Answer:

\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{288}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\star{ \text{ \: Given \:  : }}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{Total \: number \: of \: pens \:  =  \: 720}}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{Percentage \: of \: pens \: that \: are \: blue \: in \: colour \:  : 40\% \: }}

\star{ \text{ \: To \: find \:   \sf: Total \: number \: of \: blue \: pens}}

\mathfrak{Let's \: solve} :

\mapsto{ \sf{ \:40 \: \% \: of \: 720}}

\text{Step \: 1 \:  : } Convert percentage into fraction.

To convert the percent into a fraction, divide it by 100 and remove the % symbol.

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{40}{100}  \times 720}}

\text{Step \: 2 \:  : } Multiply

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator , and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{40 \times 720}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{28800}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{288 \cancel{00}  }{1 \cancel{00}} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{288}}

There are 288 blue pens in the box.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

What is the formula for the circumference of a circle?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

C = pi * d = 2 * pi *r

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle.  It can be found by multiplying the diameter times pi.

C = pi * d

We can replace the diameter with twice the radius

C = pi * 2 * r = 2 * pi *r

Which facts could be applied to simplify this expression? Check all that apply.
lisov135 [29]

The answer is B, C, and D. Like terms are terms with all the same variable, so 5x and -x are like terms.

C is correct. If we add -x to 5x, we get 4x. The other numbers remain unchanged because they have no like terms.

D is correct. Applying the rule of like terms, which is that like terms are numbers with the same variable, only add together numbers with the same variable.

stay safe!! wash ur hands and wear a mask :D
