#5 Antonio and Abby had the same nimber of paperclips. After Antonio gave 30 paperclips to Abby, Abby had twice as many papercli

Kay [80]

Answer:

#5: 180 paperclips in total.

#6: 126 stamps in total.

#7: Elena should give Lucy 15 colored pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation solves each question by setting a single unknown, $x$ .

Let $x$ the initial number of paperclips of Antonio. That should also be the number of Abby's paperclips.

Initially:

Antonio: $x$ paperclips;
Abby: $x$ paperclips.

Antonio gives $30$ paperclips to Abby. After that,

Antonio: $(x - 30)$ paperclips;
Abby: $x + 30$ paperclips.

Abby now possess twice as many paperclips as Antonio does. In other words,

$2(x - 30) = x + 30$ .

By the distributive property:

$2x - 60 = x + 30$ .

Substract $x - 60$ from both sides

$x = 30 - (-60) = 90$ .

Both Antonio and Abby initially possess 90 paperclips. That's 180 in total.

Similarly, let $x$ be the number of Emily's stamps. That should be the same as the number of Jasmine's stamps.

Initially:

Emily: $x$ stamps;
Jasmine: $x$ stamps.

After Emily gives $42$ stamps to Jasmine:

Emily: $x-42$ stamps;
Jasmine: $x+42$ stamps.

Jasmine now possesses twice as many stamps as Emily does. In other words,

$2(x-42) = x+42$ .

$x = 42 + 2\times 42 = 126$ .

Jasmine used to possess 126 stamps. Now she possesses $126 + 42 = 168$ stamps after receiving $42$ stamps from Emily.

Let the number of pencils that Elena needs to give to Lucy be $x$ .

Initially:

Elena: 60 pencils;
Lucy: 26 pencils.

After Elena gives $x$ pencils to Lucy:

Elena: $60 - x$ pencils;
Lucy: $26 + x$ pencils.

Elena should now possess four more pencils than Lucy does. In other words,

$\underbrace{60 - x}_{\text{Elena's}} = \underbrace{(26 + x)}_{\text{Lucy's}} +4$ .

$2x = 30$ .

$x = 15$ .

Farmers often sell fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets during the summer. Each tomato stand at the Bentonville farmers’ ma

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

the probability that all tomatoes are sold is 0.919 (91.9%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the random variable X= number of tomatoes that are demanded, is normally distributed we can make the standard random variable Z such that:

Z=(X-μ)/σ = (83 - 125)/30 = -1.4

where μ= expected value of X= mean of X (since X is normally distributed) , σ=standard deviation of X

then all tomatoes are sold if the demand surpasses 83 tomatos , therefore

P(X>83) = P(Z>-1.4) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)

from tables of standard normal distribution →P(Z≤-1.4)=0.081 , therefore

P(X>83) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4) = 1 - 0.081 = 0.919 (91.9%)

thus the probability that all tomatoes are sold is 0.919 (91.9%)
