Answer:
22 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
When z "varies jointly" with x and y, it can be described by the formula
z = kxy
Here, we have bags of mulch (n) varying jointly with area (a) and depth (d), both in feet. The given information can let us find the value of k.
n = kad
10 = k·(120)(1/4)
10/30 = k = 1/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of k
Now, we can fill in the other values of interest.
n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9
n = 22 2/9
You need 22 2/9 bags of mulch to cover 200 ft² to a depth of 4 inches.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
This problem requires the formula be written with both area and depth expressed in feet, yet it gives depth in inches. The formula can also be written using depth in inches. In that case, k = 1/36.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The method applied in this scenario is called simple random sampling. A sample of 100 customers is chosen from a larger population of customers and each customer has the same chance of being selected for the survey at any given time. Also, the chance of selecting 100 customers from each store is the same during the sampling process. The order of sampling at each store does not follow a certain order, thus, It is different from systematic random sampling.
Answer:
a. number of boxes sold ≥ 50
b. 26 + x ≥ 50
Step-by-step explanation:
174/29 = 6 times the difference
17*6 = 102
12*6= 72
34*6 =204
15*6 = 90
so the answer is A
Answer:
This question requires a comparison between two different variables 6% and 16% values. If we let x=$ loaned on 6% loans and y=$ loaned on 16% loans, then we can relate two equations.
0.06x + 0.16y = $1500 --> referencing the interest earned from each percentage loaned.
x + y = $16000 --> referencing the total amount of money loaned out.
Rearrange either equation and substitute for a value in the other equation or use elimination to determine each individual variable.
