Apples lose 71% of their weight while drying. How many fresh apples to you need to pick in order to get 128 lb of dried apples?

1 answer:

6 0

100-71=29

71% lost means 29% remains

you want that 29% to weigh 128lb

so 29% of original=128lb

remember, percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100 so 29%=29/100
also, 'of' means multiply

29% of original=128
29/100 times original=128
multiply both sides by 100/29
original=12800/29
original=441.37931034482758620689655172414
so about 441lb of apples must be picked

Answer:

ACV=$4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the actual cash value (ACV) is defined as:

$ACV=\dfrac{R\times(E-C)}{E}$

Where:

$ACV =$ actual cash value

$R =$ replacement cost or purchase price of the item

$E =$ expected life of the item

$C =$ current life of the item

Then we have R=$6,000, C=5years, and to find the expected life of the item we can use the depreciating of the roof, then if the roof is depreciating $200 each year we just need to divide $4,000 by $200 to find the expected life of the roof:

$\dfrac{4,000}{200}=20$

Then the espected life of the roof is 20 years, with this result we have all the data, then:

$ACV=\dfrac{\$6,000\times (20-5)}{20}=\dfrac{\$6,000\times (15)}{20}=\dfrac{\$90,000}{20}=\$4,500$

Then the ACV is $4,500

Answer:

А. 13.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures are the number of digit from a number that have meanings. The higher the significant figures of a number, the higher its accuracy will be. The only non-zero number will be count as significant figures unless the zero is between two non-zero numbers like 13.07, the zero placed between 3 and 7. Some number also doesn't count as significant figures like the leading zero.

All other option just shows 3 significant numbers, so the answer is 13.07
