Answer: There are 60 potatoes in a bucket.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let 't' be the total amount of time, in minutes, taken by the worker to bake pies and peel a bucket of potatoes.

Let 'x' be the number of potatoes in a bucket.

So, total time taken by the worker on Monday can be expressed as:

t = (2*60) + 1.5x

The total time taken on Tuesday is:

t = (2.5*60) + 1x

Since the total time spent by the worker on these two activities on Monday and Tuesday are equal, we can equate the two equations and rewrite them as follows:

(2.5*60) + 1x = (2*60) + 1.5x

150 + 1x = 120 + 1.5x

150 - 120 = 1.5x - 1x

30 = 0.5x

30 = 0.5x

x = 60

Answer:

60 potatoes.

Explanation:

It is a simple mathematical question in which we find the value of x(potatoes) by equating two scenarios and then finding the value.

The calculations are as follows:

1st scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Monday = (2*60) + 1.5x

2nd scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Tuesday = (2.5*60) + 1x

Now writing these equations as below:

(2*60) + 1.5x = (2.5*60) + 1x

120 + 1.5x = 150 + 1x

1.5x - 1x = 150-120

0.5x=30

x=30/0.5

x=60.

vichka [17]

Answer:

A company purchases inventory on credit.

Explanation:

Current liabilities are those that have to be settled within the fiscal year. The statement above does not specify if the credit has to be paid within the fiscal year, but most likely it has to, because inventories do not usually represent a long-term debt.

So under this sceneario, purchasing inventory on credit would represent an increase in the current liabilities of the firm.
