Jack bought 4 dozen eggs at $10 per dozen. 6 were broken. what percent of his money goes to waste

Mathematics

Korvikt [17]3 years ago
5 0

So, if he has 4 dozen eggs, ten dollars per dozen, he has spent $40 on 48 eggs. <em>This means the cost of one egg = 48/40. </em>This can simplify to <em>6/5 </em>which is equal to<em> $1.20. </em>This means the value of one egg is $1.20, including the broken ones! So if six were broken, we multiply 1.20 x 6 which equals <em>$7.20!</em>

Use this "formula" to help find percentages

<em>Part/Total = %( Percentage )/ 100</em>

Now that we know how much money has gone to waste, we can plug in the known values into this "formula."

<em>7.2/48 = x/100</em>

Solve accordingly; cross multiply, 720 = 48x; divide both sides of the equation by 48 to isolate the variable, 720/48 = 48x/48; now you have your final answer which is:

15 = x; going back to the "formula" this means 15% of his money has gone to waste. I hope this helped! :)

What is -4 the square root of 12 + the square root of 75 in simplist radical form?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

<u>The simplest radical form of this mathematical expression is - 3√3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's write in a mathematical expression the information given:

-4 the square root of 12 + the square root of 75

-4 (√12) + √75

-4 (√4 * 3) + (√25 * 3)  (12 = 4 * 3 and 75 = 25 * 3)

-4 (2 √3) + 5 √3

-8 √3 + 5√3

- 3 √3

The result is- 3 square root of 3.

<u>The simplest radical form of this mathematical expression is - 3√3</u>

On average, Shawnte drinks of a 6-ounce glass of water in
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

3/4 of a 6-ounce glass will be drunk by her in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given time = 2/3 of hour

                  = 2/3 (60)       As hour = 60 mins

                  = 120/3

                   = 40 mins

Given quantity of water = 1/2 of 6-ounce

                                      = 3 ounce

So,

  In 40 mins, water intake is 3 ounce

  In 1 min, water intake is 3/40

  In 60 mins, water in take is (3/40)*60 = 4.5 ounce

Quantity of water intake in 60 mins:

       4.5 ounce or 3/4 of 6-ounce glass

I hope it will help you.
