Answer:

Please read answers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer all the questions about the election.

1. How many votes does Candidate Smith claim?

Candidate Smith claimed 52% of 5,000

Candidate Smith claimed 0.52 * 5,000 = 2,600

Candidate Smith claimed 2,600 votes

2. What is the total of the vote count you just calculated for Candidate Smith and the 2,681 votes Candidate Adams claims?

Total votes claimed = 2,600 + 2,681

Total votes claimed = 5,281

3. What percentage of the votes does Candidate Adams claim? Do not round your result?

Percentage of the votes claimed by Candidate Adams = 2,681/5,000 = 53.62%

4. What is the total of the percentage of votes that you just calculated for Candidate Adams and the 52% of votes that Candidate Smith claims? Do not round.

Total percentage of votes claimed by both candidates = 53.62 + 52

Total percentage of votes claimed by both candidates = 105.62%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

u got the first 2 correct

percentage of votes Adams claims :

so he claims 2681 out of 5281..

2681 / 5281 = (jeez...u dont want it rounded)...ok....its :

0.50766900208 which equals 50.766900208 % <==

the total of the percentages :

52% + 50.766900208% = 102.766900208 % <==

You can peel 48 potatoes in 10 minutes. How long will it take you to peel 100 potatoes?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

About 20.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.

That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).

100

___

Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.

$\frac{48}{10} =\frac{100}{x}$ Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).

48x=1000 Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.

About 20.8 minutes

Sharon was going through the financial records of her company. The profit earned by the company, p(t), over time t, in years, fo

FromTheMoon [43]

For this case what we must do is find a quadratic function that is already factored.
This is because in the factored quadratic equations, it is easier to observe the zeros of the function.
In this case, the zeros of the function represent the time at which the company did not make any profit.
We have the following equation:
p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
We observed that there was no gain in:
t = 3
t = 5
The other roots are discarded because they are negative
Answer:
a.p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
