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%

An experience bricklayer can construct a small wall in 3 hours. An apprentice can complete the job in 5 hours. Find how long it
Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.

If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x} and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:

15x(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x}) and doing that gives us

5x + 3x = 15 and

8x = 15 so

x = 1.875 hours which is 1 7/8 hours which is also 1 hour and 52 1/2 minutes.
