At the soup to nuts cafeteria, larry orders two pieces of toast and a bagel, which comes out to $\$1.30$. Curly orders a bagel and a muffin, which comes out to $\$2.50$. Moe orders a piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins, which comes out to $\$6.95$. How many cents does one bagel cost

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Let us take costs of a piece of toast = $t, , one bagel cost=$b and a muffin cost=$m.

Larry

Two pieces of toast and a bagel cost  = $1.30

2t+b=1.30   -------------equation(1)

Let us solve the equation(1) for t in terms of b, because we need to find one bagel cost.

Subtracting b from both sides we get

2t+b-b=1.30-b

2t= 1.30-b

Dividing by 2 on both sides.

2t/2= (1.30-b)/2

t= (1.30-b)/2

Curly

A bagel and a muffin cost = $2.50.

b + m = 2.50 -------------equation(2)

Solving equation for m in terms of b, we get

m= 2.50-b.

Moe

A piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins cost = $6.95

t + 2b + 3m = 6.95    ......................equation(3).

Substituting t= (1.30-b)/2 and m= 2.50-b in equation (3)

(1.30-b)/2 + 2b + 3(2.50-b) = 6.95 .

Multiplying each term by 2 to get rid 2 from denominator of (1.30-b).

2*(1.30-b)/2+ 2*2b + 2*3(2.50-b) = 2*6.95

1.30-b + 4b + 6(2.50-b) = 13.90.

1.30 - b + 4b  +15 - 6b = 13.90

Combining like terms

-3b +16.30 = 13.90

Subtracting 16.30 from both sides.

-3b +16.30-16.30 = 13.90-16.30.

-3b= -2.4

Dividing both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -2.4/-3

b = 0.8

Therefore, cost of one bagel = $0.80.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 7 inches, and one of the legs is square root 13 inches. Find the length of the other leg.A)  6 inches
B)    square root 62 inches
C)     square root 128 inches

Answers

The answer is A) 6 inches.
First I punch square root 13 in the calculator and got 3.6055... then I square the number since the formula has square root on it and got 13. Now the equation look something like this: 13 + b^2 = 49. 49 because 7^2 is 49. Then i subtract 49 by 13 and got 36. Now the equation look like this: b^2 = 36. After I square both side, I get b=6 in. 

The list below shows all the possible outcomes for tossing a coin and rolling 1 to 6 number cube. What is the probability that max tosses heads and rolls a number greater than two

Answers

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the coin there is heads or tails (2 possible results), so the probability of tossing heads is 1/2

For the number cube, we have 6 possible results. If we want a result greater than two, we have 3, 4, 5 or 6, so we have 4 of the 6 results, then the probability is 4/6.

Now, to find the final probability, we multiply both probabilities above:

Probability = (1/2) * (4/6) = 2/6 = 1/3

In a recent poll, 32% of the referees who were surveyed said that ejecting angry coaches was their favorite thing to do. If 152 referees gave this response, how many were surveyed in total?

Answers

Answer: 475 referees were surveyed in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of referees that were surveyed.

In a recent poll, 32% of the referees who were surveyed said that ejecting angry coaches was their favorite thing to do. This means that the number of referees that gave this response is

32/100 × x = 0.32 × x = 0.32x

If 152 referees gave this response, then the total number of referees that were surveyed would be

0.32x = 152

x = 152/0.32 = 475
