Fraction : 60/100
Percent : 60%
Given:
x = candy selling at 6 per pound
y = candy selling at 9 per pound
x + y = 15
6x + 9y = 15(7)
6x + 9y = 105
x = 15 - y
6(15-y) + 9y = 105
90 - 6y + 9y = 105
3y = 105 - 90
3y = 15
3y/3 = 15/3
y = 5
There should be 5 pounds of more expensive candy.
x = 15 - y
x = 15 - 5
x =10
There should be 10 pounds of less expensive candy.
Answer:
.18 % increase
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would find what the difference is between the school enrollment
you would do 1456 - 1234 = 222
Then you would divide 1234/1456 = 84.75% to see the total percentage
The increase however has a percentage of .18%
To check your work you would do .18 x 1234 = 222.12 ( round to the nearest whole number so it would just be 222) then add 1234+ 222 = 1456!
Answer:
a(n) = 7*2^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term of the given geometric sequence, 7, 14, 28, 56, 112, ... , is 7, and the common ratio is 2. Each new term is twice the previous term.
Thus the general formula for the geometric sequence becomes
a(n) = 7*2^(n - 1).
As a check, let's see whether this formula correctly predicts the fourth term (56): Here n = 4, and so a(4) = 7*2^(4 - 1) = 7*2^3 = 7*8 = 56. Yes.
-10 and 2
-10 x 2 = -20
-10 + 2 = -8
