Answer:

41 cookies in the box are not sugar cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find what percentage of the total cookies <u>aren't</u> 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 :-)

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The inverse means take the not of both sides

If it is Saturday, then there is no school.

Inverse If it is not Saturday, then there is school.

The converse flips the then and the if

If there is no school, then it is Saturday.

2.) The first given part is the if, what will happen is the then part

If you are a freshman, then you are required to attend orientation.

3.)

Given: 3x+1=-14 Prove: x=-5

Statements Reasons

1. 3x+1=-14 Given

2. 3x=-15 Subtraction Property of equality ( since we subtract 1 from each side)

3. X=-5 Division Property ( since we divide each side by 3)

The Country Buffet restaurant has tables that seat 6 people and booths that can seat 4 people. The restaurant has 38 seating uni

Alina [70]

Answer:

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of tables with t and the number of booths with b.

We need to find the values of t and b.

(6 people/table)(t) + (4 people/booth)b = 188 (units are "people")

t + b = 38 (units are "seating units")

Solving the second equation for t, we get 38 - b = t.

Substitute 38 - b for t in the first equation:

(6 people/table)(38 - b) + (4 people/booth)b = 188

Then solve for b: 6(38) - 6b + 4b = 188, or:

228 - 2b = 188, or 2b = 228 - 188, or 2b = 40. Thus, b = 20 (booths)

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables.

The perimeters of the square and the triangle shown below are equal. What is the value of x?

Rudiy27

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. So we can set up an equation:

$\sf 3x+1+3x+1+3x+1+3x+1=2x+8+x+8+4x+2$

Now solve for 'x', combine like terms:

When it comes to terms with variables it's just like normal addition but we keep the variable:

$\sf 3x+3x+3x+3x=12x$
$\sf 2x+x+4x=7x$

So we have:

$\sf 12x+1+1+1+1=7x+8+8+2$

Add:

$\sf 12x+4=7x+18$

Subtract 7x to both sides:

$\sf 5x+4=18$

Subtract 4 to both sides:

$\sf 5x=14$

Divide 5 to both sides:

$\boxed{\sf x=2.8}$
