Answer: 90 textbooks


Step-by-step explanation:

everytime you multiply the number of students you multiply the books by the same number. to find how many times 72 was multiplied you divide it by 12.

72 ÷ 12 = 6

then multiply the original number of books (15) by 6.

15 * 6 = 90

so for every 72 students the school orders 90 textbooks

The midpoint of \overline{\text{AB}} AB is M(0, -3)M(0,−3). If the coordinates of AA are (2, -5)(2,−5), what are the coordinates
ICE Princess25 [194]

Using the mid-point concept, it is found that the coordinates of B are (-2, -1).

  • The mid-point of two points is the <u>mean of the coordinates of each point</u>.

In this problem:

  • The points are: A(2, -5) and B(x,y).
  • The mid-point is (0, -3).

Applying the concept for both the x and y-coordinates, we have that:

\frac{x + 2}{2} = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

\frac{-5 + y}{2} = -3

-5 + y = -6

y = -1

The coordinates of B are (-2, -1).

Ralph buys a desk that regularly sells for $250 and a desk chair that regularly sells for $145. both items are on sale at 15% of
Lunna [17]
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.

Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395.  We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85.  We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00.  Altogether this gives us 
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%.  This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.

A point in the figure is selected at random. Find the probability that the point will be in the part that is NOT shaded.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

About 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a point on the un-shaded region will be given by;

Area of the shaded region/total area

Considering that the circles are of the same size, then the length of the square is 2d

Area of the square = 4d²

Area of the shaded = (4d² -4π(d/2)²

                                = 4d² -πd², but π = 22/7

                                = 6/7d²

Probability = (6/7d² ÷ 4d²) × 100%

                  = (6/28 d²) × 100%

                  = 21.42 %

Therefore; the answer is about 20%

10. Mr. Guerrero left his house and drove north at an average speed of 40 mph.Two hours later, his daughter Miranda left the hou
Charra [1.4K]
Speed=distance / time  ⇒ distance=time x speed
distance=d
time=t
speed= s

d=s*t

Distance  traveled by Mr Guerrero, when his daugther left the house
Data:
s=40 miles/ hour
t=2 hours
d=40 miles/ hour * 2 hours=  80 miles

Total distance traveled by Mr Guerrero:
d=80 miles + 40 miles/hourt    ⇒d=80+40t      (1)

d=total distance.
s=speed.
t=time spent by Miranda for she overtook her father.

Distance traveled by Miranda.
data:

s=48 miles/ hour
d=total distance.
t=time spent by Miranda for she overtook her father.

d=48 miles/hour * t      ⇒d=48t       (2)

With the equations (1) and (2), we make an system of equations:

d=80+40t
d=48t

We can solve this system of equation by equalization method.

80+40t=48t
80=48t-40t
80=8t
t=80/8=10

d=48t
d=48*10=480

Answer: the thistance will be 480 miles.
