Answer:

38.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples sold = x

Now, on the first hour he sold 15% of the apples i.e. he sold 0.15x kg of apples.

So, the remaining apples = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

Further, on the second hour he sold 20% of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.20 × 0.85x = 0.17x kg of apples.

Thus, the remaining apples = 0.85x - 0.17x = 0.68x

Then, on the third hour he sold 25% of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.25 × 0.68x = 0.17x kg of apples.

So, the remaining apples = 0.68x - 0.17x = 0.51x

Moreover, on the fourth hour he will sell 30% ( i.e. 5% more of 25% ) of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.30 × 0.51x = 0.153x kg of apples.

As, during the second hour, he sold 25.5 kg of apples.

Then, 0.17x = 25.5 i.e. x=\frac{25.5}{0.17} i.e. x = 250

Hence, during the fourth hour, he will sell 0.153x = 0.153 × 250 = 38.25 kg of apples.

Evaluate rs + 14s when r = 6 and s = 8
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 6 for r, and 8 for s in the expression:

(r)(s) + (14)(s) = (6)(8) + (14)(8)

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply, then add:

(6 * 8) + (14 * 8)

48 + 112

112 + 48 = 160

160 is your answer.

How do you explain how to get h(t)=7(t-25)
Nutka1998 [239]
Hey There! :)

To Solve for t.
h(t)=7(t-25)
Distribute the brackets.
h(t)=7*t-7*25
h(t)=7t-175
Subtract 7t from both sides.
(h(t))-7t=(7t-175)-7t
(h(t)-7t=-175
h*t-7t=-175
Factor out variable, t.
t(h-7)=-175
Divide both sides by h-7.
(t(h-7))/h-7=(-175)/h-7
t=-175/h-7

Hope this helps!

how many different license plates can be formed if each plate plate has 5 different digits followed by 1 letter
Elina [12.6K]

This is a fundamental counting principle problem and can be solved by multiplying the number of choices you have for each digit of the license plate.

For the first five digits you can choose from the numbers 0,1,2...,9 or 10 choices.

A we cannot repeat the digits, so, first five digits will be:

10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6

Now the next 1 digit will all be letter all being different

There are 26 letters in the alphabet.. for our second digit we have 26 choices,

Here is the whole calculation:

= 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 26

= 786240
