Answer:

The percentage of yellow beans in the bowl of 84 is approximately 31%.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are given with a word problem
  • We are asked to find the total percentage of yellow jelly beans
  • We can do this two steps

         Step 1: Finding the number of yellows beans in each bags

         Step 2: Finding the total percentage of yellow beans

Step 1 of 2

We are given that the three bags contain 26,28 and 30 beans totally in which the percent of yellow beans are 50%, 25% and 20% respectively.

We have to find the number of yellow beans in each bag.

$=\frac{50}{100} \times 26$$

The number of yellow beans in first bag

$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{2} \times 26=13 \\&=\frac{25}{100} \times 28\end{aligned}$$

The number of yellow beans in second bag

$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{4} \times 28=7 \\&=\frac{20}{100} \times 30 \\&\frac{1}{5} \times 30=6\end{aligned}$$

The number of yellow beans in third bag

Step 2 of 2

From the first step we got the number of yellow beans in each bags.

The total number of yellow beans in the bowl =13+7+6

The total number of beans in the bowl

$$\begin{aligned}=26 &+28+30 \\=& 84 \\&=\frac{26}{84} \times 100\end{aligned}$$

The percentage of yellow bean in the bowl

$$\begin{gathered}\approx 0.3095 \times 100 \\\approx 0.31 \times 100 \\\approx 31\end{gathered}$$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out the number of yellow beans in each bag:

Bag A: 0.5*26 = 13 beans

Bag B: 0.25*28 = 7 beans

Bag C: 0.2*30 = 6 beans

The total number of beans in the bowl: 26+28+30 = 84

Total number of yellow beans: 13+7+6 = 26

Percentage of yellow beans: 26/84 *100 = 30.9523

Rounded answer: 31%

Gerardo works at an ice cream shop each flavor of ice cream is stored in a right cylindrical tub that measures approximately 9 i
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Volume left = 404.32 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cylinder = \pir^{2}h

volume of ice cream in the cylindrical tub = \frac{22}{7} x 5^{2} x 9

                                           = \frac{22}{7} x 25 x 9

                                           = 707.1429

Volume of ice cream in the cylindrical tub is 707.14 cubic inches.

The ice cream scoop has a spherical volume, so that;

volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pir^{3}

r = \frac{2.5}{2}

 = \frac{5}{4} inches

volume of the scoop = \frac{4}{3} x \frac{22}{7} x (\frac{5}{4} )^{3}

                                  = \frac{4}{3} x \frac{22}{7} x \frac{125}{64}

                                  = 8.1845

volume of the scoop is 8.19 cubic inches.

If he scoops 37 scoops,

volume of the 37 scoops = 37 x 8.1845

                                          = 302.8265

volume of 37 scoops is 302.83 cubic inches.

Volume of ice cream left in the tub = 707.1429 - 302.8265

                                                           = 404.3164

Volume of ice cream left in the tub is 404.32 cubic inches.
