Answer:

n = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to write the questions mathematically and then solve

72 = 80% of n

72   = \frac{80}{100} ×  n

72  =  \frac{80 n}{100}

Multiply both-side of the equation by 100

72 × 100 =  \frac{80 n}{100}   ×100

At the right-hand side of the equation, 100 will cancel-out 100, leaving us with just 80 n

7200 = 80 n

Divide both-side of the equation by 80

\frac{7200}{80}  =  \frac{80n}{80}

(On the right-hand side of the equation, 80 will cancel out 80 leaving us with just n while on the left-hand side of the equation 7200 will be divide by 80)

\frac{7200}{80}   =   n

90  =  n

n = 90

Well I'm not sure what the answer would be since I'm not that smart but I did get the answer of 90, I did this by dividing 72 by 80 which equals .9 and I multiplied that by 100 and got 90.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

  A. b(w) = 80w +30

  B. input: weeks; output: flowers that bloomed

  C. 2830

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Part A:</h3>

For f(s) = 2s +30, and s(w) = 40w, the composite function f(s(w)) is ...

  b(w) = f(s(w)) = 2(40w) +30

  b(w) = 80w +30 . . . . . . blooms over w weeks

__

<h3>Part B:</h3>

The input units of f(s) are <em>seeds</em>. The output units are <em>flowers</em>.

The input units of s(w) are <em>weeks</em>. The output units are <em>seeds</em>.

Then the function b(w) above has input units of <em>weeks</em>, and output units of <em>flowers</em> (blooms).

__

<h3>Part C:</h3>

For 35 weeks, the number of flowers that bloomed is ...

  b(35) = 80(35) +30 = 2830 . . . . flowers bloomed over 35 weeks
