Question

Can someone please help me figure out what to do this is the directions... 1. Write an equation for the scenario given and use it to find the amount of flowers.

2. Identify is Max made an error in his work. If so, please explain what he did wrong and give the correct solution.

3. In the problem, they give you an equation. You need to use this equation to see how many adults purchased tickets if there were 5 children.

4. You can solve absolute value in order to find the max and min values.

Answer 1

I'm suppose to be doing a grading rubric

Answer 2

what is the scenario given ??

Answer 3

um idk :/ what does that mean

Answer 4

you can't make an equation without any information given

Answer 5

Want me to show you the grading Rebric

Answer 6

I guess...this can't be the whole question

Answer 7

Ok one sec

Answer 8

Ok I found it

Answer 9

Angelica's service club is selling flowers for a fundraiser. Each flower costs them $0.50 to purchase. They set the sale price of each flower at the purchase price plus 40%. Write and solve an equation to determine how many flowers they will need to sell to make a profit of $500. Use complete sentences to explain what each number and variable in your equation represents. Write your solution in the context of the original problem.

Max was solving the equation below and he isn't sure if his answer is correct. Explain to Max how he can check his answer and then help him identify any errors he made. Provide the correct solution in your explanation.

Angelo took a group of people to the movies and spent $80 on tickets. Adult tickets cost $10, and child tickets cost $6. The equation to represent his cost is 10A + 6C = $80. If there were 5 children in the group, how many adult tickets did he purchase? Show your work and use a complete sentence to explain your solution in the context of the original problem.

A quality control inspector is in charge of inspecting drill bits that are produced on an assembly line. The diameter of a drill bit can be modeled by the equation |x − 0.525| = 0.01. Show your work in solving the equation to determine the minimum and maximum diameters of the drill bits.

Answer 10

I'm going to type the equation cause it wont let me do it.

Answer 11

Here is the Equation

Answer 12

what equation did you post above ^^..where did that come from ??
sale price = purchase price + 40%
sale price = 0.50 + .4(0.50) = 0.50 + 0.20 = 0.70
so the flowers are sold at 0.70 cents a piece which gives them a profit of .20 per flower
they need to make a profit of $500
so your equation is : 0.20x = 500 -- (x represents # of flowers)
x = 500/0.2
x = 2500
2500 flowers must be sold to make a profit of $500

Answer 13

From the Instructions but i sent you the equation

Answer 14

let me check if the equation was solved correctly...give me a sec

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

mistake made...
3(3x + 6) = 4(7x - 1)
9x + 18 = 28x - 4 --- he distributed wrong here
9x - 9x + 18 = 28x - 9x - 4
18 = 19x - 4
18 + 4 = 19x
22 = 19x
22/19 = x

Answer 17

he put 28x - 1 and it should be 28x - 4

Answer 18

Thanks so much :)

Answer 19

Wait can you put that as a attach File so i can save that

Answer 20

I do not know how...I just worked it out on this post

Answer 21

I just do not see how that equation relates to the flower question

Answer 22

Idk I just copy the E-mail my teacher sent me about what to do for the module one quiz

Answer 23

Module two i meant

Answer 24

here is the problem about the tickets
10a + 6c = 80......a = adults, c = children
If there were 5 children....so sub in 5 for c
10a + 6(5) = 80
10a + 30 = 80
10a = 80 - 30
10a = 50
a = 5

check..
10a + 6c = 80
10(5) + 6(5) = 80
50 + 30 = 80
80 = 80 (correct)

there were 5 adult tickets (a) and 5 childrens tickets (c) sold

Answer 25

last one..
| x - 0.525| = .01

x - 0.525 = .01 -(x - 0.525) = 0.01
x = .01 + 0.525 -x + 0.525 = 0.01
x = 0.535 -x = 0.01 - 0.525
-x = - 0.515
x = 0.515

minimum = 0.515
maximum = 0.535

Answer 26

Thanks

Answer 27

You're the best Ty so much. :D

Answer 28

YW :)
