A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

The exact answer is:

The algebraic expression n/10, where n is the number of boards, represents the number of times he gets 2 free boxes of nails. So 2(n/10), or n/5, is the number of boxes, and 100(n/5), or 20n, is the number of nails. Substituting 90 in for n,

Brenda observes that the keyboard and the screen of an open laptop lie on two different planes. In how many lines do the planes
Lerok [7]
Let's assume the laptop is opened at 90 degrees (this is done for the sake of simplicity, is actually irrelevant) then each plane would be analogous to the 'x' and 'y' planes you see in a Cartesian Plane, which only intersect at one point called the Origin. Any two lines with different slopes will intersect only one time (if they're parallel they have the same slope)

What is 115% of 25? A. 46. B. 27.73. C. 28.75. D. 27.75
gladu [14]
100% = 25 so 25 + 15%
15% = .25 (25 divided by 100= .25) x 15 = 3.75

25 + 3.75 = 28.75 so C
