Answer:

22.95 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the farm stand owner starts with x kg of apples.

During the first hour, he sells 15% of the apples:

0.15 x

This means he's left with 85% of the original apples.  During the second hour, he sells 20% of the remaining apples:

0.20 (0.85 x)

= 0.17 x

He's sold a total of 15% + 17% = 32% of the apples, so he's left with 68% of the apples.  Continuing the pattern, the apples sold during the third hour:

0.25 (0.68 x)

= 0.17 x

He's sold 49% of the apples and is left with 51%.  The apples sold during the fourth hour:

0.30 (0.51 x)

= 0.153 x

If 0.17 x = 25.5, then x = 150.  So the apples sold during the fourth hour is:

0.153 (150) = 22.95

How many solutions does the equation −2y + 2y + 3 = 3 have? One Zero Infinitely many Three
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation −2y + 2y + 3 = 3  we see only one variable, and that variable is of the first power.  Ordinarily, we'd say that this equation will have 1 solution.  However, if we combine like terms, we get 0 + 3 = 3, or 0 = 0, which is true for any and all y values.  Infinitely many solutions.
