Answer: There are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students eat in the cafeteria = 120

Fraction dislike lime beans = \dfrac{2}{3}

Fraction who dislike lime beans and brussles sprouts both = \dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{3}{5}

Fraction who dislikes lime beans but not brussles is given by

\dfrac{2}{3}(1-\dfrac{3}{5})\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{15}

So, Number of students who like brussels sprouts but dislike lima beans is given by

\dfrac{4}{15}\times 120\\\\=32

Hence, there are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

Alex777 [14]
Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.

Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.

What is the sum of the first 100 terms of the sequence 4,9,14,19, ...?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

25150

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to see that this is an arithmetic sequence... since to get the next element we add 5 to it.  (a geometric sequence would be a multiplication, not an addition)

So, we have a, the first term (a = 4), and we have the difference between each term (d = 5), and we want to find the SUM of the first 100 terms.

To do this without spending hours writing them down, we can use this formula:

S = \frac{n}{2} * (2a + (n - 1) * d)

If we plug in our values, we have:

S = \frac{100}{2} * (2 * 4 + (100 - 1) * 5) = 50 * (8 + 99 * 5)

S = 50 * (8 + 495) = 50 * 503 = 25150
