First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
If we add 8 oz of glycol to the 40 oz mixture we have 48 oz of mixture and 4+8 = 12 oz glycol
12 / 48 = 1/4 = 25 % glycol
the answer is 8 oz
Answer:
perimeter = 28.13 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the length of a line drawn from A to C.
sin 85 = b/8, b = 7.97
cos 85 = c/8, c = 0.697
AC² =7.97² + (6 + 0.697)² = 63.52 + 44.85 = 108.37
AC = 10.41
Now you have a right triangle ADC with a known hypotenuse and one leg.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
DC² = 10.41² - 5²
DC² = 108.37 - 25 = 83.37
DC = 9.13 cm
perimeter = 5 + 6 + 8 + 9.13 = 28.13 cm
He will need 2 pencils to fill 20 desks. Here's how I found the answer:
20÷10=2
2×10=20. So the answer is 2.
X + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 330
4x + 6 = 330
4x = 324, x = 81
Smallest number: 81
Biggest number: 81 + 3 = 84
Sum: 81 + 84 = 165
The answer is 165
