hannah and mallory are selling boxes of cookies for a school fundraiser. each box costs the same amount. hannah sells 14 boxes.
aleksley [76]

The cost per box of cookies is $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised from the sales of cookies is $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised from the sales of cookies and donations is $88.50

In order to determine the cost per box of cookies, take the following steps:

The first step is to determine the total sum of the boxes sold by Hannah and Mallory

Sum of the boxes sold = 14 + 22 = 36 boxes

36 boxes were sold by Hannah and Mallory

The second step is to determine the total cost of the 36 boxes sold.

Total cost of 36 boxes = total amount raised - donation

$141 - $6 = $135

The third step is to determine the total cost of each box

cost of one box = total cost of 36 boxes / total number of boxes

135 / 36 = $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

14 x $3.75 = $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised = amount raised from the sale of cookies + donation

amount raised from sales = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

22 x $3.75 = $82.50

Total amount = $82.50 + $6 = $88.50

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

300\; \rm lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mass (in pounds) of that 15\% copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain 25.5\% copper by mass.

Consider: if x pounds of that 15\% copper alloy is mixed with 700 pounds that 30\% copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

  • Mass of copper in x pounds of that 15\% copper alloy: (0.15\, x)\; \rm lb.
  • Mass of copper in 700 pounds of that 30\% copper alloy: 700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb.

Therefore, the mixture would contain (210 + 0.15\, x) \; \rm lb of copper.

The mass of that mixture would be (700 + x)\; \rm lb. The mass fraction of copper in that mixture would be:

\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\%.

This ratio is supposed to be equal to 25.5\%. These two pieces of equations combine to give an equation about x:

\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\% = 25.5\%.

\displaystyle \frac{210 + 0.15\, x}{700 + x} = 0.255.

Simplify and solve for x:

210 + 0.15\, x= 0.255\, (700 + x).

(0.255 - 0.15)\, x= 210 - 0.255 \times 700.

\displaystyle x = \frac{210 - 0.255 \times 700}{0.255 - 0.15} = 300.

Therefore, 300\; \rm lb of that 15\% alloy would be required.

A bridge is 3911.1 meters long. Which of the following best describes the length of the bridge in kilometers?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

3.9111 km

Explanation:

The length in kilometers is equal to the meters divided by 1,000. So, if you divide 3911.1 by 1,000 that equals 3.911. You move the decimal point to the left 3 times based on the number of zeros.
