3x - 15

Simply add the different container sizes together. The first container holds x - 10 liters, the second holds x - 5 liters, and the third holds x liters.

(x - 10) + (x - 5) + x

Because of the associative property of Addition, we can remove the parentheses.

x - 10 + x - 5 + x

Because of the communicative property of addition, we can reorder the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.

x + x + x - 10 - 5

Now, combine the x’s.

3x - 10 - 5

Finally, subtract -10 minus - 5.

3x - 15

Calculate Income Elasticity of Demand Question Suppose that when the price of cream cheese rises by 10%, the quantity of bagels

inn [45]

Answer:

eY is positive +0.1 therefore bagels are a normal good.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

when, 10% rise in cheese price, 3% fall in bagels quantity observed

when, 10% rise in income, 1% fall in bagels quantity observed

from formula for cross price elasticity of demand, determine $e_{AB}$

$e_{AB} = \frac{(−3\%}{(10\%)} = −0.3.$

As, eAB is negative, bagels $ cream cheese are complements.

By formula for income elasticity of demand,

we find that $eY= \frac{(+1\%)}{(10\%)} = +0.1.$

Since eYis positive, bagels are a normal good.

Iliana was part of a group that was working on changing 0.4 repeated to a fraction. Each member of the group had a different ans

amm1812

$\bf 0.444444444\overline{4}\impliedby \textit{and keeps on going}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's say }\boxed{x=0.444444444\overline{4}}\quad \textit{ thus }10\cdot x=4.44444444\overline{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a minute! }4.44444444\overline{4}\textit{ is really just }4+0.444444444\overline{4}$

$\bf \textit{but we know }x=0.444444444\overline{4} \textit{ so then }4+0.444444444\overline{4}=\boxed{4+x}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a second! }10\cdot x\implies 10x=4.444444444\overline{4}=4+x
\\\\\\
thus\qquad 10x=4+x\implies 10x-x=4\implies 9x=4\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{4}{9}}$

you can check in your calculator.

anyhow, to get the "recurring decimal to fraction", you start by setting to some variable, "x" in this case, then move the repeating part to the left of the point by multiplying it by some power of 10, and then do the equating.

16 is 4% of what number?

IrinaK [193]

16 is 4% of 400

Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing the decimal over 100:
$\frac{4}{100} = 0.04$

Divide 16 by the decimal (0.04):
$16 \div 0.04 = 400$
