Answer:

a) 25% are bad

b) 75% are good

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 300 oranges total and that 75 are bad. That means that the rest are good (implied).

300 - 75 = 225 good oranges.

So to find the percentage we have to take the selected amount divided by the total amount.

Bad Apples: Good Apples:

75 / 300 = 0.25 225/300 = 0.75

However, that's a decimal or <em>a number out of 1, </em>we need a percent or <em>a number out of 100.</em> So we have to multiply both numbers by 100.

Bad Apples = 25%

Good Apples = 75%

When you are multiplying an exponent directly into a number/variable with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.

For example:

$(x^{2} )^{3} = x^6$

$(x^{3} )^5=x^{15}$

When you are multiplying a variable with an exponent by another variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together.

For example:

$(x^{2} )(x^{3})=x^{5}$

$(x^{1} )(x^{2})=x^{3}$

$(\frac{(x^{-3})(y^{2})}{(x^{4})(y^{6})} )^{3}=\frac{(x^{-9})(y^{6})}{(x^{12})(y^{18})}$

You multiply 3 into each exponent in the numerator and the denominator

$\frac{(x^{-9})(y^{6})}{(x^{12})(y^{18})}= \frac{y^{6}}{(x^{9})(x^{12})(y^{18})}$

When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

$\frac{y^{6}}{(x^{21})(y^{18})} = \frac{1}{(x^{21})(y^{12})}$

When you have something like this:

$\frac{x^{2}}{x^5}$

You subtract the exponents together, so:

$\frac{x^2}{x^5} = x^{2-5} = x^{-3} = \frac{1}{x^3}$

Your answer is the second option

For each trip, a taxi company charges a fixed fee of $2.00 plus $0.75 for each 1/2 mile or fraction of 1/2 miles. If, for every

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

E: 2.00 + 0.75 [ 2r]

Step-by-step explanation:

r represents the number of miles. For each 1/2 mile the taxi will charge and extra free of $0.75. Then, for each mile, the taxi will charge $0.75*2. For example:

For a trip of 1 mile the taxi will charge:

$2.00+$0.75*2

For a trip of 2 miles, the taxi will charge:

$2.00+0.75*4

For a trip of 10 miles, the taxi will charge:

$2.00+$0.75*20

Notice that the variable fee (the one that depends on the number of miles) is $0.75 times the double of miles. In each case the number of miles is multiplied by two. Then the correct answer is E: 2.00 + 0.75 [ 2r]

Solve the equation 0.4+0.5=-4.7-0.6z

Charra [1.4K]

0.9 = -4.7 - 0.6z
0.9 + 4.7 = -0.6z
5.6 = -0.6z
z = 5.6 ÷ -0.6
z = -9.33
