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

Answer:

<em><u>blue</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>pens</u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u>288</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>blue</em><em> </em><em>pens</em><em>=</em><em>720×40%</em>

<em>blue</em><em> </em><em>pens</em><em>=</em><em>720×40/100</em>

<em>blue pens</em><u>=</u><u>288</u>

A polynomial is to be constructed that will touch the x axis at most 8 times. What is the minimum degree of the polynomial?
Harman [31]
The maximum number of roots to a polynomial of order n is n roots. Take the example of a quadratic (order 2) which can intersect the x-axis a maximum of 2 times, and similarly a cubic (order 3) 3 times maximum.

Hence for 8 intersections, minimum order = 8

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $10 plus an additional $0.15 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $30 p
Mkey [24]

First, you need to write to expressions to model each situation:

Plan A: 10+0.15x

Plan B: 30+0.1x


Next, set the expressions equal to each other and solve for x:

10+0.15x=30+0.1x

<em>*Subtract 0.1x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>

10+0.05x=30

<em>*Subtract 10 from both sides*</em>

0.05x=20

<em>*Divide both sides by 0.05*</em>

x=400


The plans would have the same cost after 400 minutes of calls.


To find how much money the plans cost at 400 minutes, plug 400 into either expression.  We'll use Plan A:

10+0.15(400)

10+60

70


The plans will cost $70.


Hope this helps!
