1. A specialty shop sells gift baskets that contain three different types of candles: tapers, pillars, and jar candles. Tapers cost $1 each, pillars cost $4
each, and jar candles cost $6 each. Each basket contains 8 candles costing
a total of $24, and the number of tapers is equal to the number of pillars
and jar candles combined. Which system of equations represents the
situation, where t is the number of tapers, p is the number of pillars, and jis
the number of jar candles? *

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tapers in the basket = t

Number of pillars = p

And the number of jar candles = j

Tapers cost = $1 each

Jar candles cost = $6 each

Pillars cost = $ 4

Total number of candles in the basket = 8

Therefore, equation will be,

p + t + j = 8 (1)

Cost of the candles in the basket = $24

$1t + $4p + $6j = $24

t + 4p + 6j = 24 (2)

Since number of tapers is equal to the number of pillars and jar candles combined,

t = p + j

t - p - j = 0 (3)

Therefore, Option (B) is the answer.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130

welcome!

42%

step-by-step explanation:

we know,

total people = 60

total males = 25

percentage of males

= 25/60 × 100

= 25/6 × 10

= 25/3 × 5

= 125 / 3

= 41.

rounding of = 42%
