Answer:
The concession stands needs to sell 14 or more bags.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost per bag of popcorn = $2.50
Number of bags already sold = 30
Cost of 30 bags = 30*2.50 = $75
Bags needs to be sold to make $110 = x
2.50x + 75 ≥ 110
2.50x ≥ 110-75
2.50x ≥ 35
Dividing both sides by 2.50
Hence,
The concession stands needs to sell 14 or more bags.
17 ½ % of 240
First option
Change the fraction ½
to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)
½=0.5
You will add the whole number 17 to the result.
17 + 05 = 17.5
Now you will divide by 100 (percent)
17.5 /100 To divide a
decimal by 100, move the decimal point two
places to the left.
17.5 /100 = 0.175 times 240
0.175 x 240 = 42
Second option
Change the percent to an improper fraction
17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35
over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2. Put the other number (240) over 100 and
multiply.
35/2 x 240/100 = 42
There is another way . You can simplify
Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

Answer:
n = 1.125
Step-by-step explanation:
(Use Cross Product)
40n = 15 × 3
40n = 45
n = 1.125
Since:
ax(2x + y - 5) = 6x^2 +3xy - 15x,
we should factor X out of the second equation to find out the value of a:
6x^2 + 3xy - 15x =
x(6x + 3y - 15),
Now that we factored X out, to find a, we need to find the other common factor:
(6x + 3y - 15) / (2x + y - 5),
which is 3.
Hence the value of a is 3
