Answer:

300 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent this question in the following equation, wherein x represents the cost, per person, and y represents the total amount of people:

3x=18.45

1850/x=y

We can find exactly how much he'd be paying for 1 person by dividing $18.45, the cost for 3 people, by 3, the amount of people.

18.45/3=6.15

Now we know that barbecue lunch costs $6.15 per person. We can plug our x, 6.15, into the second equation.

1850/6.15=300.81300813

Well, we can't exactly have a fraction (.81300813) of a person, so we'll have to make a small correction. We'll round down to the nearest whole number.

y=300

With that, we can conclude that Mr. Gaines can feed 300 people, whose meals cost $6.15 each, and by the end he'll still have $5 to spare!

Rose and Andrew are financing 128,000 to purchase a condominium. They obtained a 15 year fixed rate loan with a rate of 5.05%. T
anzhelika [568]

Amount Financed(P) = $ 128,000

Time = 15 year

Rate of interest= 5.05%

Amount after 15 years translates to,

{\text{Using the formula}} P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n\\\\ 128,000(1 +\frac{5.05}{100})^{15}\\\\ =128,000 \times (1.0505)^{15}\\\\=128,000 \times 2.0938\\\\=268,009.890

Rose and Andrew has taken four points to lower their rate to 4.81% .

   Amount after 15 years translates to, if rate of interest is 4.83 %

{\text{Using the formula}} P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n\\\\ 128,000(1 +\frac{4.83}{100})^{15}\\\\ =128,000 \times (1.0483)^{15}\\\\=128,000 \times 2.0290\\\\=259713.0404

Cost of four points = 268,009.890 - 259,713.0404

                = $8296.8496

1. (02.01 MC) Celine has a bottle that contains 20% milk and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. Part A: Write an e
krok68 [10]

Answer:

A. Total number of liters = 1.25 liters

B. Milk = 0.25 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total number of liters ( milk + water )

Milk = 20% of x

= 0.2x

Water = 1 liter

Total number of liters = milk + water

x = 0.2x + 1

x - 0.2x = 1

0.8x = 1

Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 1 / 0.8

= 1.25

x = 1.25 liters

Total number of liters = 1.25 liters

B.

Liters of milk in the bottle = Total number of liters - liters of water

= 1.25 liters - 1 liter

= 0.25 liter

Milk = 0.25 liters

An oil tank has to be drained for maintenance. The tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 3ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft . S
Contact [7]

4 minutes 34 seconds will takes to empty the tank, if the starts completely full and oil drained at a rate of 2.5 ft^{3} per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

              The given is,

                         Tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 3 ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft.

                          Oil drained at a rate of 2.5 ft^{3} per minute.

Step:1

       Time taken to dry the oil tank is,

                           T   = \frac{Volume of oil}{Oil drain rate}  ....................................(1)

Step:2

      Volume of the oil is,

                           V = \pi  r^{2} h.................................................(2)

      Where, r - Radius of Cylinder

                             r = \frac{d}{2}

                             r = \frac{2.2}{2}

                             r = 1.1 ft

      From eqn (1),

                        V =  \pi × 1.1^{2} × 3

                           = 11.40398 ft^{3}

Step:3

     From equation (1)

                           = \frac{11.40398}{2.5}

                           = 4.56

                           = 4.56 minutes

                      T  = 4 minutes 34 seconds

Result:

      Time taken to dry the oil tank is 4 minutes 34 seconds, if a cylinder is 3 ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft and oil is drained at a rate of 2.5ft^3 per minute.
