3.9 * 5.3 ≈  4 * 5

≈20

Well after doing your multiplication, you can place your decimal point by knowing that from estimation the answer is around 20.

So you can place your decimal point after the first two digits from the left.

The length of the sides of a triangle are x, 2x+2, and 13. If the perimeter of the triangle is 30, what is the value of x?
scZoUnD [109]

Add all the sides up to equal 30 in an equation because you are given the perimeter. The perimeter is the length around a two dimensional shape. This means the perimeter is the length of all the side lengths added together.

(x) + (2x + 2) + (13) = 30

Combine like terms.

3x + 15 = 30

Subtract 15 from both sides.

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

\boxed {x = 5}

Maximizing profit, is a way of getting the highest possible profit, from a function.

The bakery should make 45 loaves of A and 0 loaves of B, to maximize profit

To do this, we make use of the following representations.

x represents source A, and y represents source B

So, we have:

<u>Constraint 1: </u>

A uses 5 pounds, and B uses 2 pounds of oats.

Available: 180

The above condition is represented as;

\mathbf{5x + 2y \le 180}

<u>Constraint 2: </u>

A and B use 3 pounds of flour each.

Available: 135

The above condition is represented as;

\mathbf{3x + 3y \le 135}

<u>Objective function</u>

A yields $40, while B yields $30

So, the objective function is:

\mathbf{Maximize\ Z = 40x + 30y}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Maximize\ Z = 40x + 30y}

Subject to

\mathbf{5x + 2y \le 180}

\mathbf{3x + 3y \le 135}

\mathbf{x,y \ge 0}

See attachment for the graph of the subjects

From the graph, we have the corner points to be:

\mathbf{(x,y) = \{(0,45),(30,15),(45,0)\}}

Substitute these values in the objective function

\mathbf{Z = 40(0) +30(45) = 1350}

\mathbf{Z = 40(30) +30(15) = 1650}

\mathbf{Z = 40(45) +30(0) = 1800}

The maximum value of Z is at: (45,0)

This means that: the bakery should make 45 loaves of A and 0 loaves of B, to maximize profit

Dimtry bought a pair of pants at the discounted price of $30. The original price of the pants was $40. What was the percent of t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:

40 - x% * 40 = 30

The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.

Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:

x%*40 = 10

Divide by 40:

x% = 1/4 = 0.25

Multiply each side by 100:

x = 25

The answer is 25%.
