The largest group that can go to the zoo is 23 members

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • A zoo charges an admission price of $85 for the first 12 members of a group and $6 for each additional member of the group
  • We need to find the largest group that can go to the zoo and spend less than $155 on admission

Assume that the number of members in the group is x

∵ There are x members in the group

∵ The zoo charges an admission price of $85 for the first 12

   members of a group and $6 for each additional member

   of the group

- Take 12 members from x and multiply the rest members by

   6 and then add 85 to the product

∴ The group will spend = 6(x - 12) + 85

∵ The group wants to spend less than 155 to go to the zoo

- use the symbol < between the expression above and 155

∴ 6(x - 12) + 85 < 155

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 6x - 72 + 85 < 155

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 6x + 13 < 155

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 6x < 142

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x < 23.67

- Take the largest integer less than 23.67

∵ 23 is the largest integer less than 23.67

∴ The group has 23 members

The largest group that can go to the zoo is 23 members

Suppose Bank One offers a certificate of deposit that pays $5,000 in four years for exchange for $4,000 today. What interest rat
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Bank One is offering a simple interest rate of 6.25% per annum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Bank One offers a certificate of deposit that pays $ 5,000 in four years for exchange for $ 4,000 today, to determine what interest rate is Bank One offering the following calculation must be performed:

(5000 - 4000) / 4 = X

1000/4 = X

250 = X

4000 = 100

250 = X

250 x 100/4000 = X

25000/4000 = X

6.25 = X

Therefore, Bank One is offering a simple interest rate of 6.25% per annum.

The diagram shows the entrance to a tunnel.
gladu [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

it filled up half the circle (up to the center point) - if we had a full circle. but a little bit is cut off (below AB).

what we see is that the shaded area is the sum of the area of the triangle AOB and 2 equally sized circle segment areas left and right of AOB.

since we are dealing with a half-circle, we have 180° in total. 120° are taken by AOB, so, that leaves us with 180-120 = 60° for both circle segments (so, one has an angle of 30°).

and 2×30° = 1×60°, so we can calculate the area of one 60° segment instead of two 30° segments.

AOB is an isoceles triangle (the legs are equally long, and therefore also the 2 side angles are equal).

the area of this triangle AOB is

1/2 × a × b × sin(C) = 1/2 × 3 × 3 × sin(120) =

= 3.897114317... m²

a circle segment area of 60° is 60/360 = 1/6 of the full circle area (as a full circle = 360°).

so, it's area is

pi×r² × 1/6 = pi×3²/6 = pi×3/2 = 4.71238898... m²

so, the total area of the shaded area is

3.897114317... m² + 4.71238898... m² =

= 8.609503297... m²
