There are 21 people in the crew.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of men in the crew = 14

Percent of men = 66\frac{2}{3}=\frac{200}{3}%

Let,

x be the number of people in crew.

According to given statement;

\frac{200}{3}\% \ of\ x=14\\\\\frac{200}{3*100}x=14\\\\\frac{200}{300}x=14

Multiplying both sides by \frac{300}{200}

\frac{300}{200}*\frac{200}{300}x=14*\frac{300}{200}\\x=7*\frac{300}{100}\\x=7*3\\x=21

There are 21 people in the crew.

Identify the asymptotes of y= (1/x) -5
elena55 [62]
\bf y=\cfrac{1}{x}-5\implies y=\cfrac{1-5x}{x}\implies y=\cfrac{-5x+1}{x}

to find the vertical asymptotes, is simply check what makes the denominator to 0 whilst not zeroing out the numerator, clearly is just x = 0, thus that is the vertical asymptote.

now, for the horizontal asymptote, notice, the degree of the numerator is the same degree of the denominator, thus the horizontal asymptote is at at the fraction whose value is from the coefficients of the leading terms,

\bf y=\cfrac{1}{x}-5\implies y=\cfrac{1-5x}{x}\implies y=\cfrac{-5x+1}{x}\stackrel{\stackrel{horizontal}{asymptote}}{\implies }\cfrac{-5}{1}

-5\qquad thus\qquad y=-5

Earl is ordering supplies. Yellow paper costs $4.00 per ream while white paper costs $7.50 per ream. He would like to order 100
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Earl should order 76 yellow paper reams and 24 white paper reams.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be computed as system of equations.

I will say that x is the number of yellow paper reams and that y is the number of white paper reams.

Earl will order 100 reams in total, so

x + y = 100

He has a budget of $484, so this is what he is going to spend. Each yellow paper ream(x) costs $4.00 and each white paper ream costs $7.50, so we know that

4x + 7.5y = 484

To know how many reams of each color should he order, we need to solve the following system of equations

1) x + y = 100

2) 4x + 7.5y = 484

I am going to write x as a function of y in equation 1), and then replace it in equation 2).

x = 100-y

Now replacing in equation 2)

4(100-y) + 7.5y = 484

400 - 4y + 7.5y = 484

3.5y = 84

y = 24.

Returning to equation 1)

x = 100-y = 100-24 = 76

So, Earl should order 76 yellow paper reams and 24 white paper reams.
