If the Price Elasticity of Demand for a product is -.8, and the product currently sells for $100 per unit, how much will demand

for the product change (expressed as a percentage) if the price is increased to $110 per unit?

Answer: Percentage change in quantity would decrease by 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price elasticity of demand = -0.8

Price of each unit = $100

After change, price of each unit becomes = $110

% change in quantity would be

\dfrac{New-old}{old}\times 100=\dfrac{110-100}{100}\times 100=10\%

As we know the relation between price, quantity and elasticity.

e_D=\dfrac{\text{\% change in quantity}}{\text{\%change in price}}\\\\-0.8=\dfrac{10\%}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{10}{-0.8}\\\\x=-12.5\%

Hence, Percentage change in quantity would decrease by 12.5%.

Explain why figure b is not the image of figure a after a reflection using line l
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure A has a square cut out into it as figure B has a trapezoid cut out into it.

A reflection is mirroring an image, this means that the image must be identical to its reflected image.

Because figure A and B have different shapes cut into it they are not identical and can therefore not be reflections.

Mezclas de alimentos. Un chef repostero creó una solución de azúcar de 50 onzas constituida por 34% de azúcar con una solución d
Kay [80]

Answer:

Las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos estimar la proporción de ingredientes mediante el siguiente promedio ponderado:

0.34= \frac{0.2\cdot m_{A} + 0.4\cdot m_{B}}{m_{A}+m_{B}} (1)

Donde:

m_{A} - Masa de la solución al 20 %, en onzas.

m_{B} - Masa de la solución al 40 %, en onzas.

Podemos simplificar la formula como sigue:

0.2\cdot x + 0.4\cdot (1-x) = 0.34 (2)

Donde x es la proporción de la solución al 20 % dentro de la solución final, sin unidades.

Ahora resolvemos para x en (2):

0.4-0.2\cdot x = 0.34

0.2\cdot x = 0.06

x = \frac{0.06}{0.2}

x = 0.3

Este resultado quiere decir que la solución al 34 % es el resultado de 30 % de la solución al 20 % y 70 % de la solución al 40 %. Si conocemos que la solución final tiene una masa de 50 onzas, entonces las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.

Maggie and Amelia filled up 40 water balloons shaped like spheres. Each water balloon had a radius of 6.5 cm.​
jenyasd209 [6]

The total volume of the 40 sphere shaped water balloons is 46032.38 cubic cm.

Radius of 1 sphere = 6.5 cm

We know that the volume of the sphere is given by 4/3 π r³

We will take the radius as 6.5 cm and π as 22/7

Now we will find the volume : 4/3 ×22/7×6.5³ = 1150.81 cubic cm.

Volume of 40 such spheres = 40 × 1150.81 = 46032.38 cubic cm.

The radius of all the spheres are 46032.38 cubic cm.

A sphere is a geometrical entity with three dimensions that resembles a two-dimensional circle. A sphere is a group of points in three dimensions that are all situated at the same r-distance from one another.

The supplied point is the sphere's center, while the letter r stands for the sphere's radius which is half the diameter. The earliest known allusions to spheres are found in the works of two ancient Greek mathematicians.

Therefore total volume of the 40 sphere shaped water balloons is 46032.38 cubic cm .

Disclaimer: The complete question is : Maggie and Amelia filled up 40 water balloons shaped like spheres. Each water balloon had a radius of 6.5 cm.​Find the total volume of water required.
