Omas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola

that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy. Which is the first error that Tomas made?

Answer:

The answer is "Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question the equation is missing which can be defined as follows:

Missing equation:

\to 2x+6y=12

When x=3

\to 2(3)+6y=12\\\\\to 6+6y=12\\

In the above equation if we add 6, by this the equation doesn't affect:

\to 6+6y + 6=12 +6\\\\\to 12 +6y= 18\\\\\to 6y=18-12\\\\\to 6y= 6\\\\\to y= \frac{6}{6}\\\\\to y=1

Nostrana [21]
Hello! So, the toy company makes blocks that cost $5 to make. Then, they mark it up by 300%, which is marking the price up by 4. 100% markup is doubling the price, 200% is tripling the price, and 300% marks the price up by 4. Then, the blocks would cost $20. After that, the price would be marked up by 150%, so that’s 2.5 times the price of the original. When you do $20 by 2.5, then the blocks cost $50. The local toy store will mark the block up by 200%, which as said before, is tripling the price. Then, you do 50 * 3, and then the price of the blocks is $150. Then, it gets marked off by 30% and 10% of 150 is 15, so 30% off 150 is 45. When you do 150 - 45, the difference is $105. Then, you take off an additional 15%, But you would still have to pay 85% of the original price. You would do 105 * 0.85, and then you would get $89.25 for the blocks. But that’s not all. You have to pay 8% sales tax for the blocks. You can find the tax by doing 89.25 * 0.08 and then adding the prices together. Or, you can do 89.25 * 1.08 to find the total price. Either way, the product should be 96.39. The total price you paid for the blocks is $96.39.

How do you find a volume of a cone?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

  V = (1/3)πr²h

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height.

  Cylinder Volume = πr²h

  Cone Volume = (1/3)πr²h

where r is the radius (of the base), and h is the height perpendicular to the circular base.

_____

<em>Comment on area and volume in general</em>

You will note the presence of the factor πr² in these formulas. This is the area of the circular base of the object. That is, the volume is the product of the area of the base and the height. In general terms, ...

  V = Bh . . . . . for an object with congruent parallel "bases"

  V = (1/3)Bh . . . . . for a pointed object with base area B.

This is the case for any cylinder or prism, even if the parallel bases are not aligned with each other. (That is, it works for oblique prisms, too.)

Note that the cone, a pointed version of a cylinder, has 1/3 the volume. This is true also of any pointed objects in which the horizontal dimensions are proportional to the vertical dimensions*. (That is, this formula (1/3Bh), works for any right- or oblique pyramid-like object.)

__

* in this discussion, we have assumed the base is in a horizontal plane, and the height is measured vertically from that plane. Of course, any orientation is possible.
