Answer:

41 cookies in the box are not sugar cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find what percentage of the total cookies aren't sugar cookies. If 18% are, then the amount that aren't is:

100% - 18% = 82%

Since 82% of the cookies aren't sugar cookies, multiply 82% by 50 to find the amount of cookies that aren't sugar cookies:

50 * 82% = 41

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first work out how many of the total cookies are 1%. To calculate this, divide the total by 100

50 ÷ 100 = 0.5 (1% of the cookies is 1/2 a cookie)

As 18% of these cookies are sugar cookies, multiply the 1% by 18

0.5 x 18 = 9 (9 of the cookies are sugar cookies)

To work out how many are NOT sugar cookies, subtract the sugar cookies from the total

50 - 9 = 41

∴41 of the cookies were NOT sugar cookies

I hope this helped :-)

3x-7=4x+10 show the steps pleeease

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-7=4x+10

Add 7 to both sides & simplify

3x-7=4x+10

+7 +7

3x=4x+17

Subtract 4x from both sides & simplify

3x=4x+17

-4x -4x

-x=17

*Negative x equals -1*

Divide both sides by -1 & simplify

$\frac{-x}{-1} =\frac{-17}{-1}$

$x=-17$

Find the surface area of this rectangular prism: Don't forget to show the unit of measure.

Ann [662]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the attachment of the prism is not given.

From the attachment:

$L =10cm$ -- Length

$W = 4cm$ -- Width

$H=5cm$ -- Height

Required

Determine the volume

So, the volume is:

$Volume = Length * Width (* Height$

$Volume = 10cm * 4cm * 5cm$

$Volume = 200cm^3$

Ariel was told the x intercept and the y intercept of a line with a positive slope. Yet, it was impossible for Ariel to find the

alexdok [17]

A line has the following standard equation form:

y = m x + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So if Ariel cannot find the slope, then this would only mean that m = 0, there is no slope. And hence the line is either a straight vertical line or straight horizontal line.

Answer:

There is no slope
