I can buy 75 latex balloons and 50 mylar balloons.

This is a problem from an algebraic equation. We can solve this problem by following a few steps.

We need 125 balloons. Let's assume we have to purchase x latex balloons.

So, mylar balloons are ( 125 - x ).

Our total budget is $32.50.

The cost of x latex balloons is ($.10 × x) = $.10x , as the latex balloons cost $.10 each.

The cost of ( 125- x)  mylar balloons is $[( 125- x) × 0.50] , as the mylar balloons cost $.50 each.

So the total cost is,

$[( 125- x) × 0.50] + $.10x  = 32.50

Now, we have to solve this equation, Let's simplify it.

62.50 - 0.50x + .10x = 32.50

Or, 62.50 - 0.40x = 32.50

Or, -0.40x =  32.50 - 62.50       [ deduce 62.50 from both side ]

Or, -0.40x =  -30                 [ we should devide both sides 0.40 ]

Or, x = 30/0.40 = 75

So, the number of latex balloons is 75. Therefore, the number of remaining mylar balloons is ( 125 - 75) = 50

Write the equation of the ellipse with its center at the origin. The height of the ellipse is 8 units and the width is 4 units.
RoseWind [281]
The standard equation of an ellipse is:

(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

Since the center at the origin, then h = k = 0

The height of this ellipse = 8 units and the width = 4 units, that means the major axis is b (=8) and the minor axis is a (=4)

Then the equation becomes:

x²/16 + y²/64 = 1

Jeremy has two 7 foot long boards. He needs to cut pieces that are 15 inches long from the boards. What is the greatest number o
Amiraneli [1.4K]


the answer would be 33. so the first thing you want to do is turn 7 feet into inches. if 12 inches is equal to 1 foot then 7 feet are equal to 84 inches. then add another 84  inches which will equal 168. the you would want to divide 168/15 which gives you 33.6. this mean that 33 (separate numbers) 15 inches of board from two boards.

hope I was able to help and that my explanation made sense. : )

Assume the given distributions are normal. Cucumbers grown on a certain farm have weights with a standard deviation of 2 ounces.
forsale [732]

Answer:

13.92

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the critical z-score associated with 85% to the left is 1.04, we know that by table.

So we have to:

m + z * (sd) = 16

where m is the mean, z is the critical z-scor and sd is the standard deviation, if we replace we are left with:

m + 1.04 * (2) = 16

m = 16 - 1.04 * (2)

m = 13.92

Therefore, the average weight if 85% of cucumbers weigh less than 16 ounces is 13.92
