Answer:

Juan has to work at least 21 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan earns $3 a day, then he earns $21 per week.

Let x be the number of weeks Juan works. He will earn $21x in x weeks.

Juan has saved $213,

He earns $21x,

Juan's total earnings are $213+$21x.

He needs to save at least $654, so

$213+21x\ge 654\\ \\21x\ge 654-213\\ \\21x\ge 441\\ \\x\ge 21$

Juan has to work at least 21 weeks.

A yogurt costs 35 pence. How many yogurts can be bought with 3 pounds?

julsineya [31]

1 pound = 100 pence
3 pounds = 300 pence

35 pence = 0.35 pounds

So 300/35 = 8 yogurts (with left 35*8 = 280
300-280 = 20 pence)

Determine the number of possible solutions for a triangle with B=37 degrees, a=32, b=27

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Two possible solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{Sin(B)}=\frac{c}{Sin(C)}$

we have

$a=32\ units$

$b=27\ units$

$B=37\°$

step 1

Find the measure of angle A

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{Sin(B)}$

substitute the values

$\frac{32}{sin(A)}=\frac{27}{Sin(37\°)}$

$sin(A)=(32)Sin(37\°)/27=0.71326$

$A=arcsin(0.71326)=45.5\°$

The measure of angle A could have two measures

the first measure-------> $A=45.5\°$

the second measure -----> $A=180\°-45.5\°=134.5\°$

step 2

Find the first measure of angle C

Remember that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to $180\°$

$A+B+C=180\°$

substitute the values

$A=45.5\°$

$B=37\°$

$45.5\°+37\°+C=180\°$

$C=180\°-(45.5\°+37\°)=97.5\°$

step 3

Find the first length of side c

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{c}{Sin(C)}$

substitute the values

$\frac{32}{sin(37\°)}=\frac{c}{Sin(97.5\°)}$

$c=Sin(97.5\°)\frac{32}{sin(37\°)}=52.7\ units$

therefore

the measures for the first solution of the triangle are

$A=45.5\°$ , $a=32\ units$

$B=37\°$ , $b=27\ units$

$C=97.5\°$ , $b=52.7\ units$

step 4

Find the second measure of angle C with the second measure of angle A

Remember that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to $180\°$

$A+B+C=180\°$

substitute the values

$A=134.5\°$

$B=37\°$

$134.5\°+37\°+C=180\°$

$C=180\°-(134.5\°+37\°)=8.5\°$

step 5

Find the second length of side c

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{c}{Sin(C)}$

substitute the values

$\frac{32}{sin(37\°)}=\frac{c}{Sin(8.5\°)}$

$c=Sin(8.5\°)\frac{32}{sin(37\°)}=7.9\ units$

therefore

the measures for the second solution of the triangle are

$A=45.5\°$ , $a=32\ units$

$B=37\°$ , $b=27\ units$

$C=8.5\°$ , $b=7.9\ units$

Laura estimated the total cost of attending a private four-year university using the information in the table. Category Estimate

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

$124,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The scholarship pays for 30% of her tuition. This leaves her responsible for 100-30 = 70% of it. 70% = 70/100 = 0.7; this makes her part of the yearly tuition

0.7(29500) = 20650

She is still responsible for her $9600 room and board per year. Her books are paid for by the scholarship; however she still has the lab and facility fees at $850 per year.

Altogether this gives her a total of

20650+9600+850 = 31100 per year. Over the course of 4 years, this will cost her

31100(4) = 124400

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

there would be 40 gold notebooks

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio is 5g to 3r i took the 24 red and divided it by 3 which gave me 8. I then multiplied 8 by 5 and got 40. so 40:24 is equal to 5:3
