Katy buys ‘x’ cakes.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago

Answers:
Katy bought 12 cakes
Gugu bought 36 cakes
Deanna bought 14 cakes

Explanation:
We are given that:
Katy bought x cakes 
Gugu bought 3 times as many as Katy. This means that Gugu bought 3x cakes
Deanna bought 2 cakes more than Katy. This means that Deanna bought x+2 cakes

Total number of cakes bought = x + 3x + x + 2 = 5x + 2 cakes

We know that the price of each cake is 85 p = £0.85 and that the total amount paid is <span>£52.7
This means that:
(5x+2)(0.85) = 52.7
4.25x + 1.7 = 52.7
4.25x = 52.7 - 1.7
4.25x = 51
x = 51 / 4.25
x = 12

Now, we will get the number of cakes that each bought as follows:
Katy bought x cakes = 12 cakes
Gugu bought 3x cakes = 3(12) = 36 cakes
Deanna bought x+2 cakes = 12 + 2 = 14 cakes

Hope this helps :)</span>

The right isosceles triangle PQR has vertices P(3, 3), Q(3, 1 and R(x, y) and is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the o
nydimaria [60]
Since the triangle is isosceles, the two legs have equal length. The coordinates of two vertices are given
P(3,3)
Q(3,1)
Assuming that PQ and QR are the legs of equal length, the distance between Q and R must be the same as the distance between P and Q
d = √[(3-3)² + (3-1)²
d = 2
Therefore, the coordinates of P is

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 22x = 10

Next step is to complete the square on the left hand side of the equation and it would be balanced by adding the same number to the right side of the equation. It becomes

x^2 - 22x + (22/2)^2 = 10 + (22/2)^2

x^2 - 22x + (11)^2 = 10 + (11)^2

x^2 - 22x + (11)^2 = 10 + 121

x^2 - 22x + (11)^2 = 131

x^2 - 22x + 121^2 = 131

(x - 11)^2 = 131

Taking square root of both the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x - 11 = ±√131

x - 11 = ±11.45

Adding 11 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x - 11 + 11 = ±11.45 + 11

x = 11.45 + 11 or x = -11.45 + 11

x = 22.45 or x = - 0.45

Sales fall from 300 per week to 270 per week what’s the percentage change
weeeeeb [17]
Hi there! 

Your question: 

Sales fall from 300 per week to 270 per week what's the percentage change?

My answer:

The formula for calculating percent change is as follows: 

[(y2 - y1)/y1]*100=your percent change 

y2= first value 
y1=second value 

Plug the numbers in: 

[(300-270)/300]*100

[30/300]*100

0.1*100

10 

Therefore, the percent change is 10%

Hope this helps! Let me know if it's incorrect so I can fix it:)
