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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone is given by ...

  SA = πr(r +s) . . . . where r is the radius, and s is the slant height

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  SA = (3.14)(3 cm)(3 cm +23 cm) = (3.14)(3)(26) cm² ≈ 245 cm²

The surface area of the cone is about 245 cm².

If the two spinners below are spun, what is the probability that the numbers will add to less than six?

Answers

Answer:

3/4 or 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are twelve possible outcomes. (4 green for each of the three orange).

The only combinations that add up to six or more are 2&4, 3&3 and 3&4.

That’s 3 out of 12.  So 9 out of 12 combinations will add up to less than 6.

9/12=3/4 or 75%

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.

Answers

Presumably, x is standing in for the question mark.

The pair of vertical angles (DFE and CFV) shown here both have measure 125°. This angle measure is equal to the average of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the chords CE and DV.

So we have

angle DFE = 1/2 (arc CV + arc DE)

125° = 1/2 (x + 200°)

250° = x + 200°

x = 50°

Answer:

f(x) = -0.15x^2 +19.8x -11 . . . profit function$642.40 maximum daily profit66 gallons sold$10.90 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  daily cost function c(x) = x +11

  price-demand function p(x) = -0.15x +20.8

Find:

  daily profit function

  maximum daily profit

  quantity sold for maximum profit

  price for maximum profit

Solution:

The revenue is the product of price and demand:

  x·p(x) = -0.15x^2 +20.8x

The profit is the difference between revenue and cost:

  f(x) = x·p(x) -c(x) = -0.15x^2 +20.8x -x -11

  f(x) = -0.15x^2 +19.8x -11 . . . . . daily profit function

__

The maximum profit will be had a the vertex of the curve, found where ...

  x = -(19.8)/(2(-0.15)) = 66

  f(66) = (-0.15·66 +19.8)66 -11 = 9.9·66 -11 = 642.40

The maximum profit is $642.40, when 66 gallons of ice cream are sold.

__

The price that will result in demand of 66 gallons of ice cream is ...

  p(66) = -0.15(66) +20.8 = 10.9

The price to charge per gallon to maximize profit is $10.90.

An investigator wishes to estimate the mean number of flight hours of pilots who fly for regional airlines. Assuming that the standard deviation of the number of hours is 120 hours, the minimum sample size needed in order to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of flight time of all such pilots, to within 50 hours, is about

Answers

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is 39.

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 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/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 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

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.

Assuming that the standard deviation of the number of hours is 120 hour

This means that [tex]\sigma = 120[/tex]

The minimum sample size needed in order to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of flight time of all such pilots, to within 50 hours, is about?

The minimum sample size needed is n.

n is found when [tex]M = 50[/tex]

So

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

[tex]50 = 2.575\frac{120}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]50\sqrt{n} = 2.575*120[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*120}{50}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*120}{50})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 38.19[/tex]

Rounding up

The minimum sample size needed is 39.
