Answer:
657 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Represent the amount of fertilizer with x and the yield with y.
So, we have:


Required:
Determine the yield (y) when fertilizer (x) is 73ft^3
Using linear interpolation, we have:

Substitute the x and y values using
and
;
We have:




Open bracket



To solve for y when x = 73.
We simply substitute 73 for x



<em>Hence, the yield for 73 cubic feet is 657 pounds</em>
The goal here is to find the cost of the painting BEFORE the 60% increase.
To find the cost of the painting, we must take in the information we already have:
Increase percent: 60%
Original price: unknown
Price after increase: $400
$400 is the price of the painting AFTER the increase has been added. So this equals the cost of the painting before the increase, plus the total amount of the increase (which is 60% of the original price).
The total must be (100% + 60% = 160%) 160% of the original painting price.
To find the original price, we must divide the increased price by the new percentage (160%). But how do we get here?
Well, we have 160% and our (fraction) $400/1%. We will have to switch the 160% and the 1%, giving us..
1% $400/160%
We take 400/160, which is 2.5. But this is only 1% of the original price! We want 100%.
So now, we multiply the 2.5 by 100 to get our answer: $250.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Answer (the system of equations input doesn't work, so there is no brace):
x = 1.5y
x + y =800
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify the vital information:
- 800 total students
- 1.5 times as many boys as girls
So, if x = number of boys and y = number of girls, we can agree that:
x = 1.5y
And because there are 800 kids in total, we can agree that:
x + y = 800
There are 320 girls and 480 boys. (see below)
Since you have the value of x, 1.5y, you can plug-in the value:
x + y = 800
1.5 + y = 800
2.5y = 800
y = 320 girls
Plug-in the y-value into the equation for the number of boys:
x = 1.5y
x = 1.5(320)
x = 480 boys
To double-check:
320 + 480 = 800 ☺
