I believe it’s 12 minutes since the since the time is unknown, you set it up as x/20+x/30 since you know that they are being added. Filling up the canteen is 1 because you want it full all the way so you find the common denominator and solve for the x which is 12

First, 47.7-45 to get price increase by tax for I which is 2.7. next divide 2.7 by 45 and multiply that by 100 to get a sales tax of 6%. Next 37.7-35 is once again 2.7. divide 2.7/35 and multiply times 100 to get a sales tax of 7.7 for T. T=7.7% and I=6% so since 7.7>6, therefore Tennessee has a greater sales tax then Iowa

A manufacturer produces bolts of a fabric with a fixed width. A quantity q of this fabric (measured in yards) that is sold is a

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$R'(20) = 2000$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Quantity, q

Selling price in dollars per yard, p

$q=f(p)$

Total revenue earned =

$R(p)=pf(p)$

f(20)=13000

This means that 13000 yards of fabric is sold when the selling price is 20 dollars per yard.

f′(20)=−550

This means that increasing the selling price by 1 dollar per yards there is a decrease in fabric sales by 550.

We have to find R'(20)

Differentiating the above expression, we have,

$R'(p) = \displaystyle\frac{d(R(p))}{dp} = \frac{d(pf(p))}{dp} = f(p) + pf'(p)$

Putting the values, we get,

$R'(p) = f(p) + pf'(p)\\\\R'(20) = f(20) + 20(f'(20))\\\\R'(20) = 13000 + 20(-550) = 2000$

Anestetic [448]

A word problem is used to solve problems in mathematics without the explicit use of equations initially.

<h3>What is a Word Problem?</h3>

This refers to the use of words to generate an equation that can be solved by mathematical means.

Hence, we can see that because the question is incomplete, we can infer that there is a relationship that exists between Dr. White, Dr. Black, Dr. Brown, and a woman that does not have brown hair, and equality would be used to solve it.
