A knife is three times the cost of a spoon. 9 spoons and 12 knifes cost ?82.80 workout the cost of 1 knife.

Answers

Answer 1

Let S = spoon

Let K = knife


1 knife is thee times the cost of a spoon, so it would be 3S

Now you have 9S + 12K = 82.80

We can replace the K with 3S:

9S +12(3S) = 82.80

Simplify the left side:

9S + 36S = 82.80

Add:

45S = 82.80

Divide both sides by 45"

S = 82.80 / 45

S = 1.84

One spoon cost $1.84


We know one knife cost 3 times as much, so multiply the cost of a spoon by 3:

Knife = 1.84 x 3 = $5.52

Answer 2

Answer:

1.84 x 3 = $5.52

At the county fair, the operator of a game guesses a contestant’s weight. For each pound the operator’s guess differs from the contestant’s weight, the contestant will receive \$3$3. A contestant weighing xx pounds received \$15$15 when the operator guessed 120120 pounds. Which of the following equations could be used to solve for the weight of the contestant? Choose 1 answer: 3 | x - 15 | = 120

Answers

Answer:   [tex]| x - \frac{15}{3} | = 120[/tex]  or [tex]\frac{1}{3}| 3 x - 15|= 120[/tex] or  [tex]| 3x - 15| = 360[/tex] or  [tex]| x - 5 | = 120[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

For each pound the operator’s guess differs from the contestant’s weight, the contestant will receive $3.

And, If a contestant weighing x pounds received $15

Then the guessed weight of contestant = [tex]| x - \frac{15}{3} |[/tex]

But,  Again according to the question,

The guessed weight is 120 pounds,

Thus, [tex]| x - \frac{15}{3}|= 120[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{3}| 3 x - 15|= 120[/tex]

⇒  [tex]| 3x - 15|= 3\times 120[/tex] (by multiplying 3 on both sides)

A ticket cost $4.80 the new ticket price will be 1.25 times the old price what will the new ticket be

Answers

It's 6 because you times 4.80 times 1.25 and it's equivalent to 6
Final answer:

The new ticket price after a 25% increase from the original price of $4.80 will be $6.00.

Explanation:

The question asks about the new cost of a ticket if its current price is $4.80 and a 25% (or 1.25 times) increase is applied, so we perform a simple multiplication. To find out the new ticket price, we need to calculate 1.25 times the original price. Therefore, the new ticket price will be 1.25 times $4.80, which can be calculated as follows:

1.25 * $4.80 = $6.00

Hence, the new ticket price after the 25% increase will be $6.00.

Three times one number minus another number equals 34. If the sum of the numbers is 22, what are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer:

8 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y

We can model the situation using the following 2 equations

x + y = 22 → (1)

3x - y = 34 → (2)

adding the equations term by term will eliminate the term in y

(x + 3x) + (y - y) = (22 + 34)

4x = 56 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 14

substitute x = 14 into (1)

14 + y = 22 ⇒ y = 22 - 14 = 8







A salesperson earns a salary of $700 per month plus 2% of the sales. Which inequality correctly represents the total sales if the salesperson is to have a monthly income of at least $1800?



x ≤ $45,000




x ≤ $55,000




x ≥ $55,000




x ≥ $45,000

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex]x\geq 55000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let x be the total monthly sales.

We have been given that a salesperson earns a salary of $700 per month plus 2% of the sales. The salesperson want to have a monthly income of at least $1800.  

This means that 700 plus 2% of total monthly sales should be greater than or equal to 1800. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]700+(\frac{2}{100})x\geq 1800[/tex]

[tex]700+0.02x\geq 1800[/tex]

Let us solve our inequality to find the monthly sales (x).

Subtract 700 from both sides of our inequality.

[tex]700-700+0.02x\geq 1800-700[/tex]

[tex]0.02x\geq 1100[/tex]

Divide both sides of inequality by 0.02.

[tex]\frac{0.02x}{0.02}\geq \frac{1100}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex]x\geq \frac{1100}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 55000[/tex]

Therefore, the total monthly sales must be greater than or equal to 55,000 and option C is the correct choice.

A middle school keeps track of its population. In 2011, the school population was 1500 students. In 2012, the student population had increased by 10%. In 2013, the student population had decreased by 10%. Andy believes that the 2013 student population is the same as the 2011 student population since the population both increased and decreased by the same percentage. Identify and explain the flaw in Andy's reasoning. Determine the percent change in the number of students from 2011 to 2013.

Answers

Answer:

-1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The population will not be the same unless the starting value is the same. Percent is a portion of the total 100%. If the total in 2011 and 2012 was different, then the change in population will be different.

In 2011, the population was 1500 students.In 2012, the population was 10% more than 1500. 1500+1500(0.10)=1500+150=1650In 2013, the population decreased by 10% from 1650.                          1650-1650(0.10)=1650-165=1485.

To find the percent change,

To calculate the percent increase or decrease, we:

Find the difference between the new value and the original Divide the number by the original Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.

The population originally in 2011 was 1500. In 12013, the population is 1485.

1485-1500=-15

-15/1500=-0.01

100(-0.01)=-1%

0.75(100)=75%

The towns population increase by 75%



Final answer:

Andy's reasoning is flawed because the percentage increase and percentage decrease do not result in the same net change in population. The percent change in the number of students from 2011 to 2013 is a 1% decrease.

Explanation:

Andy's reasoning is flawed because the percentage increase and percentage decrease do not result in the same net change in population. Let's calculate the population in 2012 after a 10% increase. 10% of 1500 students is 150 students. So the population in 2012 would be 1500 + 150 = 1650 students.

Now, let's calculate the population in 2013 after a 10% decrease from 1650 students. 10% of 1650 students is 165 students. So the population in 2013 would be 1650 - 165 = 1485 students.

To determine the percent change in the number of students from 2011 to 2013, we calculate the difference between the initial population (1500 students) and the final population (1485 students) and divide it by the initial population. (1500 - 1485) / 1500 = 15 / 1500 = 0.01 or 1%. Therefore, there was a 1% decrease in the number of students from 2011 to 2013.

Lisa's favorite chocolate candies are wrapped in the shape of a triangular prism with shiny gold paper as shown below. If all sides of the package are covered in the gold paper, what is the surface area of the amount that is wrapped?

Answers

Answer:

Surface Area = 150


Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of this triangular prism is the sum of area of all the sides.

Surface Area = triangle 1 (with base 8 and height 3) + triangle 2 (same as triangle 1) + lateral surface 1 (with length 7 and width 5 (calculation shown below)) + lateral surface 2 (same as lateral surface 1) + bottom (side not shown with length 7 and width 8)

Triangle 1 area: [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(8)(3)=12[/tex]Triangle 2 area: [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(8)(3)=12[/tex]Lateral surface 1 (rectangle): [tex]l*w=(7)(5)=35[/tex]Lateral surface 2 (rectangle): [tex]l*w=(7)(5)=35[/tex]Bottom surface (rectangle): [tex]l*w=(7)(8)=56[/tex]

Summing all these gives us the total surface area.

=>11/36 - 7/36

Answer:

heres why

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to subtract 7/9 from 11/12:

11

12

−  

7

9

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 11 by 9, and get 99.

Then we multiply 7 by 12, and get 84.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 9 = 108.

So now our fractions look like this:

99

108

−  

84

108

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

99 − 84 = 15

So the answer is:

15

108

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 3? Yes! So we reduce it:

15

108

÷ 3 =  

5

36

Let's try dividing by 3 again...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

No good. 7 is larger than 5. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! The final answer is:

11

Statement 1 is true because the perpendicular bisectors intersect at the center of the circumcircle.

Since the two triangles have the same circumcircle, therefore, their perpendicular bisectors intersect at the same point. So statement I is true.

Statement II: The distance from C to D is the same as the distance from D to E.

Since they both, that is distance from C to D and the distance from D to E represent the radius of the circle therefore, they both are equal in length.

Therefore, only I and II are correct.

One factor of f(x)5x^3+5x^2-170+280 is (x + 7). What are all the roots of the function? Use the Remainder Theorem.


a. x = –4, x = –2, or x = 7

b. x = –7, x = 2, or x = 4

c. x = –7, x = 5, or x = 280

d. x = –280, x = –5, or x = 7

Answers

Answer: (b) x = -7, x = 2, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remainder Theorem is used to determine if a given value is a root.

It is stated that (x + 7) is a root ⇒ x + 7 = 0  ⇒ x = -7

We can confirm this by plugging in x = -7 and getting a value of 0.

f(x) = 5x³ + 5x² - 170x + 280

f(-7) = 5(-7)³ + 5(-7)² - 170(-7) + 280

      = -1715 + 245 + 1190 + 280

     = 0

CONFIRMED that x = -7 is a zero!

Next, let's try x = 2

f(2) = 5(2)³ + 5(2)² - 170(2) + 280

      = 40 + 20 - 340 + 280

     = 0

CONFIRMED that x = 2 is a zero!

Lastly, let's try x = 4

f(4) = 5(4)³ + 5(4)² - 170(4) + 280

      = 320 + 80 - 680 + 280

     = 0

CONFIRMED that x = 4 is a zero!

A model for a company's revenue from selling a software package is R(p) = -2.5p² + 500p, where p is the price in dollars of the software. What price will maximize revenue? Find the maximum revenue.

The price $_____ maximizes the revenue.
The maximum revenue is $_____.

Answers

Answer: p = $100,  R = $25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum is the y-value of the Vertex.

Step 1: Use the Axis-Of-Symmetry (AOS) formula to find x: [tex]x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

R(p) = -2.5p² + 500p

        a=-2.5  b=500

[tex]p=\dfrac{-(500)}{2(-2.5)}[/tex]

   [tex]=\dfrac{-500}{-5}[/tex]

   [tex]=100[/tex]


Step 2: Find the maximum by plugging the p-value (above) into the given equation.

R(100) = -2.5(100)² + 500(100)

          = -25,000 + 50,000

          = 25,000

The price that maximizes revenue for the software package is $100, and the maximum revenue attainable is $25,000 based on the given revenue function R(p).

To find the price that maximizes revenue and the maximum revenue itself, we can use the given revenue function R(p) = -2.5p² + 500p.

To find the price that maximizes revenue, we need to find the vertex of the quadratic function, as the vertex represents the maximum point. The formula for the x-coordinate (price in this case) of the vertex of a quadratic function in the form of ax² + bx + c is given by:

x_vertex = -b / (2a)

In our case, a = -2.5 and b = 500:

x_vertex = -500 / (2 * (-2.5))

x_vertex = -500 / (-5)

x_vertex = 100

So, the price that maximizes revenue is $100.

To find the maximum revenue, we need to substitute this price back into the revenue function:

R(100) = -2.5(100)² + 500(100)

R(100) = -2.5 * 10000 + 50000

R(100) = -25000 + 50000

R(100) = 25000

Give the starting value a, the growth factor b, and the growth rate r if Q = abt = a(1 + r)t . Write r as a percent.

Answers

Answer:

Option a:

a=79

b=1.002

r=0.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Q = 79 (1.002)^t

Q = a b^t = a (1+r)^t

Comparing with the formulas:

a=79

b=1.002

1+r=1.002

Solving for r: Subtrating 1 both sides of the equation:

1+r-1 = 1.002 - 1

r = 0.002

Writting r as percent:

r = (0.002) 100%

r = 0.2%

Answer:

Each individual investment changed by $2250 due to the loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Brian Steve and Rita invested a total of $24,000 in a business.

Each person invested the same amount. So amount invested by each person is

[tex]\frac{24000}{2}=12000[/tex]

Therefore invested by each person is $12000.

They suffered a loss of $4500, which they shared equally. Each individual  suffered a loss of

[tex]\frac{4500}{2}=2250[/tex]

Therefore Brian Steve and Rita suffered a loss of $2250 each. So, each individual investment changed by $2250 due to the loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margo purchases bulk teas from a warehouse and marks up those prices by 40% for retail sale. When teas go unsold for more than two months, Margo marks down the retail price by 40%. She says that she is breaking Even that is, she is getting the same price for the tea that she paid for it. Is she correct? Complete the explanation.

Answers

Answer:

Margo is incorrect.She is selling tea in loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of teas when purchased from the warehouse = $ x

Then Margo marks retail price of teas a = x + 0.40 x

                                       a = x (1 +0.40)

                                       a = 1.4 x

After 2 months she marks down the retail price by 40% then retail price becomes b = 1.4 x - 40% of 1.4 x

               b = 1.4 x - 0.4 x 1.4 x

               b = 1.4 x - 0.56 x

               b = 0.84 x

Difference between cost price and selling price b is = x - .84 x

                                                                                      = 0.16 x

which shows now Margo is selling under the cost price so Margo is incorrect.

     

Final answer:

Margo is not correct in saying that she is breaking even by marking down the retail price by 40% when teas go unsold for more than two months. In fact, she is losing money on those teas.

Explanation:

Margo is not correct in saying that she is breaking even by marking down the retail price by 40% when teas go unsold for more than two months. In fact, she is losing money on those teas. Let's break it down:

When Margo purchases bulk teas from the warehouse, she marks up the prices by 40% for retail sale. This means if she buys a tea for $10, she sells it for $14.However, when the teas go unsold for more than two months, Margo marks down the retail price by 40%. So if she initially sold the tea for $14, she now sells it for $8.40.This means that for every tea that goes unsold for more than two months, Margo is losing $1.60 ($10 - $8.40).

Therefore, Margo is not breaking even, she is actually making a loss by marking down the price of unsold teas.
