120 people. 50% is 60 people. 20% is 24 people, the rest is 36.
Let L=large donation, M=medium. We also have L=4M. The donation equation is then:
60L+36M+24=4440
60L+36M=4416 substitute L=4M
276M=4416
M=4416/276=16
So the answer is $16
Answer:
if you divide both sides of -5x > 0 you get z > <em>0. </em>This is incorrect because if you choose a value from the possible solutions such as z=6 and substitute it into the original equation you get <em>-30</em> > 0, which is <em>not true</em>
I put the answers in bold

Answer: The scale factor is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the pyramids are similar. The volume of one of these pyramids is 13,824 cubic feet and the volume of the other one is 216 cubic feet. Then:
By Similar solids theorem, if two similar solids have a scale factor of 
, then corresponding volumes have a ratio of 
Then:
Knowing this, we can find the scale factor. This is:
![\frac{13,824}{216}=\frac{a^3}{b^3}\\\\\frac{13,824}{216}=(\frac{a}{b})^3\\\\\frac{a}{b}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{13,824}{216}}\\\\scale\ factor=\frac{a}{b}=4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B13%2C824%7D%7B216%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Ba%5E3%7D%7Bb%5E3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B13%2C824%7D%7B216%7D%3D%28%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%29%5E3%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B13%2C824%7D%7B216%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cscale%5C%20factor%3D%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%3D4)
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
The trick is to pick something that should be very easy to get an answer to. If you use a calculator, you are not estimating. 80 divide by 4 is like 8 divide by 4 which gives you 2. Then just add a zero. Here's another one you can try. Put your calculator away to do it. 12 chicken noodle soup cans cost 14 dollars. About how much does 1 can cost
no cheating. No calculator. Is the cost of 1 can more or less than a dollar? If you said more, you've estimated correctly.
Try it the other way. Suppose one can of the soup costs 0.95 cents. How many will 12 cans cost? More or less than 12 dollars.
If you said less, you are estimating correctly. The most useful gift you can take away from any math class is estimation.
