A food service in the mall prepares free samples of chicken to give out during dinner time. One hour later, the food service has

The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.

So lets write it as an equation

80 = (70% of x) -4

70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7

80 = 0.7x-4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation

84 = 0.7x

Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x

x = 120

The food service prepared 120 samples.

Joshua sells a pack of pens for $3.15, which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. Which equation will help find x, the amoun
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution

Let

x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen

5% of x more than he paid for them

=0.05x more

Buying price=0.05x + x

Selling price=3.15

Equate buying and selling price

0.05x + x = 3.15

1.05x=3.15

Divide both sides by 1.05

1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05

x=3

The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15

The answer is:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

f(g(x))= x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(x))= (x-4)+2      -plug g(x) into the place of x in the f(x) function

f(g(x))= x-4+2        -parentheses aren't needed

f(g(x))=x-2             -combine like terms

Find the area enclosed by y=3, the x-axis and ordinates x=0 and x=4 ​
anygoal [31]

Answer:

A=6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area is enclosed by x(0,4) and y(3)

That means the area is a triangle

h(height) =3 b=4 c**2=a**2+b**2 c=5

The area of an equlateral triangle is A=h*b/2

A=3*4/2=12/2
