Lily made $75.36 more than Layla did. If Layla raised her price to $1.00, she would still not make more money than Lily.

Use a proportion to find the number of cupcakes Lily makes in 8 hours. She bakes 7 cupcakes in 10 minutes; we want to know how many she makes in 8(60)=480 (since there are 8 hours and each hour is 60 minutes):

7/10 = x/480

Cross multiply:
7*480 = 10*x
3360 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10:
3360/10 = 10x/10
336 = x

Lily bakes 336 cupcakes.

She sells 2/3 of these; 2/3(336) = 2/3(336/1) = 672/3 = 224 cupcakes sold.

Each cupcake is sold for $1.29; 224(1.29) = 288.96

To find the number of cupcakes Layla makes in 8 hours, we set up a different proportion. We know she bakes 8 cupcakes in 12 minutes; we want to know how many she bakes in 8(60) = 480 minutes:

8/12 = x/480
8*480 = 12*x
3840 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12:
3840/12 = 12x/12
320 = x

She bakes 320 cupcakes. She sells 75% of those; 75% = 75/100 = 0.75:
0.75(320) = 240

Each of those 240 cupcakes sells for $0.89:
0.89(240) = 213.60

This means Lily makes 288.96-213.60 = 75.36 more than Layla.

If Layla raised her price to $1.00, she would make 1(240) = $240; this is still less than Lily.

On average,ea rectangular garden ha an area of 144 meter square. During a redesign of the garden center, the dimension of the re

aksik [14]

Answer:

New dimensions are; Width = 12m and Length = 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangle be L

Let width be W

Area of rectangle has a formula;

Area = Length x Width = LW

We are given the area = 144 m²

So,

LW = 144 - - - (eq1)

Now, we are told that width is doubled and length is decreased by 12m but area remains the same.

Thus, we have;

Width as 2W and Length as L - 12.

Area = 2W(L - 12)

So,

2W(L - 12) = 144 - - - (eq2)

Equating eq 1 and 2,we have;

LW = 2W(L - 12)

W will cancel out to give;

L = 2(L - 12)

L = 2L - 24

2L - L = 24

L = 24m

From equation 1, LW = 144

Thus; W = 144/L = 144/24

W = 6m

So new design of rectangle now has a dimension of;

Width = 2W = 2 × 6 = 12m

Length = L - 12 = 24 - 12 = 12m

So, new dimensions are; Width = 12m and Length = 12m

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$\frac{2 \pi r}{\frac{360^{\circ}}{n^{\circ}}}$ best completes this argument

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of circle = $\pi \cdot d$

Where d is the diameter of circle

We are given that if equally sized central angles, each with a measure of n°, are drawn, the number of sectors that are formed will be equal to $\frac{360^{\circ}}{n^{\circ}}$

So, Number of sectors = $\frac{360^{\circ}}{n^{\circ}}$

The arc length of each sector is the circumference divided by the number of sectors

$\Rightarrow \frac{\pi \cdot d}{\frac{360^{\circ}}{n^{\circ}}}$

Diameter d = 2r (r = radius)

$\Rightarrow \frac{2 \pi r}{\frac{360^{\circ}}{n^{\circ}}}$

Option b is true

Hence $\frac{2 \pi r}{\frac{360^{\circ}}{n^{\circ}}}$ best completes this argument

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

a. Yes

b. 0.35

c. 0.5

E(x)=34.25

V(x)=73.1875

SD(x)=8.555

Step-by-step explanation:

x 20 25 30 35 40 45 50

f(x) 0.05 0.2 0.25 0.15 0.15 0.1 0.1

This will be valid probability distribution if

1. All probabilities are between 0 and 1 inclusive.

2. Sum of probabilities must be 1.

Condition 1 is satisfied in this distribution. Now, we will check second condition

sum(f(x))=0.05+0.2+0.25+0.15+0.15+0.1+0.1=1.

As the both conditions are satisfied, thus the given distribution is a valid probability distribution.

P(x≥40)=P(X=40)+P(X=45)+P(X=50)

P(x≥40)=0.15+0.1+0.1

P(x≥40)=0.35

So, the probability that Backens and Hayes LLC will obtain 40 or more new clients is 0.35.

P(x<35)=P(X=20)+P(X=25)+P(X=30)

P(x<35)=0.05+0.2+0.25

P(x<35)=0.5

So, the probability that Backens and Hayes LLC will obtain fewer than 35 new clients is 0.5.

Expected value of x=E(x)= sum[x*f(x)]

E(x)= 20*0.05+25*0.2+30*0.25+35*0.15+40*0.15+45*0.1+50*0.1

E(x)=1+5+7.5+5.25+6+4.5+5

E(x)=34.25

Variance of x=V(x)=sum[x²*f(x)]-(sum[x*f(x)])²

sum[x²*f(x)]= 20²*0.05 +25²*0.2 +30²*0.25 +35²*0.15 +40²*0.15 +45²*0.1 +50²*0.1

sum[x²*f(x)]=20+1255+225+183.75+240+202.5+50

sum[x²*f(x)]=1246.25

V(x)=1246.25-(34.25)²

V(x)=73.1875

Standard deviation of x=SD(x)=√V(x)

SD(x)=8.555
