Answer:

B. The manager estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 150 picks and sold about 200 picks, so they should have about 50 fewer than they started with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

Previous guitar In-stock before ordering and selling(P) = 500 picks. -----(equation 1)

Now, ordered guitar is 15 boxes of 9 picks each.

Ordered guitar=15 \times 9

Hence, Ordered guitar(O)=135 picks ------------(equation 2)

Now, selled guitar is 19 boxes of 10 picks each.

So, Selled guitar = 19\times 10

Hence, Selled guitar(S) =190 picks   ------------(equation 3)

Now to calculate current in-stock of guitar we can write as,

Current guitar in-stock(C) =  Previous in-stock(P) + Ordered guitar(O) - Selled guitar(S)

C=P+O-S

C=500+135-190

C=635-190

C=445

\therefore Current guitar in-stock(C) = 445 picks ------(equation 4)

So, difference in-stock (D) = Previous guitar in-stock(P)- Current guitar in stock(C)

D=P-C

D=500-445

D=55

Therefore Difference in Previous and current stock of guitar(D) = 55 = 50 pick approx.

Hence, the manager estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 150 picks and sold about 200 picks, so they should have about 50 fewer than they started with.

solmaris [256]
Surface area of cylinder is given by area of circle + area of the rectangle that curved around the cylinder

Area of the base of the cylinder = \pi r^{2} = 8^{2} \pi =64 \pi
Area of the cylinder 'wall' = width × length = 12×2r \pi=12×16 \pi=192 \pi

Note that the wall of the cylinder is in the shape of a rectangle. The width of the rectangle is the height of the cylinder. The length of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle base.

Surface area of cone is given by \pirl where l is the slanted height of the cone

SA of cone = \pi (8)(10)=80 \pi

Hence total painted surface area is 80 \pi +192 \pi +64 \pi =336 \pi

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

58.25

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the total cost of the meal, fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.

First, find the cost of the meal, which is forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents.

To calculate the amount of the sales tax, use the proportion, amount of sales tax divided by cost of meal equals sales tax rate divided by one hundred.

Substitute the known values. Amount of sales tax divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals four point five divided by one hundred.

Cross multiply. One hundred times amount of the sales tax equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times four point five.

Divide both sides by one hundred to find that the sales tax equals two dollars and nineteen cents.

Then, to calculate the amount of the tip, use the proportion, amount of tip divided by cost of meal equals tip percent rate divided by one hundred.

Again, substitute the known values into the proportion, amount of tip divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals fifteen divided by one hundred.

Then, cross multiply. One hundred times amount of tip equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times fifteen.

And, divide both sides by one hundred to find that the tip equals seven dollars and thirty-one cents.

Finally, add the amounts together to find the total cost of the meal was fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.
