Age difference = 15 ÷ 3 = 5
so Caitlin's age is 12 - 5 = 7

The sum of two numbers is 11 and their product is 128. find the numbers?

KatRina [158]

X+y=11
xy=128
x=11-y, so (11-y)y=128
11y-y²=128
y²-11y+128=0
use the quadratic formula to find y: y=(11+√391i)/2 or y= (11-√391i)/2
x=(11-√391i)/2, or x=(11+√391i)/2

so either there is an error in your question, or you have two unreal numbers:
(11-√391i)/2 and (11+√391i)/2

Hanz’s class had a goal to collect 250 cans of food for the school food drive. They collected 290 cans. What percent of their go

soldi70 [24.7K]

Given:

Goal = 250 cans

Number of collected cans = 290

To find:

The percent of their goal they achieved.

Solution:

The percent of their goal they achieved is:

$\text{Required percent}=\dfrac{\text{Number of collected cans}}{\text{Goal}}\times 100$

$\text{Required percent}=\dfrac{290}{250}\times 100$

$\text{Required percent}=\dfrac{29}{25}\times 100$

$\text{Required percent}=29\times 4$

$\text{Required percent}=116$

Therefore, they achieved 116% of their goal.
