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.

If a number minus 3 is at most 12, or 1 more than 2 times the number is at least 25, then the number must be less than or equal
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that x is the required number.

Now, given that the number minus 3 is at most 12.

Hence, x - 3 ≤ 12

⇒ x ≤ 15 ......... (1)

And also given that 1 more than 2 times the number is at least 25.

Hence, 2x + 1 ≥ 25

⇒ 2x ≥ 24

⇒ x ≥ 12 .......... (2)

Therefore, from equations (1) and (2) we get the number must be greater than or equal to 12 or less than or equal to 15.

So, the statement is true. (Answer)
