Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

At Noise Pollution Cellular, plan A is $30.00 per month and $5.00 for every gigabyte of data. Plan B is $50.00 per month and $2.
Verdich [7]

We need to find an equation for each situation. Let x be the number of GB of data used.

Statement 1: At Noise Pollution Cellular, plan A is $30.00 per month and $5.00 for every gigabyte of data used.

Plan A cost equation C(x) = 30 + 5x

Statement 2: At Noise Pollution Cellular, Plan B is $50.00 per month and $2.00 for every gigabyte of data used.

Plan B cost equation C(x) = 50 + 2x

Number of GB of data for which both the plan A and plan B cost are <em><u>same</u></em>.

30+5x=50+2x \\ Subtracting \; 2x \; \& \;30\; on\; both\; sides\;  \\ \\30+5x-2x-30=50-30+2x-2x \\Combining \; like \; terms\\\\3x=20\\Dividing \; like \; terms\\\\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{20}{3} \\ \\x=6\frac{2}{3}

When

x=6 \\\\  Plan \; A \; Cost = 30+5(6)=30+30=\$60\\ Plan \; B \; Cost = 50+2(6)=50+12= \$72\\ \\ From \; 5\leq x\leq   6\frac{2}{3}  , \; Plan \; A \; is \; Cheaper!

When

x = 7\\\\   Plan \; A \; Cost= 30 + 5(7) =30+35 = \$65\\\\Plan \; B \; Cost = 50 + 2(7)=50+14=\$64 \\ \\ From \; 6\frac{2}{3}     \leq x \leq   8, \; Plan\; B \; is \; Cheaper !

A zoo has a menagerie containing four pairs of different animals, one male and one female for each. The zookeeper wishes to feed
mixer [17]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use permutations to solve this problem

There are 4 pairs each having a male and a female.

The total number of sample points is 4! = 4*3*2*1= 24

He chooses the male first  then the number of sample space he is left with are 3! = 3*2*1=6

The total number of ways he can select is 4! 3! = 24 * 6= 144

Another way of finding it out is

he has 4 pairs  each having a male and a female so he chooses 1st male then he would choose from this

4 female choices*3 male choices * 3 female choices *2 male choices *2 female choices *1 male choices *1 female choices *= 4*3*3*2*2*1*1= 144

In parallelogram ABCD, if angle C=110 and angle D=70, what is the sum of the measures of angle A and angle B?
pav-90 [236]

To solve this problem, we must remember that the sum of interior angle of a polygon is:

Sum of interior angles = (n – 2) * 180˚

So, we can say that:

Sum of interior angles = angle A + angle B + angle C + angle D = (4 – 2) * 180˚

Where,

angle C + angle D = 110 + 70 = 180˚

Therefore substituting this value:

angle A + angle B + 180˚ = 2 * 108˚

angle A + angle B = 360˚ - 180˚

angle A + angle B = 180˚            (answer)

 

Hence we can also conclude that,

<span>angle A + angle B = angle C + angle D</span>
