Answer: 70.37\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the percentage of apples  that were actually good for consumption.

You know that total number of apples the farmer harvested was 270 apples.  

Then, you can identify that 270 apples represents the 100\%

You know that 80 of them were unfit for consumption, so the number of apples  that were good for consumption was:

270\ apples-80\ apples=190\ apples

Then, you can set up the  following proportion in order to find the percentage of apples  that were actually good for consumption:

\frac{100}{270}=\frac{x}{190}

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(190)(\frac{100}{270})=x\\\\x=70.37\%

Bobby's cat runs x mph. Bobby's dog runs twice as fast as his cat.
yanalaym [24]

Answer;

They will be 0.5x miles away from each other

Explanation;

Since the dog runs twice the speed of the cat

Its speed will be 2 * x = 2x mph

Now we want to know how far they will be from each other after 30 minutes

Kindly note that 30 minutes is 1/2 hour

Mathematically;

distance = speed * time

Distance of cat = x * 1/2 = 0.5x miles

Distance of dog = 2x * 0.5 = x miles

The dog is x - 0.5x miles = 0.5x miles away from the cat
