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>

F(x) = 3x+2<br><br> What is f(5)?
Ksju [112]

F(5)= 3.(5)+2=15+2=17

Another example: F(0)=3.(0)+2=0+2=2

You just replace the value in the two sides.

£620 is divided between Malachy, Paul &amp; Brian so that Malachy gets twice as much as Paul, and Paul gets three times as much
geniusboy [140]

Answer: Paul gets £186

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul has 1/2 as much as Malachy, and Brian has 1/3 as much Paul, therefore Brian has 1/6 as much as Malachy.

1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6

So Malachy’s amount equals 1 in this equation, Paul’s amount equals 1/2 in this equation, and Brian’s amount equals 1/6 in this equation.

1 + 1/2 + 1/6 = 1 + 3/6 + 1/6 = 1 4/6

Now, divide 620 by 1 4/6 to find Malachy’s amount.

620/1 4/6 = 372

Now, divde 372 by 2 to get Paul’s amount.

372/2 = 186

if the graph of f(x)=x^2 is shifted 4 units to the left, then what would be the equation of the new graph?​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Be careful. You can be confused by shifting left or right because the result is the opposite of what you might think.

f(x) = x^2

f(x + 4) = (x + 4)^2

To show you this in graphical form, see below.

Red: f(x) = x^2

Blue: f(x) = (x+4)^2 Notice that the blue graph is the the LEFT of the red graph

Riddle #2
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

28416

Step-by-step explanation:

No digits can be repeated

"All my digits are factors of 24" This means that the possible digits are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8

"The digits in my thousands place equals the perimeter of a 2x2 array" That would be 8

"The digits in my ten thousand places is twice the value of the digits in the hundreds place, but half the value of the digits in the thousands place" That would be 4, which also means that the ten thousands place is 2

"The digits in my tens place equal the number of lines of symmetry in an isoceles triangle" There is only 1 lines of symmetry

This means that we have 2841(?)

Because this number is even and no digits can be repeated, the only possible digits from those available is 6

Therefore the number is 28416
