Jack bought four dozen eggs at $10 per dozen six eggs were broken what percent of his money goes to waste?

One dozen eggs is 48 eggs. Altogether that costs 40 dollars. If six of the eggs were broken then the money wasted would be 5 dollars.

The reason that it is 5 dollars is becuase it takes 10 to buy 12 eggs, and half of that is 6. So divide both 12 and 10 (separately) and you get 5 dollars for 6 eggs.

To get the percent you must divide 5 by 40.

The answer comes out to about 12.5% or 0.125.

So in the end, 12.5% of the money was wasted due to the broken eggs.

Hope this helped!

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object. This method is demonstrated using the same battery used above.

How do I solve: m-77 = 222
Alona [7]

Answer:

m = 299

Step-by-step explanation:

When isolating variables, you must do the same thing to both sides of the equation. To isolate "m", you must add 77 to both sides.

m - 77 = 222                          <----- Original equation
   +77     +77                          <----- Add 77 to both sides

m + 0 = 299                           <----- Resulting equation

m = 299                                 <----- Rewrite

Answer: a) margin of error = 61.25, b) sample size when margin of error is 45 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulae to get the margin of error of a confidence interval is given as

Margin of error = critical value * (σ/√n)

Where σ = population standard deviation = 125

n = sample size = 16

Critical value =Zα/2 = 1.96 ( this is so because we are performing a 95% confidence level test then level of significance (α) will be 5% and since our test is of two values, it will be 2 tailed).

Margin of error = 1.96 * (125/√16)

Margin of error = 1.96 * 125/4

Margin of error = 1.96 * 31.25

Margin of error = 61.25

Question b)

Margin of error = 45

Critical value =Zα/2 = 1.96

Population standard deviation = σ = 125

Sample size =n =??

By recalling the formulae

Margin of error = critical value * (σ/√n)

45 = 1.96 * (125/√n)

45 = (1.96 * 125)/√n

45 = 245/√n

45 * √n = 245

√n = 245/ 45

√n = 5.444

n = (5.444)²

n= 29.64 which is approximately 30.

A 10.0kg rock is dropped and hits the ground below at a speed of 60 m/s . Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the ro
disa [49]

Answer:

Solution:

Mass of body, m= 10kg

velocity, v= 60m/s

Now,kinetic energy on earth= potential energy at a that point [energy conservation]

so, kinetic energy= 1/2*m* v^2

= 1/2* 60(60)^2

= 30* 60*60

= 108000 joules
