answers

The equation that returns the cost, C, that in employee has to pay is:

C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Where x is the price before discount, 0765 is the price after discount and before taxes, and 0.06(0.765x) is the value of the tax.

Furthermore, note where 0765 comes from:

x less 15% disscount = x - 0.15x = 0.85x;

0.85 less 10% disscount = 0.85x - 0.1*0.85x = 0.85x - 0.085x = 0.765x.

So, you just must replace the price in the formula:

C = 0.765($100) + 0.06(0.765*$100) = $76.5 + $4.59 = $81.09

Answer: 81.09

Consider number line. Plot the point as unfilled circle that goes after > sigh and shade the ray that goes from this point to the right. Then another way to represent this solution is

( ,∞).

Answer: correct choice is C

Final answer:

The correct alternative representation of the set builder notation { x | x > A } in interval notation is ( A, ∞ ), which includes any number greater than A up to positive infinity, but does not include A itself.

Explanation:

The solution to an inequality given in set builder notation as { x | x > A } can be represented in interval notation in several ways, depending on the specifics of the inequality. If the set includes all numbers greater than A, but does not include the number A itself, the interval notation is ( A, ∞ ). This means that the solution set includes any number greater than A, extending to positive infinity, but it does not include A because of the use of the parenthesis.

Interval notation such as [ A, ∞ ) would mean that the set includes the number A and extends to positive infinity. However, this is not the correct representation if the initial set builder notation specifies that x is greater than A, not greater than or equal to A. Similarly, intervals ( -∞ , A ] and ( -∞ , A ) represent sets that include numbers less than or equal to A, and less than A, respectively, which again isn't the case here.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2nd option

Here are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a square, in the correct order:

Use a straightedge to draw line t and label a point on the line as point B.Construct a line perpendicular to line t through point B. Label a point on this line as point C.With the compass open to the desired side length of the square, place the compass point on point B and draw an arc on line t and an arc on [tex]$\overleftrightarrow{B C}$[/tex]. Label the points of intersection as points D and E.Use the straightedge to draw [tex]$\overline{F D}$[/tex] and [tex]$\overline{F E}$[/tex].Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point E and draw an arc in the interior of < DBE to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point F.Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on point D and draw an arc in the interior of < DBE.

Constructing a square using a compass and straightedge involves a series of precise steps to ensure accuracy. This sequence ensures each step is correctly executed to construct the square.

To construct a square using a compass and straightedge, one must draw a base line, construct a perpendicular line, use a compass to measure out equal lengths, and finally connect the points to form a square.

Following these steps carefully will result in a precise square. The key is to maintain consistent compass width for accurate side lengths and to use the straightedge for clean, straight lines.

Keesha needs to save $331. To earn money she plans to babysit and charge $11 per hour. Write two estimates Keesha could use to determine how many hours she needs to babysit.

Answers

Final answer:

Keesha could make two estimates to determine how many hours she needs to babysit to save $331 by either rounding down to 30 hours or rounding up to 31 hours at her rate of $11 per hour.

Explanation:

Keesha needs to save $331 and plans to charge $11 per hour for babysitting. To estimate how many hours she needs to babysit, Keesha could use two different approaches for rounding her estimates.

Round Down Estimate: Keesha can round down the total amount she needs to save to the nearest multiple of her hourly rate. If she rounds $331 down to $330, she can then divide $330 by $11 per hour to find she would need to babysit for 30 hours.

Round Up Estimate: Alternatively, Keesha can round up the total amount to the next multiple of her hourly rate. If she rounds $331 up to $341, she can divide $341 by $11 per hour to estimate that she would need to babysit for approximately 31 hours.

THe bottom rectangular prism  has volume 8*7.5*7 =  420 cu ft

The top triangular prism  has a volume of 1/2 * 7 * 7.5 * 8 =  210 cu ft

Total volume = 420+210  = 630 cu ft

Answer:

[tex]V=630ft^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This solid is composite by a triangular prism and a rectangular prism. So, let:

[tex]V_1=Volume\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}rectangular\hspace{3}prism\\V_2=Volume\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}triangular\hspace{3}prism[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the composite solid is:

[tex]V=V_1+V_2[/tex]

The volume of the rectangular prism is given by:

[tex]V_1=l*w*h[/tex]

Where:

[tex]l=length=8ft\\w=width=7.5ft\\h=height=7ft[/tex]

So:

[tex]V_1=8*7.5*7=420ft^3[/tex]

The volume of the triangular prism is given by:

[tex]V_2=\frac{1}{2} l*b*h[/tex]

Where:

[tex]l=Distance\hspace{3} between\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} triangular \hspace{3}faces=8ft\\b=length\hspace{3}of\hspace{3} one\hspace{3} side \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} the \hspace{3}triangle=7.5ft\\h=length \hspace{3} of \hspace{3} an \hspace{3}altitude \hspace{3} drawn \hspace{3} to \hspace{3} that \hspace{3}side=7ft[/tex]

So:

What is the angle of rotation of this regular octagon? what is the measure of an interior angle?

Answers

Final answer:

The angle of rotation of a regular octagon is 45°, and the measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is 135°.

Explanation:

The angle of rotation for a regular octagon can be found by dividing the full circle of 360 degrees by the number of sides, which is 8 for an octagon. Therefore, the angle of rotation is 360° / 8 = 45°.

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is determined by the formula (n-2) × 180° / n, where 'n' is the number of sides. Substituting 8 for 'n', the measure of an interior angle is (8-2) × 180° / 8 = 6 × 180° / 8 = 135°.

A metallurgist needs to make 12.4 lb. of an 10) alloy containing 50% gold. He is going to melt and combine one metal that is 60% gold with another metal that is 40% gold.How much of each should he use?

Answers

now, let's say, we add "x" lbs of the 60% gold alloy, so..  how much gold is in it?  well, is just 60%, so (60/100) * x, or 0.6x.

likewise, if we use "y" lbs of the 40% alloy, how much gold is in it?  well, 40% of y, or (40/100) * y, or 0.4y.

now, whatever "x" and "y" are, their sum must be 12.4 lbs.

we also know that the gold amount in each added up, must equal that of the 50% resulting alloy.

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{lccclll} &\stackrel{lbs}{amount}&\stackrel{gold~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{gold}{quantity}\\ &------&------&------\\ \textit{60\% alloy}&x&0.6&0.6x\\ \textit{40\% alloy}&y&0.4&0.4y\\ ------&------&------&------\\ \textit{50\% alloy}&12.4&0.50&6.2 \end{array}[/tex]

[tex]\bf \begin{cases} x+y=12.4\implies \boxed{y}=12.4-x\\ 0.6x+0.4y=6.2\\ -------------\\ 0.6x+0.4\left( \boxed{12.4-x} \right)=6.2 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 0.6x-0.4x+4.96=6.2\implies 0.2x=1.24\implies x=\cfrac{1.24}{0.2} \\\\\\ x=\stackrel{lbs}{6.2}[/tex]

how much of the 40% alloy?  well, y = 12.4 - x.
