Last year, a certain company began producing soup A and sold all of the soup A that it produced. To make all of the soup A produ

ced last year, raw ingredients were cooked until their weight was 30% less than their original weight, then a total of 28 kilograms of herbs and spices were added just before soup A was packaged in cans. Did the company sell more than 4,800 cans of soup A last year?

Answer:

No, they didn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you consider that the 30% of the ingredients were the 28 kilograms of herbs and spices they added after cooking raw ingredients and before packing the soup in cans, then, the raw ingredients represent 70% of the total weight, so:

30% ---- 28 kg (herbs and spices)

70% ---- x= 70*28/30= 65,33 kg (raw ingredients)

So the total weight of soup produced and sold were: 28 kg + 65,33 kg = 93,33 kg

We can consider that a can of soup is 10 ounces = 0,28 kg Aprox.

If 0,28 kg = 1 can of soup,

then 93,33 kg = 333,32 cans of soup (= 93,33 kg/0,28 kg)

So they didn't sell more than 4800 cans of soup A last year.

A company invests $15,000.00 in an account that compounds interest annually. After two years, the account is worth $16,099.44. U
ANEK [815]
Principal = $15000
Amount = $16099.44
Rat of interest = r
Time = 2 years
Then
A = P(1 + r)^t
16099.44 = 15000 (1 + r)^2
(1 + r)^2 = 1.073
(1 + r)^2 = (1.036)^2
Then
1 + r = 1.036
r = 1.036 - 1
  = 0.036
  = 0.036/100
  = 3.6%
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option.

Help please with question 5-8, show the solution
ludmilkaskok [199]

For each of these problems, remember SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = opposite/hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite/adjacent

5) Here we are looking for the cosine of the 30 degree angle. Cosine uses the adjacent side to the angle over the hypotenuse. Therefore, cos(30) = 43/50.

6) We have an unknown side length, of which is adjacent to 22 degrees, and the length of the hypotenuse. Since we know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we should use Cosine. Therefore, our equation to find the missing side length is cos(22) = x / 15.

7) When finding an angle, we always use the inverse of the trigonometry function we originally used. Therefore, if sin(A) = 12/15, then the inverse of that would be sin^-1 (12/15) = A.

8) We are again using an inverse trigonometry function here. We know the hypotenuse, as well as the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore, we should use the inverse cosine function. Using the inverse cosine function gives us cos^-1 (9/13) = 46 degrees.

Hope this helps!
