Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D. 30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

increase = 50%

final weighed = 45 pounds

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem. 45 pounds will be 150% (the initial 100% plus an increase of 50%).

                       45 pounds ------------------ 150%

                          x  pounds -----------------  100%

                          x = (100 x 45)/150

                          x = 4500/150

Result

                         x = 30 pounds

The angles of a triangle are 99??, 3x??, and x + 5??.
Anit [1.1K]
Since we know a triangle only has 180 degrees we can say:

99+3x+x+5=180

Then we can solve for x:

4x+104=180
4x=76

x=19

At Thanksgiving, Mrs. Jones overcooked the turkey so all but 5 of it had to be thrown away. The 8 people at dinner that
VashaNatasha [74]

<em>The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.</em>

Answer:

<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
