Forty-five percent of the 300 shoppers in a supermarket bought milk. How many of the shoppers in a supermarket bought milk?

1 answer:

7 0

Turn 45% into a decimal. You get 0.45, because you move the decimal two places to the left.

Then multiply 300*0.45
You get 135

135 Shoppers in the supermarket bought milk.

Anestetic [448]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

This is impossible to solve.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

For an equation or inequality to be solvable, there must be the same number of inequalities as variables. Here, there is an x and there is a y. This means that you need at least two inequalities to solve it.

You can, however, rearrange to get x or y on one side.

This can be done for x:

5x < 10 + 2y

x < 2 + 2/5y

Or it can be done for y:

5x < 10 + 2y

5x - 10 < 2y

2.5x - 5 < y

you find a mutual fund that offers approximately 7.5% APR compounded monthly you will invest enough each month to have 2000 at t

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Assume you will invest fixed amount x at the starting of each month

S(12): (1.00625x)*(1.00625^(12)-1)/(1.00625-1) = 2000

x=160

you will invest fixed amount 160 at the starting of each month and get 2000 at the end of the year ,which compounded 7.5% monthly.

how much will you have invested at the end of the first year ?

160*12=1920

The first equation given $6=1-2n+5$

We have to add 1 and 5 to the right side first. We will get,

$6= 6 - 2n$

To get rid of 6 from the right side we have to subtract 6 from both sides.

$6-6 = 6-6-2n$

$6-6 = -2n$

$0=-2n$

To find n we have to move -2 to the other side by dividing both side by -2.

$0/-2 = -2n/-2$

$0= n$

$n=0$

So we have got the required answer for the first question.

The solution is n = 0.

The second equation given,

$8x-2 = -9+7x$

First we have to move 7x to the left side by subtracting it from both sides.

$8x-7x-2 = -9+7x-7x$

$8x-7x-2 = -9$

$x-2 = -9$

Now we have to move -2 to the right side by adding 2 to both sides.

$x-2+2 = -9+2$

$x = -9+2$

$x = -7$

We have got the required answer for the second question.

The solution is x = -7.

The third equation given,

$-8 = -(x+4)$

We have to get rid of that negative sign from both sides. As we have negative sign to both sides we can cancel it out. We will get,

$8=x+4$

Now we have to move 4 to left side by subtracting it from both sides.

$8-4 = x+4-4$

$8-4 = x$

$4=x$

$x = 4$

So we have got the required answer .

The solution is x = 4.

Ms. Thomas took her family and friend to the movies. There were a total of 16 people. Children tickets cost $6 and adult tickets

Korolek [52]

Answer:

11 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up a system of equations:

Let x = number of children and y = number of adults

There is a total of 16 people, so x+y = 16. This is your first equation.

Each child ticket costs $6, so 6x = cost of children's tickets based on the number of children present (x)

Each adult ticket costs $9, so 9y = cost of adult's tickets based on the number of adults present (y)

The total cost of tickets is $129, so 6x+9y = 129. This is your second equation.

Your system of equations is now this:

x + y = 16

6x + 9y = 129

You can solve this system using the method of elimination, where we will eliminate the variable x (number of children), since we are focused on y (number of adults).

Multiply the top equation by -6. This will give the following equation:

-6x - 6y = -96

You can now solve the system of equations by placing the new equation under the second equation like this:

6x + 9y = 129

-6x - 6y = -96

Now, add the two equations together.

6x + (-6x) = 0

9y + (-6y) = 3y

129 + (-96) = 33

After doing this, you get the following equation:

3y = 33

As you can see, the variable x has been eliminated, and you are left with y.

Solve the equation for y:

3y = 33

y = 33/3 = 11

y = 11 adults
