Mathematics

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to find the number is work backwards. If you know the final answer is 10, start with 10 and make the number x. Then set up the original equation.

0.5x-25=10

Then start working backwards(isolate).

0.5x-25=10

      +25  +25

in other words, 10+25=0.5x. (the 25 cancels out because -25+25=0)

10+25=35, so 35=0.5x.

Now, instead of dividing by 2, multiply by 2(opposite again).

35=0.5x

/0.5(aka *2)     /0.5(cancels out)

now you are left with 70=x, so the number is 70.

A total of 300 trees will be planted in a park, for every two pine trees there will be 3 maple trees what is the number of pine
masha68 [24]
<h2>There are 120 pine trees and 180 maple trees.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of trees = 300

Given that for every two pine trees there will be 3 maple trees.

Let 2t be the total number of pine trees.

Then total number of maple trees is 3t.

Total number of trees = 2 t + 3 t  = 5 t

That is

              5t = 300

                 t = 60

Total number of pine trees = 2t = 2 x 60 = 120

Total number of maple trees = 3t = 3 x 60 = 180

There are 120 pine trees and 180 maple trees.

Ber [7]

Since there are 5 choices and there are 10 possible digits for each digit of the PIN( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

The total value possible 5 pins are 10⁵ = 100000

Using permutation, since 5 numbers are selected without repetition:

\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}=\frac{10!}{(10-5)!}=30240

The probability that no numbers are repeated is= 30240/ 100000

≈ 0.302
