Answer:

It is always important to go through the given problem first to get a concept of the requiremement. Then all the information's available from the question has to be noted down in such a manner that there would be no need to look at the question while solving.

Total number of students wearing jeans = 10

Total number of students wearing shorts = 9

Total number of students wearing capris = 2

Then the total number of students surveyed by Mrs Lane = (10 + 9 + 2)

                                                                                           = 21

Now percentage of students wearing shorts = (9/21) * 100

                                                                      = (3/7) * 100

                                                                      = 300/7

                                                                      = 42.85 percent

So a total percentage of 42.85% of the students were wearing shorts.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

P = 1039.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The initial amount deposited, Po = 500

- The interest rate applied, I = 5% compounded annually

Find:-

- The amount on her bank statement after 15 years?

Solution:-

- We see that the principal amount increases every year and no transactions have been made in the course of 15 years.

The total amount left in her savings account would be given by the following formula:

                         P = Po * ( 1 + I/100 )^n

- Where, n = number of years passed since deposit. (15 years)

                        P = 500 * ( 1 + 5/100 )^15

                        P = 500 * (1.05)^15

                        P = 1039.5

The total cost (in dollars) for a company to manufacture and sell x items per week is C = 40 x + 640 , whereas the revenue broug
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of a given task, therefore:

\text{profit} = R - C\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - (40*x + 640)\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - 40*x - 640\\\text{profit} = - 0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640

To have a profit of 200, we need to sell:

-0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640 = 200\\-0.2*x^2 + 26*x -840 = 0\text{ } *\frac{-1}{0.2}\\x^2 -130 + -4200 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-130) \pm \sqrt{(-130)^2 - 4*1*(-4200)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{16900 + 16800}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{100}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm 10}{2}\\x_{1} = \frac{130 + 10}{2} = \frac{140}{2} = 70\\ x_{2} = \frac{130 - 10}{2} = \frac{120}{2}  = 60

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

Han and Tyler are following a polenta recipe that uses 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 cups of cornmeal=2 cups of water. Using 115 cups of cormeal would mean you need 287.5  cups of water, not 3.

3 is too little

2: If you use 5 cups of water for every 3 cups of cornmeal, for 3 cups of cornmeal you'd need like 6.5 cups of water, not that high of a number.
