Bella bought 3 bags of popcorn for $8.25 and 2 sodas for $4.40 at the movies last week. Last month, Bella was at the movies with

her friends and bought 3 bags of popcorn for $7.50 and 2 sodas for $3.80. What was the percent increase?

Answer:

bags of popcorn = 10%

sodas = 15.78%

overall increase was 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We must calculate the unit price of each product, before and after.

Before:

bags of popcorn = 7.50 / 3 = 2.5

sodas = 3.80 / 2 = 1.9

Then:

bags of popcorn = 8.25 / 3 = 2.75

sodas = 4.40 / 2 = 2.2

Now, we calculate for each:

bags of popcorn = 2.75 / 2.5 = 1.1

which means that the increase was 10%

sodas = 2.2 / 1.9 = 1.1578

Which means that the increase was 15.78%

If we calculate the percentage of total increase it would be:

(2.75 + 2.2) / (2.5 + 1.9) = 1,125

Therefore the overall increase was 12.5%

Find the coordinates of the point (x,y,z) on the planez=4x+3y+1 which is closest to the origin.
Nataliya [291]
Given plane Π : f(x,y,z) = 4x+3y-z = -1
Need to find point P on Π  that is closest to the origin O=(0,0,0).

Solution:
First step: check if O is on the plane Π : f(0,0,0)=0 ≠ -1 => O is not on Π
Next:
We know that the required point must lie on the normal vector <4,3,-1> passing through the origin, i.e. 
P=(0,0,0)+k<4,3,-1> = (4k,3k,-k)
For P to lie on plane &Pi; , it must satisfy
4(4k)+3(3k)-(-k)=-1
Solving for k
k=-1/26
=>
Point P is (4k,3k,-k) = (-4/26, -3/26, 1/26) = (-2/13, -3/26, 1/26)
because P is on the normal vector originating from the origin, and it satisfies the equation of plane &Pi;
Answer: P(-2/13, -3/26, 1/26) is the point on &Pi; closest to the origin.

Answer:

34 Braids

Step-by-step explanation:

.85 per braid means 1 is 85 cents, 2 is $1.70 and so on.  So normally you would just divide the total amount of money, so for instance if you had $2.55 you would be able to afford 3 braids, since 3 braids cost $2.55.  in fact $2.56, $2.57 aaaaaaaaaaall the way up to $3.39 would be 3 braids, then $3.40 would be 4 braids.

Here though you first pay 3 dollars.  so you need 3 first, then an extra 85 cents to get 1 braid.  2 braids is 3 dollars plus 1.70, 3 braids is 3 + 2.55 4 braids is 3 + 3.40 and so on.

So what you want to do is first take away that 3 dollars you need before the braids, then divide by .85.  for instance $6.40 would get you 4 braids as I showed bcause 3 + 3.40 = 6.40.  now 6.40 - 3 = 3.40 then 3.40 divided by .85 = 4

The problem says we start with$32, so lets do those steps.  first 32 - 3 = 29.  then 29 divided by .85 = 34.11.  well it's not  whole number so lets try something.  34 braids would be 3 + .85*34 = 31.90 and 35 braids would be 32.75  So 31.90, 31.91 aaaaaaaaall the way up to 32.74 would be 34 braids then 32.75 would be 35 braids.  well, $32 is in that in between space, so it is 34 braids.

When I did 32 - 3 = 29.  then 29 divided by .85 = 34.11 that 34.11 does actually tell us we wouldn't get to 35, I just wanted to make it very clear.  so the answer is 34 braids.

The area of a square is 75 inches squared. A student correctly wrote the length of each side of the square as a√3. What is the v
aev [14]

Answer: 5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The area of the square is 75\ in.^2

The side length of the square is a\sqrt{3}

Area of square=(\text{length})^2

\therefore 75=(a\sqrt{3})^2\\\Rightarrow 75=3a^2\\\Rightarrow a^2=25\\\Rightarrow a=5\ in.

Thus, value of a is 5 inch
