You own a catering company and are in charge of an engagement party. There are two dinners: a chicken dish, which costs $40, and a lobster dish, which costs $70. The 250 party guests have ordered their meals in advance, and the total cost to prepare the dinner is $13 570. How many of each type of dinner are you preparing?

Answers

Answer 1

The number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

How to find the number of each type of dish.

Let

x = number of chicken dish and y = number of lobster dishHow to determine the equations for the linear system

Since it cost $40 per dish for chicken dish, the total cost of chicken dish is 40x.

Also, since it cost $70 per dish for lobster dish, the total cost of lobster dish is 70y

So, the total cost of dish is T = 40x + 70y

Also, we know that the total cost of dish is $13,570.

So, 40x + 70y = 13570  (1)

Also, there are going to be 250 guest at the dinner and thus 250 dishes.

So, the total number of dishes is x + y = 250

So, x + y = 250 (2)

So, the equations of the linear system are

40x + 70y = 13570  (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

How to determine the solution for the linear system

Since

40x + 70y = 13570  (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

From (2), x = 250 - y

Substituting x into (1), we have

40x + 70y = 13570  (1)

40(250 - y) + 70y = 13570  (1)

10000 - 40y + 70y = 13570  

30y = 13570 - 10000

30y = 3570

y = 3570/30

y = 119

Substituting y = 119 into x, we have

x = 250 - y

x = 250 - 119

x = 131

Therefore, the number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

Find the mean of the following group of numbers: 6. 1, 5. 9, 4. 2, 5. 9, and 10. 7. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:

6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

the "mean" of a data set is what we commonly refer to as the average. We find this estimate of values by adding up all of the values of the data set, and then dividing by the number of values we added together.

{for example: the mean [average] of 1, 5, 6:

1 + 5 + 6 = 12

12 ÷ 3 [we have 3 numbers] = 4}

our values:

6.1 ; 5.9 ; 4.2 ; 5.9 ; 10.7

> 6.1 + 5.9 + 4.2 + 5.9 + 10.7 = 32.8

[we have 5 numbers]

32.8 / 5 =  6.56

when rounding a number, we look to the digit one place to the right. If it is greater than or equal to 5, we "round up" our digit [we move it up to the next digit]

if it is less than 5, we keep our digit the same

(the tenths place =  _  . _ _ _  ones. tenths)

so if we round 6.56 to the nearest tenth:

6.56

[6 > 5]

6.6

So, the mean of this data set rounded to the nearest tenth is 6.6

hope this helps!!

Answer: 6.6

Step-by-Step Solution:

Values in the Data Set :-
6.1, 5.9, 4.2, 5.9, and 10.7

Sum of all Values (S) = 32.8
Number of Values (N) = 5

Mean of Data = S/N

Therefore,
= 32.8/5
= 328/50
= 6.56
=> 6.6

Mean of Data = 6.6

Parallel lines are those lines that do not meet at any point. If we draw a triangle abc and plot points d and f are marked on side ab and points e and g are marked on side ac then the line segment fg is parallel to de because both the line segments are drawn from the points which are on the sides opposite to each other.

Sunil draws a regular hexagon and a convex quadrilateral on a sheet of paper, so that no side of the quadrilateral lies on the same line as a side of the hexagon. what is the maximum total number of points in which the sides of the quadrilateral can intersect the sides of the hexagon?

Answers

Maximum total 8 points in which the sides of the quadrilateral can intersect the sides of the hexagon.

A regular hexagon is a closed shape polygon which has six equal sides and six equal angles. In case of any regular polygon, all its sides and angles are equal.

A convex quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon that has interior angles that measure less than 180 degrees each. The diagonals are contained entirely inside of these quadrilaterals

Take a look at just one side of the quadrilateral—a straight line. Since we are told that no side of the quadrilateral lies on the same line as a side of the hexagon, the maximum number of times a side of the quadrilateral could intersect the hexagon is 2. We can use a ruler to test this on the image of the hexagon. There is no way to pass a straight line through the hexagon and have it intersect the shape more than 2 times. Therefore, the maximum number of points at which the quadrilateral could intersect the hexagon would be

at 2 points per side, at 2 × 4 = 8 points.

Hence, Maximum total 8 points in which the sides of the quadrilateral can intersect the sides of the hexagon.

By trigonometric functions and law of cosines, the value of x associated with a missing angle in the geometric system is between 7.701 and 7.856.

How to find a missing variable associated to an angle by trigonometry

In this question we have a geometric system that includes a right triangle, whose missing angle is determined by the following trigonometric function:

sin (7 · x + 4) = 12/14

7 · x + 4 = sin⁻¹ (12/14)

7 · x + 4 ≈ 58.997°

7 · x = 54.997°

x ≈ 7.856

In addition, the geometric system also includes a obtuse-angle triangle and that angle can be also found by the law of the cosine:

7² = 8² + 6² - 2 · (8) · (6) · cos (7 · x + 4)

17/32 = cos (7 · x + 4)

7 · x + 4 = cos⁻¹ (17/32)

7 · x + 4 ≈ 57.910°

7 · x ≈ 53.910°

x ≈ 7.701

Hence, we conclude that the value of x associated with a missing angle in the geometric system is between 7.701 and 7.856.

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -x - 2 through the

Answers

Answer:

y = -x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form :

   y = mx + b    where m = slope and 'b' is the y-axis intercept

y = -x-2    is in this form.....  slope m = -1      b = -2

   the parallel line will have the same slope = -1 and will look like

        y = -x + b

       to calculate the value of 'b' for this line, substitute in the point given:

             -2 = - (4) + b      shows b = 2

  so your line becomes   y = -x + 2

Answer:

  y =-x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line:

    Parallel lines have same slope.

     y = -x - 2

Compare with the equation of the line in slope y-intercept form: y =mx + b

Slope = m = -1

So, equation of line: y = -x + b

Point(4 ,-2) is going through this line. so, substitute x = 4 & y = -2 in the above equation.
