Answer:

2.2 Million

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we wish to determine what percentage of the tons of apples are used for apple juice. After 20% is mixed with other products, 80% remains. Half of this is used for apple juice; therefore, 40% of the tons of apples is used for apple juice. To calculate 40% of 5.5 million tons, we find 10% and then multiply by four. 10% = 0.55, and 0.55* 4 = 2.2. Thus, 2.2 million tons are used for apple juice.

Answer:

2.2 million tons

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 5.5 million tons is 1.1 million tons. That is how many are mixed with other products. So that would leave you 4.4 million tons of apples.

50% of 4.4 is 2.2 so 2.2 million tons are used for apple juice.

Answer:

<h3>             C.    y + 7 = -7(x - 3)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is:

                          y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>(x₀, y₀)</em> is the point which the line passes through

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is  -1

so if given lines slope is ¹/₇ them:

     ¹/₇·m = -1

        m = -7

(3, -7)     ⇒    x₀ = 3,  y₀ = -7

Therefore:

               y - (-7) = -7(x - 3)

                <u> </u><u>y + 7 = -7(x - 3) </u>

so the better price is 7.00
