Answer:

Option b. 151

Step-by-step explanation:

A raincoat costs $79.25 today. If a similar raincoat cost $52.48 in 1983 then we have to calculate the the CPI in 1983.

Since formula to calculate CPI will be

CPI = (Price of raincoat today/Price of raincoat in 1983)×100

CPI = 79.25×100/52.48 = 151

Therefore option b. CPI = 151 is the answer.

B. You divide 79.25/52.48 and get 1.51, which translates to 151 percent.

A northbound bus and a southbound bus are at a bus stop at the same time. The northbound bus returns to the bus stop every 20 mi
gulaghasi [49]

The question is essentially asking for the least common multiple of 20 and 25. There are several ways you can find the LCM. One easy way is to divide the product by the GCD (greatest common divisor).

GCD(20, 25) = 5 . . . . . see below for a way to find this, if you don't already know

LCM(20, 25) = 20×25/GCD(20, 25)

... = 500/5 = 100

The buses will be there together again after ...

... B. 100 minutes

_____

You can also look at the factors of the numbers:

... 20 = 2²×5

... 25 = 5²

The least common multiple must have factors that include all of these*, so must be ...

... 2²×5² = 100

___

* you can describe the LCM as the product of the unique factors to their highest powers. 20 has 2 raised to the 2nd power. 25 has 5 raised to the 2nd power, which is a higher power of 5 than is present in the factorization of 20. Hence the LCM must have 2² and 5² as factors.

_____

You can also look at the factorization of 20 and 25 to see that 5 is the only factor they have in common. That is the GCD, sometimes called the GCF (greatest common factor).

Equal number at each price?
does that mean there were an equal number of 4 dollar as 5 dollar tickets?

alrighty

so 4+5=9

450/9=50

50 four dollar tickets

A solid pyramid of height 40 cm with a square base of sides 30 cm each is put into a tank of sides 40 cm each. the tank is then
viktelen [127]
So you have to find the volume of the tank, and the volume of the pyramid. Then subtract the volume of the pyramid from that out of the tank. The formula for pyramid is v = lwh/3. For the tank (which is a cube in this case) It's any given side cubed.

40*30*30 = 3600/3=1200cm cubed
40^3 = 6400cm cubed

6400-1200=5200cm^3 of water

(If you don't get this answer then I may have made a calculation error as I did this quickly in my head, just check my answer and yours to see)
