Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this you could use two methods. The first method is to find out what 10% is and multiply it by 5. The second method is to calculate 50% using the formula.

<u>Method 1:</u>

To work this out you would simply divide 17.50 by 10, which is 1.75. This is because percentages are out of 100 and so by dividing by 10 we are finding out what 10% is. Then you would multiply 1.75 by 5, which is 8.75. Then you would minus 8.75 from 17.50, which is 8.75.

<u></u>

1) Divide 17.50 by 10.

17.50/10=1.75

2) Multiply 1.75 by 5.

1.75*5=8.75

3) Minus 8.75 from 17.50.

17.50-8.75=8.75

4) The new price is $8.75

<u>Method 2:</u>

<u></u>

The formula for percentages is.

\frac{percentage}{100} * amount

<u></u>

To work this out you would first divide 50 by 100, which gives you 0.5. Then you would multiply 0.5 by 17.50, which is 8.75. Then you would minus 8.75 from 17.50, which is 8.75.

1) Divide 50 by 100.

50/100=0.5

2) Multiply 0.5 by 17.50.

17.50*0.5=8.75

3) Minus 8.75 from 17.50.

17.50-8.75=8.75

4) The new price is $8.75.

Two important ingredients for baking bread are yeast and flour. To make a loaf of bread of at most 30 servings, maintain a yeast
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

If 0.25 oz of yeast is used, then 50oz of flour is needed.

It would require 0.5 oz of yeast for 90 oz the flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the proportion of yeast (y) and flour (f) is 1: 200 when a maximum of 30 servings of bread is made. This is:

\frac{y}{f} = \frac{1}{200}

So if we use 0.25 oz of yeast:

y = 0.25\\\\y = (f)\frac{1}{200}\\\\0.25 = (f)\frac{1}{200}\\\\0.25 * 200 = f\\\\f = 50\ oz

if 0.25 oz of yeast is used, then 50oz of flour is needed.

If you make 60 servings of bread with 90 oz. Of flour, then you should keep the following ratio:

\frac{y}{f} =\frac{1}{180}

So, if we use f = 90 0z of flour:

f = 90\ oz\\\\f = 180y\\\\90 = 180y\\\\y = \frac{90}{180}\\\\y = 0.5\ oz

It would require 0.5 oz of yeast.

How do I correctly solve this?
Gelneren [198K]
<h3>Answer: y = 14</h3>

===================================

Explanation:

The two angles involving x add up to 180 degrees. This is because they are same side interior angles (and because the horizontal lines are parallel)

So,

(angle BCF) + (angle EFC) = 180

(5x - 66) + (2x + 50) = 180

5x - 66 + 2x + 50 = 180

7x - 16 = 180

7x - 16+16 = 180+16 ... add 16 to both sides

7x = 196

7x/7 = 196/7 .... divide both sides by 7

x = 28

This will be used to help find y

Notice how the angles BCF and ACD are vertical angles, therefore they are congruent or the same measure

angle ACD = angle BCF

9y - 52 = 5x - 66

9y - 52 = 5*28 - 66 ..... replace x with 28 (since x = 28)

9y - 52 = 140 - 66

9y - 52 = 74

9y - 52+52 = 74+52 .... add 52 to both sides

9y = 126

9y/9 = 126/9 .... divide both sides by 9

y = 14
