We conclude that after 50 days, there will be 67 lily pads.

<h3>how many will there be after 50 days?</h3>

We know that the number increases by 25% every 10 days.

In 50 days we have 5 groups of 10 days, so there will be five increases of 25%.

We know that the initial number is 22 lily pads, if we apply five consecutive increases of the 25% we get:

N = 22*(1 + 25%/100)*...*(1 + 25%/100%)

( the factor (1 + 25%/100%) appears five times)

So we can rewrite:

N = 22*(1 + 25%/100%)⁵

N = 22*(1 + 0.25)⁵ = 67.1

Which can be rounded to the nearest whole number, which is 67.

So we conclude that after 50 days, there will be 67 lily pads.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = 0.1x +1500

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

You need an equation that will give Gary a salary of $1500 even if he makes no sales (x=0). The only possible choice for the second item is then ...

... +1500

You are expected to know that Gary's commission of 10% of sales is computed by multiplying sales (x) by 10%. That is, if Gary sells $100 worth of items, his commission is ...

... 10% × $100 = $10

That is, the multiplier is 0.1.

Gary's salary (y) is then computed as

... y = 0.1x +1500

<em>Comment on percentages</em>

The % symbol is a shorthand way to write /100. That is, 10% = 10/100, ten hundredths, or 0.10. (You might notice here that "percent" and "hundredths" can be used interchangeably.)

Two cruise ships leave the same port with a 35° angle between their path. Cruise A is traveling at 18 miles per hour and Cruise

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

$20\:\mathrm{miles}$

Step-by-step explanation:

After travelling two hours, the two cruise ships form a triangle. One of the legs of this triangle will be the distance Cruise A travelled, and another will be the distance Cruise B travelled. We can find the distance they travel using:

$s=\frac{d}{t}, d=s\cdot t$

Cruise A is travelling at 18 miles per hour for 2 hours. Therefore, Cruise A has travelled:

$d=s\cdot t=18\cdot 2=36\:\mathrm{miles}$

Cruise B is travelling at 15 miles per hour for 2 hours. Therefore, Cruise B has travelled:

$d=s\cdot t=15\cdot 2=30\:\mathrm{miles}$

Because we are given the angle between these legs, we can use the Law of Cosines to find the third leg. The Law of Cosines is given by:

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C$ , where $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are interchangeable. Let $c$ represent the distance between the two cruises. We have:

$c^2=36^2+30^2-2\cdot36\cdot30\cdot \cos 35^{\circ},\\c^2=426.63,\\c\approx \fbox{$20\:\mathrm{miles}$}$ (one significant figure).

At a party the host orders 12 pizzas that are cut into 8 slices each. There are 30 people at the party. How many slices does eac

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

3 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 12 pizzas are being cut into 8 slices each, that would be 12×8, which is 96. And if you're distributing those 96 slices evenly to 30 people, each person would get 3.2 slices. The mixed number version for 3.2 is 3 2/10, and if you simplify that, the answer would be 3 1/5 slices.
