Answer:
100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p = percent of cashews in first mix
2p = lb. of cashews in first mix
30(.20) = 6 = lb. of cashews in second mix
32(.25) = 8 = lb. of cashews in the combined mix
So,
lb. of cashews in first mix + lb. of cashews in second mix = lb. of cashews in the combined mix
2p + 6 = 8
2p = 2
p = 1 = 100%
<h2>HOW TO: SOLVE AN APPLICATION</h2>
Step 1. Identify what you are asked to find and choose a variable to represent it.
Step 2. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it.
Step 3. Translate the sentence into an equation.
Step 4. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.
Step 5. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.
Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question.
Remember that whatever the application, once we write the sentence with the given information (Step 2), we can translate it to a percent equation and then solve it.
Do you pay a tax when you shop in your city or state? In many parts of the United States, sales tax is added to the purchase price of an item. See Figure 6.7. The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price.
To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
We have the next information
x= the shortest side measure
y= the second side measure
y=x+100
z= the third side measures
z=x+700
We know also that the perimeter is 2900 ft
Therefore the equation for the perimeter of the triangle will be
we sum like terms
then we isolate the x
therefore
x=700ft
y=700+100=800ft
z=700+700=1400ft
The lengths of the sides of the lote are 700 ,800, and 1400 ft,
Answer:
8/45
Step-by-step explanation:
Write 4 5/8 as an improper fraction: 45/8.
Then invert this result, obtaining:
. This is the "reciprocal" of 4 5/8.
Jacob has the faster time because if you make the fractions equal you would make the denominators equal by rounding 3/4 to have a denominator of 12 making it 9/12 which is larger then 5/12 making Daniel's time slower then Jacob's.
