Ratios and proportions tie into each other. A ratio in real life would be basically comparing two quantities, as a proportion would be solving for the similar ratio or the equal ratio to another.

Danielle and Emilia brought apples, bananas, and oranges to a fruit sale.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

26 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

bananas, b= $0.50

oranges, o= $0.75

apples, a = $0.75  

Total fruit sold = 50

Total Earned  = $33.50

b + o + a = 50       Because the total number of all 3 fruits sold is 50

.5b + .75o + .75a =  $33.50           The number of each fruit, multiplied by the price of each fruit, and added together is $33.50

They sold twice as many bananas than oranges.

If o is oranges, then 2o = b because there are twice as many bananas so:

b + o + a = 50

2o + o + a = 50  

3o + a = 50

Now we can solve.

3o + a = 50

a = 50 - 3o

.5b + .75o + .75a =  $33.50

.5(2o) + .75o + .75a = $33.50

o + .75o + .75a = $33.50

1.75o + .75a = $33.50

Two equations and 2 unknowns.

a = 50 - 3o

1.75o + .75a = $33.50       Plug in a to solve for o.

1.75o + .75(50 - 3o) = $33.50

1.75o + .75*50 - .75*3o = $33.50

1.75o + 37.5 - 2.25o = $33.50   Combine like terms

1.75o - 2.25o +37.5 = $33.50

-.5o + 37.5 = 33.5     Add .5o to each side so it cancels on the left.

37.5 = 33.5 + .5o   Subtract 33.5 from each side

37.5 -33.5 = .5o

4 = .5o   Divide each side by .5

4/.5 = o

8 = o

Now plug into a = 50 - 3o

a = 50 - 3(8)

a = 50 - 24

a = 26

So even though we know they sold 26 apples, let's finish solving to check our work.

b + o + a = 50

b + 8 + 26 = 50

b + 34 = 50

b = 50 - 34

b = 16      

b = 2o  

b = 2 (8)

b = 16   Which works! Now the last step of checking our work:

.5b + .75o + .75a =  $33.50

.5(16) + .75(8) + .75(26) =  $33.50

8 + 6 + 19.5 = $33.50

14 + 19.5 = $33.50

33.5 = $33.50  Yes! It works too!

bananas = 16

oranges = 8

apples = 26

Sam owns a chain of fast food restaurants that operated 200 stores in 1999. If the rate of increase is 8% annually, how many sto
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

370 stores

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

initial number of stores P= 200

r= 8%

t= 1999-2007=  8 years

Let us apply the compound interest expression to find the final amount of stores

A= P(1+r)^t

A= 200(1+0.08)^8

A= 200(1.08)^8

A= 200*1.85

A=370

Hence the number of stores in 2007 is 370 stores

Solve for x pls:<br> Options:<br> a) -11 <br> b) 80 <br> c) 51 <br> d) -14
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Triangle be named 'ABC'

In Triangle ABC,

∠A = x + 51

∠B = 80               (Intersecting lines, Vertically opposite Angles)

∠C = 60               (Intersecting lines, Vertically opposite Angles)

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180  (Sum of angles of Triangle = 180)

x + 51 + 80 + 60 = 180

=> x + 191 = 180

=> x = 180 - 191

=> x = -11
