Answer:

450 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of the mixture C_m must be the cost of the everyday moisturizing lotion C_e plus the cost of the self-tanning lotion C_s, which means C_m=C_e+C_s.

The cost of any substance will be the cost per ounce of the substance (c), multiplied by the number of ounces (n), which means C=nc, so we have from the previous formula that we have:

n_m c_m=n_e c_e + n_s c_s

But we also know that the number of ounces of the mixture must be the sum of the number of ounces of the everyday moisturizing lotion with the number of ounces of the self-tanning lotion, so we have

n_e c_e + n_s c_s=n_m c_m=(n_e+n_s) c_m=n_e c_m+n_s c_m

We want to calculate the number of ounces of the​ self-tanning lotion (n_s), so we solve for that variable:

n_e c_e + n_s c_s=n_e c_m+n_s c_m

n_s c_s-n_s c_m=n_e c_m-n_e c_e

n_s (c_s-c_m)=n_e(c_m-c_e)

n_s=\frac{n_e (c_m-c_e)}{(c_s-c_m)}

And substitute our values in this formula, to get:

n_s=\frac{(700\ ounces) (\$1.6-\$0.7)}{(\$3-\$1.6)}=450\ ounces

trevon spent 8 hours and 15 minutes at an amusement park yesterday he spent 75% of the time at the park about how much time did
Lostsunrise [7]
Convert 8 hours and 15 minutes into minutes-   8 x 60=480 480+15=495
100%-75%=25%
25%=0.25
0.25 x 495  = 123.75 minutes or 2 hour and 3.75 minutes

Hope this helps!!

The answer is f(x)=x²+2x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3

Let's check all functions.
1. The function f(x)=x²<span>+2x when evaluated with 3 gives you the value of 3:
  Evaluated with x means that</span> x = 3.
   f(3) = 3² + 2 * 3 = 9 + 6 = 15 
   15 ≠ 3, so, this is not correct.

2. f(x)=x²<span>-3x when evaulated with -3 give you the value of 3
    Evaluated with -3 means that x = -3.
    (f-3) = (-3)</span>² - 3 * (-3) = 9 + 9 = 18 
    18 ≠ 3, so, this is not correct.

3. f(x)=x²<span>+2x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3
</span>    Evaluated with -3 means that x = -3.
    f(-3) = (-3)² + 2 * (-3) = 9 - 6 = 3
    3 = 3, so this is correct.

4. f(x)=x²-3x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3
    Evaluated with 3 means that x = 3.
    f(3) = (3)² - 3 * 3 = 9 - 9 = 0
    0 ≠ 3, so this is not correct.
