Answer: The price of candies in cents per ounce is 20.31 cents per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Jackson bought 3 pounds of candies for $9.75.

We are to find the price of the candies in cents per ounce.

We know that

1 dollar = 100 cents and 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Given that

Price of 3 pounds of candies = $ 9.75 = 9.75 × 100 cents = 975 cents.

So, price of 1 pound of candies will be

$\dfrac{975}{3}=325~\textup{cents}.$

This implies that, price of 16 ounces of candies = 325 cents.

Therefore, price of 1 ounce of candies will be

$\dfrac{325}{16}=20.31~\textup{cents}.$

Thus, the price of candies in cents per ounce is 20.31 cents per ounce.

In a survey 25% of the people said they live in a city of 60 people said they live in a city how many people were surveyed

alisha [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

You said:

'25% of the people = 60 people "

' 25% ' means 0.25

'of ' means ' times'

So people (0.25) x (the people) = 60

the people=60/0.25

the people=6000/25

the people=240

Evaluate: 2a + 4b when a = 10 & b = 6

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: Option C: 44

Step-by-step explanation:

so, here we have the equation:

H(a,b) = 2a + 4b

"evaluate" means change the values of the variables for specific values, here we must replace the "a" for 10, and the "b" for a 6.

So we have:

H(10, 6) = 2*10 + 4*6 = 20 + 24 = 44

MARKING BRANLIEST!!

grin007 [14]

Area of a triangle is = 0.5bh
if the height (h) is 4 less than base (b) then h = b - 4

48 = 0.5(b)(b - 4)
48/0.5 = b² - 4b
96 = b² - 4b
b² - 4b - 96 = 0
(b + 8)(b - 12) = 0

b must be either -8 or 12

since a distance can't be negative that means
the base is 12
