A group of 7 students went bowling. Each student rented bowling shoes for $x and spent $15 on snacks. A group of 6 adults also went bowling and paid twice as much to rent bowling shoes as each student. Each adult also spent $12.50 on snacks. If both groups spent the same total amount, what was the cost for each adult to rent bowling shoes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.52 (rounded to nearest penny)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 15(7) = 12(2x) + 12.5(6)

7x + 105 = 24x + 75

105 = 17x + 75

30 = 17x

1.76 = x

3.52 = 2x

Answer 2

The cost for each adult to rent bowling shoes is $12.

What is Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given:

Group I:

Total students= 7

Rent of bowling= $x

Spent on snacks= $15

Then, total amount spent by 7 children = 7x+ 15(7)

Group II:

Total students= 6

Rent of bowling= $2x

Spent on snacks= $12.50

Then, total amount spent by 7 children = 6(2x)+ 6 (12.50)

So, If both groups spent the same total amount

7x+ 105=  12x + 75

12x- 7x = 105- 75

5x = 30

x= 6

Hence, the cost for each adult to rent bowling shoes is $12.

a private and a public university are located in the same city. for the private university, 1046 alumni were surveyed and 653 said that they attended at least one class reunion. for the public university, 791 out of 1327 sampled alumni claimed they have attended at least one class reunion. is the difference in the sample proportions statistically significant at the 1% level?

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value, the difference in the sample proportions is not statistically significant at the 1% level.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportions are the same, that is, their subtraction is 0, hence:

[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they are different, that is, their subtraction is not 0, hence:

[tex]H_1: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0[/tex]

The proportions and their respective standard errors are given by:

[tex]p_1 = \frac{653}{1046} = 0.6343, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.6343(0.3657)}{1046}} = 0.0149[/tex]

[tex]p_2 = \frac{791}{1327} = 0.5961, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.5961(0.4039)}{1327}} = 0.0135[/tex]

For the distribution of the difference, the mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\overline{p} = p_1 - p_2 = 0.6343 - 0.5961 = 0.0382[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.0149^2 + 0.0135^2} = 0.0201[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]p = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.0382 - 0}{0.0201}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.9[/tex]

The critical value for a two-tailed test, as we are testing if two values are different, with a significance level of 0.01, is of [tex]|z^{\ast}| = 2.576[/tex]

Since the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value, the difference in the sample proportions is not statistically significant at the 1% level.

An apple sells for 25 cents and a peach sells for 15 cents. A total of 10 fruits were sold for a total of $2.10. How many apples were sold?

Answers

Answer:

6 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 0.25

P = 0.15

----------------

A + P = 10

0.25A+0.15P=2.10

----------------

I did this: 0.25*10 = 2.50

2.50-2.10=.40

0.25-0.15=0.10

0.40/0.10 = 4 so 4 peaches

10 fruits - 4 peaches = 6 apples

B) x² + y² = 100²

The . vertical distance is three times the horizontal, or y = 3x

Answers

Answer:

y = - 0.6x + 109

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in linear form is

y = mx + c ← slope- intercept form

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (25, 94) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (55, 76) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = [tex]\frac{76-94}{55-25}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-18}{30}[/tex] = - 0.6

y = - 0.6x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute any ordered pair from the table into the partial equation

Using (45, 82 ) , then

82 = - 27 + c ⇒ c = 82 + 27 = 109

y = - 0.6x + 109

solve for c.

Josh, Ben and Rick have 70 marbles altogether. The ratio of the number marbles Josh has to the number of marbles Rick has is 1: 2. However, Ben has 15 marbles fewer than Rick. How many marbles does Ben have?

Answers

Answer:

Ben has 19 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

First taking that josh and ricks ratio is 1:2, this would set up in an equation as [tex]2j = r[/tex] and with ben having 15 less than rick, his formula would be [tex]r = b + 15[/tex] as well as the total of all the boys marbles together being this [tex]j+r+b=70[/tex]

Now we put all of these equations into a set to answer them.

[tex]2j = r\\ r = b + 15\\j+r+b=70[/tex]

First we solve for j

[tex]2j = r\\ j=\frac{1}{2} r[/tex]

Then substitute j

[tex]j+r+b=70\\ \frac{1}{2}r+r+b=70\\ 2b+3r=140[/tex]

Then simplify and multiply by 2 to even out

[tex]r = b + 15\\ -b+r=15\\2b+3r=140[/tex]

Now eliminate the b variable and combine equations

[tex]2b+3r=140\\-2b+2r=30[/tex]

[tex]5r=170[/tex]

Now divide and solve for r

[tex]5r=170\\r=34[/tex]

Now we know Rick has 34 marbles of the 70 marbles, so we can substitute his number back into the original equation

[tex]-b+34=15\\b=19[/tex]

Now we know Ben has 19 marbles of the remaining 36, and can substitute his number as well

[tex]j=\frac{1}{2}(34)\\j=17[/tex]

And now we know how much everyone has, to check we rewrite all the equations with their respective numbers

[tex]11+34+19=70\\2(17)=34\\34=19+15[/tex]

[tex]70=70\\34=34\\34=34[/tex]

Which means the ordered pairing of (b, j, r) is (19, 17, 34)
