(03.05 mc) shirley wants to buy a skateboard for $64. she has $98 in her account. she spent $10.85 to buy stationary. she also wants to buy some cookies for $1.65 each. what is the maximum number of cookies, n, that shirley can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard? n ≥ 14 n ≤ 16 n ≤ 14 n ≥ 16

  n ≤ 14

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to work this problem is to assume that Shirley has already spent her money on the skateboard and stationery, then look at how many cookies she can buy with what's left.

The amount remaining after the desired purchases is ...

  $98 -64 -10.85 = $23.15

Then her n cookies will have to satisfy ...

  1.65n ≤ 23.15

Dividing by the coefficient of n gives ...

  n ≤ 14.0303_03 . . . . a repeating decimal equivalent to 1/33

Since Shirley can only buy whole numbers of cookies, the maximum number she can buy is 14. That is, ...

  n ≤ 14

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
