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

Linda owns 4 shares of a certain stock. Yesterday the total value of her shares went down by 32 dollars. What was the change in
Annette [7]

Answer:

The value of each share decreased by $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of shares of a certain stock Linda owned = 4

Total value of shares went down by = $32

So find the change in value of each share.

Solution:

Let the total value of each share in dollars be = x

Value of 4 shares in dollars will be = 4x

The total value of shares went down by $32

So, new value of 4 shares = 4x-32

New value of each share = \frac{New\ value\ of\ total\ shares}{4}

⇒ \frac{4x-32}{4}

Splitting the denominators.

⇒ \frac{4x{{4}-\frac{32}}{4}

⇒ x-8

Original value of each share in dollars was = x

New value of each share in dollars = x-8

Thus, we can see that the value of each share decreased by $8.

The ages of five friends are 25, 36, 33, 36 and 30 how many of friends are older than the average (arithmetic mean) age?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

3 friends are older than the average.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the mean. The mean can be found adding all the numbers in the set together and dividing by the amount of numbers in the giving set:

(25 + 36 + 33 + 36 + 30)/5 = (160)/5 = 32

The average age is 32. There are 3 friends that are older than the average (33 , 36 , 36, respectfully).
