Answer:

12 Small, 16 Large

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do the math of getting 16 large candles and 12 small candles with respects to the price. You get the math of:

(6×16) + (4×12)

96 + 48

144

16 and 12 will make 28 which proves to be correct as 28 candles were sold

There is a simple algebraic solution to this; a system of equations!

x = small candles and y = large candles

4x + 6y = 144
x + y = 28

Now there are two ways to solve this; substitution and elimination.

Let’s use substitution for practice with the distributive property...

4x + 6y = 144
y = -x + 28

Put the second equation into the first...

4x + 6(-x + 28) = 144
4x - 6x + 168 = 144
-2x + 168 = 144
-2x = -24
x = 12

Plug this into one of the original equations....

12 + y = 28
y = 16

And there you have it! You sold 12 small candles and 16 large candles.

Triangle ABC is dilated to produce triangle A'B'C' with scale factor 3/4. which describes the relationship between the two trian
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

ΔA'B'C' is a reduction of ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' is similar to ΔABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the triangle ABC is dilated to produce triangle A'B'C' with scale factor 3/4.

If a figure is dilated then preimage and image are similar.

If scale factor is between 0 to 1, then preimage is reduction of image.

If scale factor is more that 1, then preimage is enlargement of image.

If scale factor is 1, then preimage is congruent to the image.

We know that

\frac{3}{4}=0.75

So,

0

Therefore, the ΔA'B'C' is a reduction of ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' is similar to ΔABC.

The height of a cone is equal to the diameter of the base. What expression represents the volume of the cone, in cubic units?
Maurinko [17]
By definition, the volume of a cone is given by:
 V = (1/3) * (\pi) * (r ^ 2) * (h)

 Where,
 r: radius of the circular base
 h: height of the cone
 Let's define a variable:
 x: diameter of the base
 We have then that the radio is:
 r = x / 2

 The height is:
 h = x

 Substituting values:
 V = (1/3) * (\pi) * ((x / 2) ^ 2) * (x)

 Rewriting:
 V = (1/3) * (\pi) * (x ^ 2/4) * (x)

V = (1/12) * (\pi) * (x ^ 3)
 Answer:
 
An expression that represents the volume of the cone, in cubic units is:
 
V = (1/12) * (\pi) * (x ^ 3)

6.81 is what percent of 45.5
frosja888 [35]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 45.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 45.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.5=100%.

4. We know, that x is 6.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.81%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 45.5=100%

2) x=6.81%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

45.5/x=100%/6.81%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.


7. Solution for what is 6.81% of 45.5


45.5/x=100/6.81

(45.5/x)*x=(100/6.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

45.5=14.684287812041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.684287812041) to get x

45.5/14.684287812041=x

3.09855=x

x=3.09855

now we have:

6.81% of 45.5=3.09855

Hope this helps!
