A restaurant sells basic lunches for $6 and supreme lunches for $8. You buy 12 lunches, represented
by the equation x + y = 12, where x is the number of basic lunches and y is the number of supreme
lunches. The equation 6x + 8y = 88 represents the total cost. How many of each type of lunch did you
buy?

There are two major tests of readiness for college: the act and the sat. act scores are reported on a scale from 1 to 36. the distribution of act scores in recent years has been roughly normal with mean µ = 20.9 and standard deviation s = 4.8. sat scores are reported on a scale from 400 to 1600. sat scores have been roughly normal with mean µ = 1026 and standard deviation s = 209. reports on a student's act or sat usually give the percentile as well as the actual score. the percentile is just the cumulative proportion stated as a percent: the percent of all scores that were lower than this one. tanya scores 1260 on the sat. what is her percentile (± 1)?
