In a certain clothing store 6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 determine the cost of each shirt

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $12 for each shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let 's' and 't' represent the costs of a shirt and tie, respectively, then we can write the general form equations ...

  6s +3t -79.50 = 0

  3s +2t -41.00 = 0

The solution for s can be found using the "cross multiplication" technique.

Differences of products can be formed:

  d1 = (6)(2) -(3)(3) = 3

  d2 = (3)(-41) -(2)(-79.50) = 36

Then we have ...

  1/d1 = s/d2   ⇒   s = d2/d1 = 36/3 = 12

The cost of each shirt is $12.00.

___

2 ties cost 41-36 = 5, so each one is $2.50.

_____

Additional comment

The use of simple elimination on this set of equations would eliminate the s-variable, so would mean additional work to find s after finding t. The t-variable could be eliminated by multiplying one equation by one coefficient, and the other by a different coefficient. As long as we're doing that amount of work, we may as well do just enough cross-multiplication to get the one answer we need. This is where the "cross-multiplication" method of solution comes in handy.

This method solves the general-form equations ...

ax +by +c = 0dx +ey +g = 0

by considering the two rows of coefficients:

a, b, c, ad, e, g, d

Then differences of cross-products are formed in adjacent columns:

  d1 = ae -db

  d2 = bg -ec

  d3 = cd -ga

The solutions are ...

  1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3   ⇒   x = d2/d1, y = d3/d1

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallons and the mean is 15.9 gallons per day. If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.075 = 0.925[/tex], so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3[/tex]

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 178.8[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

b = 80 in

c = ?

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

60² + 80² = c²

3600 + 6400 = c²

c² = 10000

c = 100 in

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  100%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change can be computed from ...

  pct change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  = ((1/2)/(1/4) -1) × 100%

  = (2 -1) × 100%

  = 100%

The increase by 1/4 from 1/4 to 1/2 is an increase of 100%.

What is division?

Division is the process of splitting a number or an amount into equal parts. Division is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, the ways that numbers are combined to make new numbers. The other operations are addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

here, we have,

Given:

1,050 calories should be consumed daily for a 105-pound person.

Now, to get the weight of an individual who consumes 1,370 calories per day.

If 1,050 calories should be consumed per day for = 105-pound person.

So, 1 calorie should be consumed per day for =105/1050

                                                                            =1/10                                                                                

Then, 1,370 calories consumed per day for weight of =1370/10

                                                                                         = 137 pounds

Therefore, the weight of an individual who consumes 1,370 calories per day is 137 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Total Cost = $275

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 0.25

Multiply $220 by 0.25 to get 25% of $220.

0.25 × $220 = $55

Now add $220 and $55 to get the total cost.

$220 + $55 = $275

Bill launched a model rocket, and estimated its height h, in feet, after 1 seconds. His results are shown in the table.
Time to 1 2 3 4
Height, h 0 110 190 240 255
Bill's data can be modeled by the function h(t) = -16t2 + 128t.
Which value is the best prediction for the height of the rocket after 5.5 seconds?
A. 150 ft
B. 180 ft
C. 220 ft
D. 250 ft
E 260 ft

Answers

Answer:

22ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of Bills modeled by the function h(t) = -16t^2 + 128t.

To get his height after 5.5secs, we will replace t with 5.5 a shown;

h(t) = -16t^2 + 128t.

h(5.5) = -16(5.5)^2 + 128(5.5)

h(5.5) = =-484+704

h(5.5) = 220ft

Hence his height after 5.5secs is 22ft
