Answer:

A- X= 20÷5-3

B- 20÷5=4; 4-3=1

C- X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.

Let's check:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)

Answer:

a. 20 = 5x + 15

b. x = 1

c. X represents the number of cookies before three more were added to each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 20 is your total, or y. 5 is the amount of bags, with "x" cookies. Three more cookies are added to EACH bag, so 3*5 is 15. If you do it in slope-intercept form, the equation is 20(y)= 5x + 15 (added cookies).

b. 20 = 5x + 15

20 - 15 = 5x + 15 - 15

5 = 5x

5/5 = x

x = 1

c. Remember that x is the amount of cookies in each bag before three more were added. If you add the amount before more were added (1), and the amount added (3), you get 4. Then, you multiply the total amount of cookies in each bag and the number of bags (4*5), you get 20, which the problem says is the total number of cookies in all the bags.

hope this helps :)

A investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year her stocking company A was worth $4600 in her stock
aalyn [17]

Answer: 24.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year her stock in company A was worth $4600. If her Stock in company A has decreased by 25% since last year in stock, then the amount by which it decreased is

25/100 × 4600 = $1150

The present worth is

4600 - 1150 = $3450

Also, her stock in company B was worth $1000. If her Stock in company B has decreased by 22% since last year in stock, then the amount by which it decreased is

22/100 × 1000 = $220

The present worth is

1000 - 220 = $780

The total worth of both stocks last year was

4600 + 1000 = $5600

The total worth of both stocks this year was

3450 + 780 = $4230

The amount by which it decreased is

5600 - 4230 = 1370

the total percentage decrease in the investor stock account is

1370/5600 × 100 = 24.5%

A company plans to build a wheelchair ramp with the following
Liono4ka [1.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The height that would be allowed with a ramp 43.5 feet long is ...

  h = (43.5 ft)·sin(4.8°) ≈ 3.64 ft

The proposed height is less than 3.64 ft, so the ramp angle is less than 4.8°.

__

The ramp angle is actually arcsin(3/43.5) ≈ 3.95°, which is less than 4.8°.
