Answer:

Both statements are sufficient to answer the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The paint mixture has following proportions:

 Total volume of paint = T

 Blue:  x*T / 100

 Green: y*T/100

 Red: z*T/100

Find:

Statement 1: x = y

Statement: z = 60

Which of the above statement is sufficient to calculate the amount of green paint used

Solution:

Statement 1:

- The amount of blue paint used is:

                    1 gallon = x*T / 100

- x = y,

                    1 gallon = y*T / 100

Hence,

                    Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon

- The statement is sufficient

Statement 2:

- The amount of red paint used is:

                    3 gallon = z*T / 100

                    T = 300 / z = 300 / 60 = 5 gallons

                    T = R + B + G

                    G = T - R - B

                    G = 5 - 3 - 1

                    G = 1 gallons

Hence,

                    Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon

- The statement is sufficient

Ken wants to buy some coffee mugs, m , that cost $5 each and some ground coffee, C, that costs $8 a pound. He has $25.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The inequality representation of the scenario is :

  • 5m + 8c ≤ 25
  • m = 1 and c = 1

  • Number of mugs = m
  • Cost per mug = $5
  • Number of ground coffee = c
  • Cost per ground coffee = $8
  • Total amount to spend = $25

  • (Number of mug × cost per mug) + (Number of ground coffee × cost of ground coffee) ≤total amount to spend

  • Representing as an inequality : 5m + 8c ≤ 25

Combination of m and c that makes the inequality true :

  • Using trial by error :
  • m = 1 and c = 1
  • 5(1) + 8(1) ≤ 25 ; 13 ≤ 25

Hence, m = 1 and c =1 are valid values for the expression.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

55 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that the <em>book holds 600 cards and 6 cards/page</em>, we can tell that there are <em>100 pages</em>.

From that, we know that 45% are empty, which means <em>55% of all of the pages have cards</em>.

55% of 100 is 55. Therefore, 55 pages have baseball cards.
