<span>To make identical first aid bags and maximize the amount, you first have to take the item that you have the least amount of and make that your base amount of bags with one item per bag. Doing that for the nurse gives 36 bags with 1 packet of ointment per bag and 0 left over. Next, you know that you have 72 antiseptic wipes which is double the amount of ointment, so you would put 2 antiseptic wipes in each bag and have 0 left over. Finally, since 55 bandages is not double 35, you would put one bandage in each bag and have 19 bandages left over. In summary, there would be 36 bags, with each having 2 antiseptic wipes, 1 adhesive bandage, and one packet of ointment. There would be 19 adhesive bandages leftover.</span>

Two phone companies one is 11/+.16/ min And another is 20+.11/min How many minutes will make both equal amounts
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Company one charges $11 + $0.16 per min.

Then if you talk for x minutes, the cost will be:

C₁(x) = $11 + ($0.16 per min)*x

For company two, the prize is $20 + $0.11 per min, and if yo talk for x minutes, the cost will be:

C₂(x) = $20 + ($0.11 per min)*x

Now we want to find the value of x, the number of minutes, such that the cost is the same with both companies.

C₁(x) = C₂(x)

$11 + ($0.16 per min)*x = $20 + ($0.11 per min)*x

($0.16 per min)*x - ($0.11 per min)*x = $20 - $11

($0.05 per min)*x = $9

x = $9/($0.05 per min) = 180 mins

If you speak for 180 minutes, the cost is the same in both companies.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Katie needs to pay $27.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Cost of per foot = $2.25

Number of  flowers in her yard = 12.4 square foot

We need to find how much she needs to pay.

Solution:

Now we know that;

1\ ft^2 = \$2.25

So for 12.4 ft^2 = Cost for 12.4 ft^2 .

By using Unitary method we get;

Cost for 12.4 ft^2 = 2.25\times12.4= \$27.9

Hence Katie needs to pay $27.9.

C. 16.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to apply here is;

A=P(1+r/n) ^nt where

A=final amount

P=starting amount

r=rate of interest annually

n=number of compounding per year

t=time in years

Given ; P=$500, A=$750 , r=2.5%=0.025 , t=?,n=1

Substitute values;

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

$750=$500(1+0.025)^t

750=500(1.025)^t

750/500=(1.025)^t

1.5=(1.025)^t

log 1.5 =t log (1.025)

log 1.5/log 1.025 = t

16.4 =t
