5 0

Answer: 137 letters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

The number has 4 digits.

The number is a multiple of 5

The number is a multiple of 7

The last digit is a 0.

Then, let's find all the possible numbers that met these conditions.

Our number can be formed with 4 digits, A, B, C and D.

D is the last one, so we have  D = 0.

So the number is: ABC0

We know that all the numbers that end with 0 are multiples of 5, so that condition does not matter.

Now, a number is divisible by 7 if:

Take the last digit of the number, double it and subtract it to the remaining number, if the result is multiple of 7, then the initial number is a multiple of 7.

In this case the last digit is 0, so when we double it and subtract it, we actually are not changing the other 3 digits.

Then we have that:

ABC must be a multiple of 7.

So now our problem reduces to find the number of 3-digit numbers that are multiples of 7.

The first multiple of 7 that has 3 digits is:

7*15 = 105.

And the largest possible 3 digit number is 999, now let's try to divide it by 7 to see if this is also a multiple of 7.

999/7 = 142.7

the quotient is not integer, so 999 is not a multiple of 7.

The next option is 998, we can do the same here:

998/7 = 142.6

And so on, we will find that the largest 3 digit multiple of 7 is:

994, such that:

7*152=994.

Then we have:

Smallest: 7*15 = 105

Largest: 7*152 = 994.

Then the number of multiples of 7 between 999 and 100 will be equal to the difference between the quotients between the multples and 7.

105/7 = 15

994/7 = 152

152 - 15 =  137

So we have 137 multiples of 7 with 3 digits.

Then we have 137 4-digit numbers, that end with a zero and also are divisible by 5 and 7.

So John must send 137 letters if he wants to be shure that Peter will get the card.

Joel sells ice cream cones at the country fair. he has to rent the equipment for $36 and spend $0.52 on ingredients for each con
svlad2 [7]
$1.4-0.52=$0.88


So, Joel makes $0.88 profits for every sales.


To overcome rent fee, We need $36.

36/0.88= 40.90909....


So, Joel needs to sell at least 41 iceCream on country fair to make profits.

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the equation y = x2 – 2.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>X-intercept(s) : Take y = 0</u>

  • 0 = x² - 2
  • x = ±√2
  • X-intercepts are : (-√2, 0) and (√2, 0)

<u>Y-intercept : Take x = 0</u>

  • y = (0)² - 2
  • y = -2
  • Y-intercept is : (0, -2)
