colleen's family plans to paint the windows of their house. her father will paint twice as many windows as her mother, and Colleen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows. Colleen decided to do her own share and her mother's share and paints 7 window, which is one less than her father's share. how many windows are in their house?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Colleen painted 7 windows, some of which were her mother's.

Her dad painted 7+1 (8) windows, and that is twice as much as what her mother was supposed to do. Her mother was supposed to do 4 windows. That means Colleen's share was 3 windows.

If all the kids had to do an equal amount of windows, than each kid had to do 3 windows.

8+7+3+3+3=24

Answer 2

The total windows in the house are 21.

What is an algebraic expression?

It is an expression contains a relation between different parameters (variables). It contains variable and constant values, along with algebraic operations.

In our given problem, the algebraic relation between different members work output and total windows can be expressed as:

Windows painted by colleen and her mother = 7

Windows painted by father = (Windows painted by colleen and her mother + 1)

                                          = (7 + 1) = 8

∴ Windows painted by father = 8

Now, as given,

2 Windows painted by mother = Windows painted by father

∴ Windows painted by mother = [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex] = 4

and Windows painted by colleen = 7 - 4 = 3

Colleen and her 2 brothers paint equal windows;

∴  They painted 3 windows each.

The total windows in the house is equal to total painted windows by mother, father, colleen and her two brothers:

⇒ 4 + 8 + 3 x 3 = 12 + 9 = 21

Hence the total windows in the house are 21.

A) q= 5/5
B) q= -5/5
C) q= 3/5

E) q= 25/5

Answers

Answer:

q = -5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

q = 5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no constant value. This must be a special case.

So,

(q+5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex])(q-5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex])

q = -5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

q = 5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A grocery store recently sold a bag of peanuts for $0.76 and a bag of Pikachu's for $3.68 at the end of the day 50 bags of peanuts and Pikachu's were sold for a total of 128 point 52 how many bags of each were sold

Answers

Answer:

31 Pikachu bags were sold.

19 peanut bags were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation of the total revenue of the day, where x is the number of Pikachu's sold.

We know that the number of Peanuts sold is 50-x (as the total needs to be 50)

We know that the total revenue is:

Number of Pikachus * Cost per Pikachus + Number of Peanuts * Cost per Peanuts

Using our definitions above:

Total Revenue = x * $3.68 + (50-x) * $0.76

We know that the revenue needs to be $128.52.

$128.52 = x * $3.68 + (50-x) * $0.76

Let's remove the $ signs.

128.52 = x * 3.68 + (50-x) * 0.76

Multiplying both 50 and -x with 0.76, "expanding" the parenthesis.

128.52 = x*3.68 + 50*0.76 - x*0.76

128.52 = x*3.68 + 38 - 0.76*x

Subtracting 38 from both sides

90.52 = 3.68*x - 0.76*x

We can simplify the right side.

90.52 = 2.92*x

We can divide both sides by 2.92:

31 = x

And flip it:

x = 31

So 31 Pikachus were sold (remember we claled that x), and as we know, the number of peanut bags sold is

50-x = 50-31 = 19

31 Pikachu bags were sold.

19 peanut bags were sold.

[tex] \LARGE{ \boxed{ \rm{ \pink{Solution:}}}}[/tex]

Let the number of peanut bags be x

Then, Number of pikachu bags = 50 - x

Given,

Cost of each peanut bag = $0.76Cost of each pikachu bag = $3.68

Then,

⇛ Total cost he gets from peanut bag = $0.76 × x

⇛ Total cost he gets from pikachu bag = $3.68(50 - x)

According to question,

⇛ $0.76x+ $3.68(50 - x) = $128.52

Solving this equation,

⇛ 0.76x + 184 - 3.68x = 128.52 (Removed $ symbol)

⇛ 184 - 2.92x = 128.52

⇛ 184 - 128.52 = 2.92x

⇛ 55.48 = 2.92x

Flipping the equation,

⇛ 2.92x = 55.48

⇛ x = 55.48 / 2.92

⇛ x = 19

Then,

⇛ 50 - x = 50 - 19 = 31
