Answer:

  • 490 pens
  • 510 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pens Nick sold. Then the revenue is ...

  0.10p +0.05(1000 -p) = 74.50

  0.05p = 24.50 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 50

  p = 490 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20

The number of pencils sold is then ...

  pencils = 1000 -490 = 510

Nick's Printing Press sold 490 pens and 510 pencils.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Total length of the first swing=64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;

Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing

where;

Total length of all 4 swings=175 m

Length of first swing=x

Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x

Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing

Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x

Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing

Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x

replacing;

Total length of all 4 swings

175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x

2.734375 x=175

x=175/2.734375

x=64

Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
