Answer: 18 note pads sold and price for each is $2.03

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an algebra problem

denoting k as the price  of each note pads

denoting m as the number of notepads sold

from the problem statement "The bookstore marked some notepads down from ​$3.00 but still kept the price over ​$2.00"

k < $3.00 and k > $2.00

the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was ​$36.55

thus km = $36.55

        m  = $36.55/k

when k < $3.00 when k is maximum, m will be minimum m > $12.18

when k > $2.00 when k is minimum, m will be maximum m < $18.28

if m is the number of notepads sold, the value of m must be a whole number, then minimum value is

thus we iterate to get the minimum

for m = 15

   k = $36.55/15 = $2.44

for m = 16

   k = $36.55/16 = $2.28

for m = 17

   k = $36.55/17 = $2.15

for m = 18

   k = $36.55/18 = $2.03

for m = 19

   k = $36.55/19 = $1.92

The number of notepads sold will be 17 and the price of each notepad is $2.15

Let's assume, the price of each notepad is X and the number of notepads sold is Y

As the price of each notepad is below $3.00 and over $2.00 , that means

X < 3.00 and X > 2.00

As the number of notepads sold is Y, so the total price of all X number of notepads will be : XY

Here it is given that, the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was ​$36.55

So, XY = 36.55

⇒ Y = \frac{36.55}{X}

For X < 3.00 ,

Y > \frac{36.55}{3.00} (when X is max, then Y will be min)

⇒ Y > 12.183

and for X > 2.00,

Y < \frac{36.55}{2.00} (when X is min, then Y will be max)

⇒ Y < 18.275

As here Y is the number of notepads sold, so the value of Y must be a whole number. The minimum value of Y will be 13 and maximum value will be 18.

Now we will use hit and trial method

If Y= 13 , then X = \frac{36.55}{13} = 2.81153846....

If Y= 14 , then X = \frac{36.55}{14} = 2.6107142...

If Y= 15 , then X = \frac{36.55}{15} = 2.43666666...

If Y= 16 , then X = \frac{36.55}{16} = 2.2843..

If Y= 17 , then X = \frac{36.55}{17} = 2.15

and if Y = 18 , then X = \frac{36.55}{18} = 2.0305555...

So, for getting XY= 36.55 exactly, the value of X= 2.15 and the value of Y=17.

So, the number of notepads sold will be 17 and the price of each notepad is $2.15

A cylinder has a height of 4 meters and a radius of 1.5 meters. What is the approximate radius of a sphere that has the same sur
Mama L [17]

If the surface area of the cylinder is 12π square meters. Then the radius of the sphere will be 1.7 meters.

<h3>What is a cylinder?</h3>

A cylinder is a closed solid that has two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.

A cylinder has a height of 4 meters and a radius of 1.5 meters.

Then the approximate radius of a sphere that has the same surface area as the cylinder.

We know that the Surface area of the cylinder will be is given as

Surface area = 2πrh

Surface area = 2 x π x 1.5 x 4

Surface area = 12π square meters

Then we have

Surface area of sphere = surface area of cylinder

                              4πr² = 12π

                                  r² = 3

                                   r = 1.7 meters

More about the cylinder link is given below.

There are 32 students in a class.Nine of those students are women.What percent are men?(round nearest tenth)
Stels [109]
Hey there!
Find out how many men there are by subtracting the number of woman by the total number of students
32-9= 23
23 students are men
To find the percent just simply multiply. *cross multiply
23/32 *100= 71.87
100*23= 2300
2300/32= 17.875

17.875 rounds to 17.9

71.9% are men

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

  (a)  There are asymptotes at x=3/2 and x=-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator zeros can be found by factoring:

  f(x) = (x +1)/((2x -3)(3x +1))

Neither of the denominator factors is cancelled by the numerator factor, so each represents a vertical asyptote, not a function hole.

The asymptotes are at the values of x where the denominator is zero:

  2x -3 = 0   ⇒   x = 3/2

  3x +1 = 0   ⇒   x = -1/3
