The value of the collection originally was $1,000,000

What was the original value of the collection?

The original value of the collection is not known, hence, it is represented by X

The increase in value by $50,000 means that the value is X+$50,000

Now, when the error was discovered, it is now worth half of the value previously

The new value is (X+$50,000)*0.5

New value=(X+$50,000)*0.5

The new value at this point is $525,000

$525,000=(X+$50,000)*0.5

$525,000/0.5=X+$50,000

$1,050,000=X+$50,000

X=$1,050,000-$50,000

A brand new filled jar of salsa is 11 cm tall and a has a radius of 6 cm. Kelly eats some of the salsa and the salsa in the jar

Sonbull [250]

Before we begin please note that a jar is always cylindrical in shape if not mentioned otherwise. Thus, we will take a cylindrical jar in this case.

Since Kelly eats some of the salsa and the salsa in the jar is now 6 cm high, we know that Kelly ate the amount of Salsa whose volume is missing from the jar.

To find the missing volume on the Salsa jar all that we need to do is to find the height of the missing volume which is given to us as h= 6 cm. We already know that the radius of the jar, r=6 cm. Thus, the amount of Salsa Kelly has eaten is:

$V=\pi(6)^2\times 6\approx678.6\approx679$ $cm^3$
