Rami sold 250 bottles of water and 150 bags of trail mix at the concert, totaling $1,475 in sales.
To solve the problem of how many bottles of water and bags of trail mix Rami sold, we need to set up and solve a system of linear equations based on the given information.
Let's define the variables:
- [tex]\( x \)[/tex] = the number of bottles of water sold
- [tex]\( y \)[/tex] = the number of bags of trail mix sold
From the problem, we have two pieces of information that we can turn into equations:
1. The total number of items sold is 400.
2. The total revenue from the items sold is $1,475.
We can write these two statements as equations:
1. [tex]\( x + y = 400 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( 3.50x + 4y = 1475 \)[/tex]
We now have a system of linear equations:
[tex]\[\begin{cases}x + y = 400 \\3.50x + 4y = 1475\end{cases}\][/tex]
Step 1: Solve the first equation for [tex]\( y \)[/tex]
[tex]\[y = 400 - x\][/tex]
Step 2: Substitute [tex]\( y \)[/tex] in the second equation
Replace [tex]\( y \)[/tex] in the second equation with [tex]\( 400 - x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[3.50x + 4(400 - x) = 1475\][/tex]
Step 3: Simplify and solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]
Expand and simplify the equation:
[tex]\[3.50x + 1600 - 4x = 1475\][/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]\[3.50x - 4x + 1600 = 1475\][/tex]
[tex]\[-0.50x + 1600 = 1475\][/tex]
Subtract 1600 from both sides:
[tex]\[-0.50x = 1475 - 1600\][/tex]
[tex]\[-0.50x = -125\][/tex]
Divide both sides by -0.50:
[tex]\[x = \frac{-125}{-0.50} = 250\][/tex]
So, Rami sold 250 bottles of water.
Step 4: Find [tex]\( y \)[/tex] using the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\( x = 250 \)[/tex] back into the first equation:
[tex]\[y = 400 - 250 = 150\][/tex]
So, Rami sold 150 bags of trail mix.
Conclusion
Rami sold:
- 250 bottles of water
- 150 bags of trail mix
To verify, we check the total revenue:
[tex]\[3.50 \times 250 + 4 \times 150 = 875 + 600 = 1475\][/tex]
The numbers match the given total revenue, confirming our solution is correct.
Honi is looking at a map with a scale of 1 4 in. = 20 miles. She measured the distance from Niceville to Live Oak as 2.5 in. She found the actual distance between Niceville and Live Oak by following these steps:
Step 1: Set up a proportion 1 4 20 = 2.5 x
Step 2: Cross multiply (20)(2.5) = ( 1 4 )(x)
Step 3: Simplify 50 = 1 4 x
Step 4: Solve for x, x = 250 miles
Which step, if any, contains a mistake?
A) Step 1
B) Step 2
C) Step 3
D) Step 4
The mistake is in Step 4 of Honi's calculation. The correct actual distance between Niceville and Live Oak should be 200 miles instead of the 250 miles that was stated in the original steps.
Explanation:The student's question pertains to setting up and solving a proportion to find the actual distance between two places using a map scale. The map scale given is ¼ in. = 20 miles. Honi measures a distance of 2.5 inches on the map. The steps to find the actual distance, using a proportion, should be evaluated for accuracy.
To set up the proportion correctly, we use the ratio of the map scale and compare it to the ratio of the measured distance to the actual distance (x). The correct proportion should be: (1/4 in.) / 20 miles = 2.5 in. / x miles.
Step 1 is correct, setting up the proportion based on the scale and measured distance. Step 2 involves cross-multiplying to find the relationship between the scale and the actual distance, which should yield (1/4) * x = 2.5 * 20. Step 3 should simplify this equation correctly, which would give us x = 2.5 * 20 * 4 = 200 miles. Therefore, Step 4 has a mistake because the solution provided should be 200 miles, not 250 miles as given.

Find the number that is smaller than 5 5/12 by as much as 2 2/13 is smaller than 6 1/6
Answer: the number is x = 1 + 21/52
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
(5 + 5/12) - x = (6 + 1/6) - (2 + 2/13)
this means that x is smaller than 5 + 5/12 by the same amount as (2 + 2/13) is smaller than (6 + 1/6)
We can solve it directly, first solve the parentheses, put the whole numbers at one side and the fractions in the other side:
5 - 6 + 2 - x = -5/12 + 1/6 - 2/13
1 - x = -5/12 + 2/12 - 2/13
1 - x = -3/12 - 2/13 = -1/4 - 2/13 = -13/(4*13) - (2*4)/(4*13) = -21/52
x = 1 + 21/52

what is the common ratio of the geometric sequence below? -96,48, -24, 12, -6,..
The common ratio of the given geometric sequence is [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex], as each term is half the value and opposite in sign of the previous term.
The common ratio of a geometric sequence can be found by dividing any term by the previous term. In the given sequence, -96, 48, -24, 12, -6,..., let's divide the second term by the first term:
Common ratio (r) = [tex]\frac{48 }{-96} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
This ratio will be consistent throughout the sequence. For example, dividing the third term by the second term also gives [tex]-\frac{24 }{ 48} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex], confirming that the common ratio is indeed [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

A triangle shaped paper’s height is 18 cm and width is 10 cm. Find the hypotenuse of the paper.
The hypotenuse of the paper is 2√106 cm.
What is Pythagorean theorem ?
Hypotenuse ² = Height ² + Width ²
Know more about Pythagorean theorem,
The Pythagorean Theorem, also known as the Pythagoras Theorem, explains the relationship between the three sides of a right triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right triangle. Pythagorean triangles are the name given to the sides of a right triangle. Let's learn about Pythagorean theorem, formula, derivation and examples in detail.
The history of the Pythagorean theorem goes back to the ancient Babylonian and Egyptian era. The Greek mathematician Pythagoras of Samos introduced the Pythagorean theorem. Pythagoras was born in 570 BC. The Greek philosopher studied with other monks and formed a group of people; he finally stated the Pythagorean theorem. Even before Pythagoras, the ratio was shown on a Babylonian tablet 4000 years ago, but the theorem is published under the name of Pythagoras.
Here given, a triangle shaped paper’s height is 18 cm and width is 10 cm.
We want find the hypotenuse of the paper ?
Here, height of the paper = 18 cm and width of the triangle = 10 cm.
[tex] = {18}^{2} + {10}^{2} \\ = 324 + 100 \\ = 424[/tex]
So,
[tex]hypotenuse = \sqrt{424} \\ = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 53} \\ = 2 \sqrt{2 \times 53} \\ = 2 \sqrt{106} \: cm[/tex]
Therefore,the hypotenuse of the paper is 2√106 cm.

Yolanda closed on a 20 year home loan for $83,000. she chooses to buy only 1 point at closing. by buying a point at her closing, yolanda reduced her monthly payment by $7.63. based on the fact that yolanda chose to buy a point at closing, what would you infer is the minimum amount of time that she will own the home? A) 6 Years B) 11 Years C) 16 Years D) 20 Years
Minimum amount of time that Yolanda will own the home is for at least 11 years
What is Division?A division is a process of splitting a specific amount into equal parts.
To calculate the minimum amount of time that Yolanda will own the home
We need to determine how long it will take for the monthly savings to equal the cost of the point.
One point is equal to 1% of the loan amount, so Yolanda paid $830 (1% of $83,000) at closing for the point.
To find out how many months it will take for the monthly savings to equal the cost of the point, we divide the cost of the point by the monthly savings:
$830 ÷ $7.63 = 108.77 months
Since there are 12 months in a year, 108.77 months is 11 years.
Therefore, we can infer that Yolanda will own the home for at least 11 years
