Mrs. Beach bought shells at a gift shop. The red shells (r) were $0.75 each, and the white shells (w) were $0.49 each. The total

cost was $4.70 for 8 shells. Later, the clerk forgot how many of each color shell he sold, so he guessed 4 red and 4 white shells. That was 8 shells, but the cost was $4.96. What advice would you give the clerk for his next guess?

Answer: The cost was too high. Since red shells cost more than white shells, the clerk’s next guess should be fewer red shells and more white shells. I would guess 3 red shells and 5 white shells.

3 red shells equals $2.25 and 5 white shells equal 2.45. Add those together and you get $4.70.
So 3 red and 5 white shells would be the next guess.

The manager of a fashionable restaurant open Wednesday through Saturday says that the restaurant does about 29 percent of its bu
RideAnS [48]

Answer: The seasonal relatives is calculated are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

restaurant only open from Wednesday to Saturday,

  • 29 percent of its business on Friday
  • 31 percent on Saturday night
  • 21 percent on Thursday night.

∴ The remaining 19% of its business he does on Wednesday

Now, suppose that total production of sales in a given week be 'y'

So, average sales in a week = \frac{y}{4}

If we assume that y = 1

hence, average sales in a week = \frac{1}{4}

= 0.25

Now, we have to calculate the seasonal relatives,

that is,

=  \frac{Sales in a given day}{average sales in a week}

Wednesday:

= \frac{0.19}{0.25}

= 0.76

Thursday:

= \frac{0.21}{0.25}

= 0.84

Friday:

= \frac{0.29}{0.25}

= 1.16

Saturday:

= \frac{0.31}{0.25}

= 1.24

Free_Kalibri [48]
17.5

This is because if you do the math: (7/40)*100 you get 17.5!

So divide 7 by 40 and then multiply it by 100!

7/40=0.175
0.175*100=17.5
