Equation : 2x - 3 = 45

Paula sold 24 packages last year

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DATA:</u>

Number of packages Paula sold this year = 45 packages

This year's packages are 3 less than twice the number of packages sold last year.

  • 3 less than = -3
  • Twice the number of packages sold last year

Let's assume the number of packages sold last year to be x

2x

Equation:

2x - 3 = 45

<u>Solution:</u>

2x - 3 = 45

2x = 48

x = 24

Therefore, Paula sold 24 packages last year.

chantal volunteered to bring 1 gallon of freshly squeezed orange juice to a picnic.the local grocery store sells 4-pound bags of
pochemuha
(128 oz) * (2 oranges)/(5 oz) * (1 bag)/(11.5 oranges) * $3.49/bag ≈ $15.54

Note that we have assumed 11.5 oranges per bag, and that partial bags are available.

If Chantal must buy whole bags of oranges, 5 bags will be needed and the cost will be $17.45.

Jane is playing a game in which he spins a spinner with 6 equal-sized slices numbered 1 through 6. The spinner stops on a number
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The expected value of playing the game is $0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the weighted average of the random variable.

The formula to compute the expected value of a random variable <em>X</em> is:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

The random variable <em>X</em> in this case can be defined as the amount won in playing the game.

The probability distribution of <em>X</em> is as follows:

Number on spinner:   1           2           3          4           5              6

Amount earned (<em>X</em>):   $1        $4         $7        $10     -$8.75     -$8.75

Probability:                 1/6       1/6         1/6        1/6         1/6           1/6

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

         =(1\times \frac{1}{6})+(4\times \frac{1}{6})+(7\times \frac{1}{6})+(10\times \frac{1}{6})+(-8.75\times \frac{1}{6})+(-8.75\times \frac{1}{6})

         =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{4}{6}+\frac{7}{6}+\frac{10}{6}-\frac{8.75}{6}-\frac{8.75}{6}

         =\frac{1+4+7+10-8.75-8.75}{6}

         =0.75

Thus, the expected value of playing the game is $0.75.

5a) rotational symmetry is 2 because it can be rotated only 2 times before it turns to the original form.

b) perimeter is the total surface of all the sides so, because we are given a scale of 1 unit = 1cm then our measurements would be: 4cm + 3cm + 2cm + 1cm + 4cm + 3cm + 2cm + 1cm = 20cm.

c) To workout the area we need to divide the irregular shape into separate regular shapes<em>.</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>diagram</em><em> </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>help</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em>!</em><em> </em>Shape 1 is a rectangle so, area = L × W = 3 × 2 = 6cm. Shape 2 is a square so, area = side² = 2² = 4cm. Shape 3 is the same as shape 1 so the area is 6cm. Now to find the area of the whole shape we add these values so, 6+4+6= area of shape = 16cm.

d) <em>The</em><em> </em><em>dia</em><em>gram</em><em> </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>show</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em>!</em>
