Answer:

  9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The toys have a difference in mass of 1 kg; the containers have a difference in mass of 2 kg, so it only takes 2 toys per container to make up the difference in container mass.

  2 cars @ 1 kg ea + 7 kg container = 9 kg

  2 trucks @ 2 kg ea + 5 kg container = 9 kg

The containers ready for shipment have a mass of 9 kg.

Answer:

9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let x be the number of car toys packed into container. Toy cars weigh 1 kilogram apiece and are shipped in a container that weighs 7 kilograms when empty, then the total weight of container with toy cars is

x\cdot 1+7=x+7\ kg.

2. The number of toy trucks is also x. Toy trucks, which weigh 2 kilograms apiece, are shipped in a container weighing 5 kilograms, then the total weight of container with toy trucks is

x\cdot 2+5=2x+5\ kg.

3. When packed with toys and ready for shipment, both kinds of containers have the same weight. Thus,

x+7=2x+5,\\ \\7-5=2x-x,\\ \\2=x,\\ \\x=2.

4. The weight of each container is 2+7=9\ kg.

The total water usage for a city is 500,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 19% is for personal use and 42% is for industrial u
OleMash [197]

Ok. So we are going to multiply 500,000 and .19

Personal use: 500,000*.19=95,000

Industrial use: 500,000*.42=210,000

In this work, it shows that there is more used for industrial use than for personal use.

But none the less. We are going to subtract this. 210,000-95,000=115,000. 115,000 more gallons are used for industrial use than for personal use.

I hope this helps, if you have any other questions on this or any other question, just ask. I am here to help you as needed.

Perpendicular to y= -2x passing through -2,5 fine slope intercept
ioda
If a line is perpendicular to -2x, the slope has the opposite reciprocal. In this case, the opposite reciprocal of -2x is 1/2x. Then you plug in the coordinates in the y = mx + b format:
5 = 1/2 (-2) + b
Then you solve for b and you should get b = 6

Please help I rlly need it
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a)78

b)82.95

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the amount something is marked up you just need to multiply it by

1+0.(the%)

so in this case you multiply 60 by 1.30 to get 78

To get a discount you just have to do the same but without the +1

so 88*0.15

should get you the discount amount (13.2)

which you subtract from the original number (88-13.2 = 74.8)

now to get sales tax you would multiply the 79 by 0.05 which is 3.95

and add that to the total of 78.75 since sales tax applies AFTER coupons
