The cost of small box of oranges is $7.

The cost of large box of oranges is $13.

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

It is given that,

3 small boxes of oranges and 14 large boxes of oranges for a total of $203.

11 small boxes of oranges and 11 large boxes of oranges for a total of $220.

Let us take,

  • The cost of small box of oranges = x
  • The cost of large box of oranges = y

<u>The system of equations are framed as :</u>

3x + 14y = 203  ---------(1)

11x + 11y = 220  ---------(2)

<u>To solve these equations for x and y values :</u>

Multiply equation (1) by 11 and equation (2) by 3

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1),

 33x + 154y = 2233

- <u>(33x + 33y = 660)  </u>

  <u>        121 y = 1573  </u>

⇒ y = 1573 / 121

⇒ y = 13

∴ The cost of large box of oranges is $13.

Substitute y=13 in the eq(1),

⇒ 3x + 14(13) = 203

⇒ 3x + 182 = 203

⇒ 3x = 203 - 182

⇒ 3x = 21

⇒ x = 21 / 3

⇒ x = 7

∴ The cost of small box of oranges is $7.

How much water should we add to 5 gallons of 18% acid solution to dilute it to a concentration of 10%?
KIM [24]

4 gallons of water is needed to dilute to a concentration of 10%.

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

It is given that,

The 5 gallons of water contains 18% of acid solution.

Now, we are asked to find the gallons of water needed to dilute it to a concentration of 10% acid solution.

We obtain the equation by stating that the amount of acid 10% in the water must dilute up to 18%.

For this, x amount of water should be added.

Therefore, the equation is framed as,

⇒ 0.1 (x+5) = 5 (0.18)

⇒ 0.1x + 0.5 = 0.9

⇒ 0.1x = 0.9 - 0.5

⇒ x = 0.4 / 0.1

⇒ x = 4

∴ 4 gallons of water is needed to dilute to a concentration of 10%.

the patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 5.9 days and a standard de
NNADVOKAT [17]
The 85th percentile is the cutoff time t such that

\mathbb P(X

In other words, the 85th percentile refers to the time needed to belong to the top 15% of the distribution; more generally, the n percentile is the top (100-n)\% of the distribution.

Anyway, to find this value of t, transform X to a random variable Z with the standard normal distribution using

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma

where \mu is the mean of X and \sigma is the standard deviation of X.

\mathbb P(X

Here t^* is used to denote the z-score corresponding to the cutoff time t. Referring to a z-score table, you find that this occurs for t^*\approx1.036. So,

\dfrac{t-5.9}{2.1}=t^*\implies t=5.9+2.1t^*\approx8.076

A circle with radius 16 centimeters is inscribed in a square.Which is the area of the shaded region? A. 804.25 square feet B. 10
Dmitrij [34]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Area of shaded region = 220.16 ft²

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The diagram associated with this question is shown in the attached image

Unit in diagram is ft, so I'll use this unit in the answer

We are given that a circle with radius 16 ft is inscribed in a square

We know that the radius of an inscribed circle in a square is equivalent to half the length of the side of the square

<u>This means that:</u>

side length of the square = 2 × radius = 2 × 16 = 32 ft

<u>From the diagram, we can note that:</u>

area of shaded region = area of square - area of circle .............> equation I

<u>1- getting area of square:</u>

Area of a square is the square of its side length

<u>This means that:</u>

Area of square = (32)² = 1024 ft²

<u>2- getting the area of the circle:</u>

Area of circle = πr² = 3.14 × (16)² = 803.84 ft²

<u>3- getting area of shaded region:</u>

<u>Use equation I</u>

area of shaded region = area of square - area of circle

area of shaded region = 1024 - 803.84 = 220.16 ft²

Hope this helps :)
