Answer:

Small bag = 15 kg

Medium bag = 22.5 kg

Large bag = 52.50 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A pile of sand has a weight of 90 kg.

The sand is put into a small bag,a medium bag and a large bag in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7.

A small base has 2 of total weight of sand.

A medium bag has 3 of total weight of sand.

A large bag has 7 of total weight of sand.

Amount of sand in small bag =\dfrac{2}{12}\times 90 =15\ kg

Amount of sand in medium bag =\dfrac{3}{12}\times 90 =22.50\ kg

Amount of sand in large bag =\dfrac{7}{12}\times 90 =52.50\ kg

Hence, The weight of sand in small bag is 15 kg, medium bag is 22.50 kg and large bag is 52.50 kg.

Hi there:)
Total ratio
2+3+7=12
Now find the weight of sand in each bag

Small bag
90×(2÷12)
=15 kg
Medium bag
90×(3÷12)
=22.5
Large bag
90×(7÷12)
=52.5

Hope it helps

Find the 11th partial sum of the summation of negative 7i plus 22, from i equals 1 to infinity.
Alinara [238K]
The answer is -220 
What you do is take -7 and multiply that by (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) and then after that add 11 again and multiply it by 22. It would look like this. 

-7 x (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) +11 x 22

Simplify that to -7 x 66 +11 x 22

now multiply -7 and 66 to get -462 

-462 +11 x 22 

multiply 11 and 22 

-462 + 242 

and your final answer will be -220

Jerome bought a sweater that was on sale for 20 percent off. Jerome paid $25.10 for the sweater, including sales tax of 8.25 per
Over [174]
Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
                                                                                                           = X - 0.2X
                                                                                                            = 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
   = 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.

Helpp, I need to determine the slope and y-intercept for each group. I need to write an equation for the graph in slope-intercep
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Slope = -2

Y intercept = 4

Equation. y = -2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using points, (1,2) and (3,-2)

Slope = (-2-2)/(3-1) = -4/2 = -2

Y intercept = 4

-2 = (y-3)/(x-1)

-2(x-1) = y-3

-2x +2 = y-3

y = -2x +2 +3

y = -2x +5
