Answer:

She must buy 50 pounds of the other candy in order to have a mix that costs $1 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her goal is to have a candy mix that has a cost of $ 1.00 per pound, therefore the relation \frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total weigh}} must be equal to 1. She already bought a total of 50 pounds of a $1.2 per pound candy, therefore she spent:

\text{spent first candy} = 50*1.2 = 60

She wants to buy "x" of a 80 cents per pound candy, therefore if we sum it's weigh "x" with 50 pounds, then it must be equal to it's value summed with 60. We have:

50 + x = 60 + 0.8*x\\x - 0.8*x = 60 - 50\\0.2*x = 10\\x = \frac{10}{0.2} = 50\\

She must buy 50 pounds of the other candy in order to have a mix that costs $1 per pound.

This is a polygon and I need help finding the missing angle ?
allsm [11]
First, you need to know that the total (degrees) of the interior angles is 360 because this is a quadrilateral.

The unnumbered angle is 109 degrees. We know this because the angle labeled 71 degrees and the unnumbered angle are supplementary. So you subtract 180 from 71 to get 109. 
180-71=109

To solve for x, we need to realize the other numbers playing into the angles' values. To make solving this easier, I'm gonna assign letters to the angles. 

(10x+6) is angle A. 

(13x-2) is angle B. 

(8x-1) is angle C.

and 109 (the one we solved) is angle D. 

We know that the total of the interior angles is 360, so we can add the 2 from angle B and the 1 from angle C to 360. This is because these numbers are subtracted from the other values. 
360+2+1=363

Now, we have to subtract the 6 from angle A from 363, because the 6 is added to the other values. 
363-6=357

Now we have to subtract 109 from 357 because you want to get the x's by themselves. Since you're solving for x. 
357-109=248

That leaves you with 248. Now you add all the x's up to get the total number of x's. You have 10x from angle A, 13x from angle B, and 8x from angle C. 
10x+13x+8x=31x

You get 31x. To get what x is, you divide 248 by 31. 
\frac{248}{31} =8

That equals 8. So now that you know that x equals 8, if you need to find the values of the angles, you just plug in the numbers into the formulas. 

(10(8))+6= 86
(13(8))-2=102
(8(8))-1=63
109

Check your work by plugging your answers in and seeing if they add up to 360. 
86+102+63+109=360

Which they should:)

So...
angle A= 86
angle B=102
angle C=63
angle D=109

and x=8



Hope this helped!!!

Sonja [21]

Answer:

C. 9x + 224.36 ≥ 759.84

Step-by-step explanation:

If each team member raises x dollars, the 9 team members will have raised 9x dollars. That amount added to the amount they already have must equal or exceed the amount required:

9x + 224.36 ≥ 759.84 . . . . matches selection C

What sign of a null hypothesis must always include?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Option d - Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : What sign of a null hypothesis must always include?

Solution :

The Null hypothesis is defined as a statement about the population that either is believed to be true or is used to put forth an argument unless it can be shown to be incorrect beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Null hypothesis represent by H_o

H_o always has a symbol with an equal in it.

Therefore, Option d is correct.

Equality sign of a null hypothesis must always include.
