A vendor sells h hot dogs and s sodas. If a hot dog costs twice as much as a soda, and if the vendor takes in a total of d dollars, how many cents does a soda cost? Let the cost of the soda be p. So the cost of a hot dog is 2p. The total cost of hot dogs: 2hp The total cost of sodas: ps The total cost of both equals d. So we set the total cost of hots dogs plus sodas equal to d: 2hp + ps = d We want to know the cost of a soda (p). So we have a literal equation. We factor out p from the left side: p(2h + s) = d Divide each side of the equation by (2h + s) p(2h + s)/(2h + s) = d/(2h + s) Cancel the (2h + s) on the left side, we get: p = [B]d/(2h + s[/B])

A young dad, who was a star football player in college, set up a miniature football field for his five-year-old young daughter, who was already displaying an unusual talent for place-kicking. At each end of the mini-field, he set up goal posts so she could practice kicking extra points and field goals. He was very careful to ensure the goalposts were each straight up and down and that the crossbars were level. On each set, the crossbar was six feet long, and a string from the top of each goalpost to the midpoint between them on the ground measured five feet. How tall were the goalposts? How do you know this to be true? The center of each crossbar is 3 feet from each goalpost. We get this by taking half of 6, since midpoint means halfway. Imagine a third post midway between the two goal posts. It has the same height as the two goalposts. From the center post, the string from the top of a goalpost to the base of the center post, and half the crossbar form and right triangle with hypotenuse 5 feet and one leg 3 feet.

Barney has $450 and spends $3 each week. Betty has $120 and saves $8 each week. How many weeks will it take for them to have the same amount of money? Let w be the number of weeks that go by for saving/spending. Set up Barney's balance equation, B(w). Spending means we [U]subtract[/U] B(w) = Initial Amount - spend per week * w weeks B(w) = 450 - 3w Set up Betty's balance equation, B(w). Saving means we [U]add[/U] B(w) = Initial Amount + savings per week * w weeks B(w) = 120 + 8w The same amount of money means both of their balance equations B(w) are equal. So we set Barney's balance equal to Betty's balance and solve for w: 450 - 3w = 120 + 8w Add 3w to each side to isolate w: 450 - 3w + 3w = 120 + 8w + 3w Cancelling the 3w on the left side, we get: 450 = 120 + 11w Rewrite to have constant on the right side: 11w + 120 = 450 Subtract 120 from each side: 11w + 120 - 120 = 450 - 120 Cancelling the 120's on the left side, we get: 11w = 330 To solve for w, we divide each side by 11 11w/11 = 330/11 Cancelling the 11's on the left side, we get: w = [B]30 [MEDIA=youtube]ifG_q-utgJI[/MEDIA][/B]

Lindsey took a total of 8 quizzes over the course of 2 weeks. After attending 5 weeks of school this quarter, how many quizzes will Lindsey have taken in total? Assume the relationship is directly proportional. Since the relationship is directly proportional, set up a proportion of quizzes to weeks, where q is the number of quizzes Lindsey will take in 5 weeks: 8/2 = q/5 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/prop.php?num1=8&num2=q&den1=2&den2=5&propsign=%3D&pl=Calculate+missing+proportion+value']We type this proportion into our search engine[/URL], and we get: [B]q = 20 [/B] Another way to look at this is, Lindsey takes 8 quizzes over 2 weeks.

(Round the answer to two decimal places) (a) 100(0.1) + 50(0.1) + 10(0.2) - 20 = 10 + 5 + 2 - 20 = [B]-3[/B] (b) 3.3 using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/statbasic.php?num1=+100,50,10&num2=+0.1,0.1,0.2&usep=usep&pl=Number+Set+Basics']standard deviation calculator[/URL]

Let us take an integer x which is both even [I]and[/I] odd. [LIST] [*]As an even integer, we write x in the form 2m for some integer m [*]As an odd integer, we write x in the form 2n + 1 for some integer n [/LIST] Since both the even and odd integers are the same number, we set them equal to each other 2m = 2n + 1 Subtract 2n from each side: 2m - 2n = 1 Factor out a 2 on the left side: 2(m - n) = 1 By definition of divisibility, this means that 2 divides 1. But we know that the only two numbers which divide 1 are 1 and -1. Therefore, our original assumption that x was both even and odd must be false. [MEDIA=youtube]SMM9ubEVcLE[/MEDIA]
