Alden paid to have some programs printed for the football game last weekend. The printing cost per program was 54 cents, and the

plan was to sell them for 75 cents each. Poor weather kept many fans away from the game, however, so unlucky Alden was left with 100 unsold copies, and lost $12 on the venture. How many programs did Alden have printed?

Answer:

300 programs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s work with cents to make this easier. We convert the $12 to cents, making 1200 cents

Let the number of copies Alden printed be x. His total printing cost would be x * 54 = 54x cents.

He sold at 75 cents each and still had left 100 copies. This means his total sale would be (x - 100)75

He lost $12 on the venture. This means his cost price minus his selling price is $12 since it’s a loss.

Computing this:

54x - 75(x - 100) = 1200

54x - 75x + 7500 = 1200

-21x = 1200 - 7500

-21x = -6,300

x = 6300/21 = 300 programs

Write the vector u as a sum of two orthogonal vectors, one of which is the vector projection of u onto v, proj,u
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Take b = \frac{-17}{25}(7,1) as the projection of u onto v and w \frac{1}{25}(-31,217) as the vector such that b+w =u

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of projection  of a vector u onto a vector v is given by

\frac{u\cdot v}{v\cdot v}v, where cdot is the dot product between vectors.

First, let b ve the projection of u onto v. Then

b = \frac{u\cdot v}{v\cdot v}v= \frac{-6\cdot 7+8\cdot 1}{7\cdot 7+1\cdot 1}(7,1) = \frac{-34}{50}(7,1) = \frac{-17}{25}(7,1)

We want a vector w, that is orthogonal to b and that b+w = u. From this equation we have that w = u-b = (-6,8)-\frac{-17}{25}(7,1)= \frac{1}{25}(-31,217)[/tex]

By construction, we have that w+b=u. We need to check that they are orthogonal. To do so, the dot product between w and b must be zero. Recall that if we have vectors a,b  that are orthogonal then for every non-zero escalar r,k the vector ra and kb are also orthogonal. Then, we can check if w and b are orthogonal by checking if the vectors (7,1) and (-31, 217) are orthogonal.

We have that (7,1)\cdot(-31,217) = 7\cdot -31 + 217 \cdot 1 = -217+217 =0. Then this vectors are orthogonal, and thus, w and b are orthogonal.

The weather forecast says that the probability of being cloudy tomorrow is 30% and the probability of raining is 25%. If it is c
Bumek [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large\boxed{C).\,13.5\%}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're trying to find the probability of it being cloudy and raining.

In this case, we know that:

  • Probability of it being cloudy is 30%
  • Probability of it raining is 25% (this is necessarily not needed)
  • If it's cloud, the probability of it raining is 45%

With the information above, we can find the probability.

We know that from a 100% scale, the chance of it being cloudy is 30%.

We know that if it's cloudy, the chances of raining is 45%

To find the probability of it being cloudy and raining, we would multiply 0.3 (30%) by 0.45 (45%)

Solve:

0.3*0.45=0.135\\\\\text{Move the decimal place two times to the right}\\\text{to turn it into a percent}\\\\\boxed{13.5\%}

Your answer would be C). 13.5%

Please I need help!!
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 4 gallons is 1 gallons, which means that 75% of the hand sanitizer is not alcohol, and is 3 gallons. since that is the amount of not alcohol, and we want it to be 50% solution, it has to be 3 gallons of alcohol in total, and 3-1=2.
