Answer:

  • <u>96</u>

Explanation:

The proportions of dimes and nickels in the withdrawls recorded by the student are:

  • dimes:   12/25
  • nickels: 13/25

Thus, the best prediction of the total number of dimes in the bag is found using the same ratio of dimes:

  • dimes in the bag = (12/25) × 200 = 96 ← answer

Work backwards to solve
leva [86]

Answer: $14.93

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets remove the shipping price: 51.65 - 3.50 = 48.15

Next, lets find the sales tax of the shirts: 48.15 x 0.07 = 3.37

Then, subtract that from the shirt price: 48.15 - 3.37 = 44.78

Finally, divide 44.78 by 3: 44.78 / 3 = 14.93!

Estimate 58% of 112 using benchmark percents. Explain your answer.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

64.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common benchmark percents are 0\% , 10\% , 25\% , 50\% , 75\% and 100\%

We are given 58\% which is closest to 50\%.

Now we calculate 50\% \ of \ 112 which is equal to 56.

We are left with 8\% more to add.

We can say 1\% \ of \ 112 \ is\ 1.12

Therefore 8\% \ of \ 112 \ would \ be \ 1.12\times8=8.96

Now add the two.

56+8.96= 64.96

Thus 64.96 is the answer.

How many solutions does this equation have?
Leto [7]

Answer:

The given equation having only one solution i.e., "w = 3". A further explanation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

⇒ 9(w-9)-2=-7w+7(w-8)

By opening the brackets, we get

⇒ 9w-81-2=-7w+7w-56

⇒ 9w-83=-56

On adding "83" both sides, we get

⇒ 9w-83+83=-56+83

⇒                 9w=27

⇒                   w=\frac{27}{9}

⇒                       =3

Find the 55th term in the following<br> arithmetic sequence :<br> -102, -98, -94, -90, ...
Harman [31]

Answer: It’s...

Step-by-step explanation: All of these numbers are going backwards by -4. Just keep subtracting. But then again, it will take you ages. So... try multiplying 51 by -4. Then -86 - whatever total you got. I have no clue if this will help. Is this even an assignment for you or a trick question?
