You are told that out of the total number of muffins that the baker bakes everyday, 40% of those are blueberry.

A) That means 36 is 40% of some number. There are many ways of solving this. You can create two fractions and set them equal to each other and solve for your missing value. 
One fraction is the fraction of the total number that are blueberry. 40% are blueberry, meaning 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5 are blueberry. 
The other fraction is the fraction of the total number of muffins baked that the 36 blueberry muffins makes up. Let's call the total number of muffins "x." That means 36/x is the your second fraction.

Set 2/5 equal to 36/x and solve for x by cross-multiplying:
\frac{2}{5} =  \frac{36}{x} \\
2x = 180\\
x = 90

Since x = 90, that means 90 total muffins were baked on Monday.

---------

B) This time you know the total number of muffins that were baked is 60 and you're looking for the number of blueberry muffins. Repeat what we did in part A, but this time we're solving for x as the number of blueberry muffins.
The fraction of all the muffins that are blueberry is still 40% = 2/5. 
The second fraction will be the number of blueberry muffins x over the total number of muffins, 60. So, x/60.

Set 2/5 equal to x/60 and solve for x by cross-multiplying:
\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{60} \\
5x = 120\\ 
x = 24

The number of blueberry muffins that the baker makes on Tuesday is 24.

What is the range of f(x)=4•0.5^x?
VikaD [51]

The range is the output, which would be the Y value.

The Y value would be calculated based on the input value for x.


any positive number raised to any value of x would be a positive number so 0.5^x would always be positive.

That would be multiplied by 4, which is a positive value, so the output ( Y value) would always be positive.


The range for this would be (0,∞)

What are any 9 perfect squares to type in the boxes?
Paul [167]

Answer:

1

4

9

16

25

36

49

64

81

100

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = 1²

4 = 2 x 2 = 2²

9 = 3 x 3 = 3²

16 = 4 x 4 = 4²

25 = 5 x 5 = 5²

36 = 6 x 6 = 6²

49 = 7 x 7 = 7²

64 = 8 x 8 = 8²

81 = 9 x 9 = 9²

100 = 10 x 10 = 10²

Lian is paid for SR 75 per hour. Using p for her pay and h for the hours of work, which function rule represents
Andru [333]

Answer:

The function p = 75h represents  this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation of linear equation in the slope-intercept form is

y = mx+b

where

m = rate of change = slope

b = y-intercept

  • Let 'h' be the number of hours
  • Let 'p' be the pay

Given that Lian is paid SR 75 per hour.

so the rate of change of slope = m = 75

As there is no initial condition, so b = 0

as

y = mx+b

Now, mapping the information data into the slope-intercept form

  • p = y
  • m = 75
  • h = x
  • b = 0

Thus, the equation becomes

p = 75h

Therefore, the function p = 75h represents  this situation.

VERIFICATION:

Given the equation

p = 75h

for h = 1

p = 75(1)

p = 75

Thus, Liam is paid SR 75 per hour.
