Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We khow that the genetic mutation affect 2 percent of the population .
Let's try to understand what does this mean :
- in a group of 100 people there is possibility of finding 2 people with this genetic mutation
- in a group of 1000 the possibility raises to 20 people so we can deduce that each time we add a zero we add a zero in 2
so :
- 100⇒2
- 1000⇒20
- 10000⇒200
- 100000⇒2000
and so on
Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.
20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.
50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be
50 × 11.5 = 575
This means that
10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1
The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that
x + y = 50
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.
10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575
525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575
- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525
2.5y = 50
y = 50/2.5 = 20
x = 50 - 20= 30
To estimate I would do 50*7 which is 350. That is overestimating since the real answer is 336.
Answer:
15/24 or 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Well 9 are female
The rest of the 24 has to be male so
24-9=15
15/24 or 5/8
Given that the dealer sells a dozen tires for $240, every 3-tire set costs $60. There are six 2-tire sets in a dozen. Thus, his total revenue should be $360. The total profit is the difference between the total revenue and the total cost. The answer is therefore, the first choice, $120.
