So increased weight = 92-80 = 12

so ℅ = 12×100/80 = 15

so his weight is increased by 15℅ !!

Julian walked 6/10 of a mile to his friends house and another 35/100 mile to the store. He walked 1/4 of a mile back home. Julia

AveGali [126]

The statement, "Julian's sister said he walked 1/5 mile" cannot be agreed because Julian totally walked $1\frac{1}{5} \text{ or } \frac{6}{5}$ miles.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that,

Julian walked 6/10 of a mile to his friends house
Another 35/100 mile to the store
He walked 1/4 of a mile back home

To find total distance walked by Julian we have to add the above stated values. That is, $\frac{6}{10} +\frac{35}{100} +\frac{1}{4}$

Factors of 10 = $5\times2$

Factors of 100 = $5\times2\times5\times2$

Factors of 4 = $2\times2$

Therefore, the least common factor of 10, 100 and 4 is 100. With like denominators we can operate on just the numerators,

$\frac{6\times10}{10\times10} +\frac{35\times1}{100\times1} +\frac{1\times25}{4\times1}\rightarrow\frac{60+35+25}{100}\rightarrow\frac{120}{100}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{120}{100}\rightarrow\frac{6}{5}$

Which can also be written as $1\frac{1}{5}$ .

So, from the above calculation it can be said that Julian walked $1\frac{1}{5} \text{ miles }$ .

A vehicle factory manufactures cars. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each car) depends on the number of cars made. If

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The function is missing in the question. The function is $C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

The answer is 4930

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit cost of a car is given as

$C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

Cost will be minimum when

x = -(-544)/ 2 x 0.8

= 340

Therefore, minimum cost for unit car is

$C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

$= 0.8(340)^2 -544(340) +97410$

= 4930
