Adam and Daniel are selling cheesecakes for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy pecan cheesecakes and chocolate marble cheesecakes. Adam sold 8 pecan cheesecakes and 6 chocolate marble cheesecakes for a total of $182. Daniel sold 7 pecan cheesecakes and 12 chocolate marble cheesecakes for a total of $274. What is the cost each of one pecan cheesecake and one chocolate marble cheesecake?

Answers

Answer 1

Using simultaneous equations, the cost of each pecan cheesecake and chocolate marble cheesecake is as follows:

Pecan Cheesecake = $10Chocolate Marble Cheesecake = $17.

What are simultaneous equations?

Simultaneous equations are a system of equations (two or more equations) solved concurrently or simultaneously.

                                  Pecan    Chocolate   Total Revenue

Adam's sales                8                6                   $182

Daniel's sales               7               12                  $274

Let sales units of Pecan = p and sales units of chocolate = c

Equations:

Equation 1: 8p + 6c = 182

Equation 2: 7P + 12C = 274

Multiply Equation 1 by 2:

Equation 3: 16p + 12c = 364

Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3:

16p + 12c = 364

-

7P + 12C = 274

9p = 90

p = 10

= $10

Substitute, p = 10, in Equation 1:

8p + 6c = 182

8(10) + 6c = 182

80 + 6c = 182

6c = 102

c = 17

= $17

Check:

8p + 6c = 182

8(10) + 6(17) = 182

80 + 102 = 182

Thus, based on a system of equations, the pecan cheesecake costs $10 per unit while the chocolate marble cheesecake costs $17 per unit.

Decimal =
0.875

Explanation:
The answer that has already been given is perfect in and by itself. I just want to give you some methods for doing these type of questions so that you won't stagger when you see these type of questions in exams (like the SAT).
Whenever you see such questions, remember the following things. These are conversions of English words to Mathematical tools.
What
=
Any variable like
x

Percent / Percentage / %
=
Divide by 100

Put an equal to (

) sign
I'll give you an example through a question.
What percent of 200 is 5?
Ans: Replace English words by mathematical tools according to the rules I told you.
x
( What) /100 ( percent)
×
( of) 200
=
( is) 5
In a refined form,
x
100
×
200
=
5

Calculate x. On calculating, x comes out to be
2.5

So, 2.5 percent of 200 is 5.
Now your question is actually very simple if you follow my rules.
You want 87.5%. By the rules, % means divided by 100. So
87.5
%
=
87.5
100
and now using the same strategy, Ans:
875
1000

Disregard the next section if you know how to convert a decimal to a fraction
Section Starts
First, I'll write the decimal form. Whenever you divide by a number that is in form of 1 followed by
n
number of zeroes. (here 1 is followed by 2 zeroes), you should shift the decimal point to the left side by n places.
In this case, shift decimal point in 87.5 to the left by 2 places. So this becomes 0.875.
This is the answer in decimal point.
Now simultaneously, I'll teach you how to convert a decimal into a fraction.
Here, you see 2 types of "numbers". One to the left side of the decimal point and one to the right side of the decimal point.
Here, left side of decimal point is 0 and right side of decimal point is 875.
Count the number of digits in the number to the right side of the decimal point (Here, the number of digits is 3)
Remove the decimal point and divide the number by a number formed by 1 followed by the "digits" we obtained (i.e. 3).
So, 875/1000. Simplify this, and you get your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the circle is not shaded in, it doesn't count the number it's on:

So it would be a < or >.

Because this is on a number line and the shaded part goes to the left, it will be < because it points to the left.

The non-shaded circle is on 4, so your answer, x, will be:

x < 4

But the answer choices don't have this, meaning you have to simplify all of them.

The first one is:

x + 9 < 5

x < -4

x - 5 < 9

x < 14

x + 5 < 9

x < 4

x - 9 < 5

x < 14

So it would be C.

Rodrigo practiced playing the guitar 15 1/3 hours over the past 3 weeks.
He practiced for 5 1/4 hours during the first week and 5 2/3 hours during the second week.
How much time did Rodrigo spend practicing during the third week? Use the numbers and symbols to select the equation that represents the problem. Then solve the equation. Symbols may be used more than once or not at all.
15 1/3, 5 1/4, 5 2/3, x, =, and +.

The equation that represents the problem is
a. 15 1/3 = x - 5 1/4 - 5 2/3
b. x = 15 1/3 + 5 1/4 + 5 2/3
c. x + 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3

• The circumcenter is at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle's sides.

• The circumcenter is equidistant fromeach vertex of the triangle.

• The circumcenter is equidistant from each side of the triangle.

Option B is wrong as the circumcenter of an obtuse triangle is not always outside it. For the circumcenter, there is intersection of all the three lines and it's not important that they should always be outside.

Mr. Alvarez makes a walkway of 3 cement slabs.He uses 14 cubic feet of cement to make the walkway.Each square slab has a volume of 4 cubic feet

Answers

Answer:

I suppose that you want to see how we can find the volume of each individual slab with the given information, the procedure is as follows.

The walkway has 3 cement slabs,

He uses a total amount of 14 cubic feet to make the complete walkway.

This means that the 3 cement slabs together have a total volume of 14 ft^3

To find the volume of each slab, we need to find the quotient between the total volume and the total number of slabs, then we get:

Volume of each slab = (14 ft^3)/3 = 4 ft^3

This means that each cement slab has a volume of 4 ft^3.

Answer:

6 ft^3
