from 20 to 36 is  a difference of 16.

now, if we take 20 to be the 100%, what is 16 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 20&100\\ 16&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{20}{16}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 20x=1600 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1600}{20}\implies x=80

(new -original)/original * 100

(36-20)/20 * 100

16/20 * 100

Bakery has bought 250 pounds of muffin dough. They want to make waffles or muffins in half-dozen packs out of it. Half a dozen o
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1

If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function

P = 2a + 1.5b

subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.

Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.

You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.

The bases in a major league diamond are locate at the corners of a 900 yd^2 square as pictures below. a player throws a baseball
Licemer1 [7]
To answer this, you will use the area of 900 square yards to determine the distances between the bases.  Each side of the square is 30 yards, so it will be 30 yards from 1st to home and from 1st to 2nd.  

The distance from home to 2nd is a diagonal in the square (the hypotenuse).

You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this distance.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
30^2 + 30 ^2 = c^2
900 + 900 + c^2
1800 = c^2

The square root of 1800 is approximately 42.4 yards.

The ball travels approximately 42.4 yards.
