68 miles to 42.5's percent of decrease is: 37.5%
Using proportions. 68 miles - 42.5 = 25.5
25.5 x
------ = -----
68 100
Cross multiply:
25.5 x 100 = 2550
68 multiply x = 68x
2550 divided by 68 = 37.5
x = 37.5%
Plug in - 5 where X is.
f(- 5) = (- 5)^2 - ( - 5).
(- 5)( - 5) = 25 so now we have 25 - (- 5). Because there are two negatives back to back, the number becomes a positive so the equation becomes 25 + 5 = 30.
f(- 5) = 30.
There are 12 possible outcomes.....three of these will be a "7" ...so...
A "7" should occur 1/4 of the time
If each player pays 20p to play.....the school will take in 120 * 20 = 2400p
However.......1/4 of the players should win = 30 players.....and each lollipop costs 30p.....so......the school should spend 30 * 30 = 900p for the prizes
So......the school should raise 2400 - 900 = 1500p if 120 people play the game
Answer: 12 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
the data we have is:
Mei Su had 80 coins.
She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:
The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:
friend 1 got 1 coin
friend 2 got 2 coins
friend 3 got 3 coins
friend N got N coins
in such a way that:
(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79
I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.
We want to find the maximum possible N.
Then let's calculate:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
now we are close, lets add by one number:
55 + 11 = 66
66 + 12 = 78
now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.
Then we have N = 12
This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.
