here you go, practice it once or twice. good luck
I'm not sure what you meant after alligators, if it was or or for, but I think it was for so I'm going with that. If 60 increase every 5 years, it would be 60 over 5 (in fractions). So I would do 60 divided by 5, which would be 12. So that means 12 increase every year. I'm not sure what mean meant either, if you're talking about the mathematical mean, but you can't solve the mean in this problem. The Answer: The yearly change in the alligator population would be 12.
Let x represent the number of half-gallons purchased by the store. Then x-13 is the number sold, and 2.80x is the store's cost. The revenue is 4.06(x-13) and the difference between that and cost is the profit.
... 4.06(x -13) -2.80x = 63.14
... 1.26x - 52.78 = 63.14 . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
... 1.26x = 115.92 . . . . . . . . . . add 52.78
... x = 115.92/1.26 = 92 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
The store purchased 92 half-gallons of milk.
Answer:
390 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We will break this shape into two rectangles, one that is 7 ft wide by 30 ft long
and the other that is 25ft-7ft wide by 30ft -20 ft long (18 ft by 10 ft)
1st: 7 ft by 30 ft
A = l*w = 7*30 = 210 ft^2
2nd: 18 ft by 10 ft
A = l*w = 18 * 10 = 180 ft^2
Add the areas together
210+180 = 390 ft^2
