Jillian is selling boxes of cookies to raise money for her basketball team. the 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box costs $5.00. at the end of one week, she collected $97.50, selling a total of 24 boxes. the system of equations that models her sales is below. x+ y= 24 3.50x + 5.00y = 97.50 solve the system of equations. how many 10 oz. boxes were sold?
a. 6
b. 9
c. 12
d. 15

Answers

we have to solve simultaneous equations.

x = 10 oz. boxes

y = 16 oz. boxes

simultaneous equations

x + y = 24 ---1)

3.50x + 5.00y = 97.50 2)

to solve for x we need to eliminate y, therefore we have to multiply 1st equation by 5

5x + 5y = 120 --3)

subtract 3) - 2)

5x - 3.50x = 120 - 97.50

1.50x = 22.5 x = 15

number of 10 oz. boxes are 15. answer is d.15

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
