Answer:880

Step-by-step explanation: They need to cover expense of $13200. If printing fee is $25 and they sell the books for $40 each, then that means when selling a book they cover expense of printing plus they earn $15 per book.

So if they earn $15 per book that means they have to sell 13200/15=880 books to break even.

If you want to solve this by using equation the this would look like this:

expenses: $13200 + $25x where x is number of books sold

earnings: $40x

Equation:

13200+25x=40x

13200=15x

x=880

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Mean is 83.7%

And, the standard deviation is 0.033

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the mean and the standard deviation is as follows:

Let us assume the P be the sample proportion

Mean is 83.7%

And, the standard deviation is

= \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\\\=\sqrt{\frac{0.837(1-0.837)}{125} }

= 0.033

The equation y = 1/5x represents a proportional relationship. Explain how you can tell the relationship is proportional from the
andre [41]
If a graph is proportional then the line will go through the origin at point (0, 0). If the equation is proportional then it will be in the form of y=kx with no other operations after. The constant of proportionality is another way to say the slope and in your specific equation the slope would be 1/5.

Nora had already read 30% of the book before her teacher assigned it to the class. She is choosing between two options to finish
guapka [62]

Answer:

Let p represent the # of pages in the book.  Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.

If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night.  If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.

How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night?  Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."

If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:

First night:  28%

Second night:  28%  

Third night:  28%

 Total:  3(28%) = 84%

This leaves 16% to read on the final night.

This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.

The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.

Uzanne can work 10 math problems in 15 minutes. How many can she work in an hour and a half?
jeyben [28]
1 and half hour
= 60 minutes+ 30 minutes
= 90 minutes

Now,

Uzanne need 15 minutes to do 10 problems
Uzanne need 1 minute to complete 10/15 problems

Uzanne need 90 minutes to do
= (10/15)*90
=(2/3)*90
=2*30
=60 problems

Calculus. Find the area.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

8/3 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, visualize the area. You can refer to the attachment below.

To find the area then, we will integrate y from x = 0 to x = 2. Therefore:

\displaystyle A=\int_0^2x^2\, dx

Integrate:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{3}x^3\Big|_{0}^2

Evaluate:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{3}[2^3-0^3]=\frac{1}{3}(8)=\frac{8}{3}

The area is 8/3 square units.
