You buy 21 lbs of cucumbers which are 92% water. A few days later they’re 85% water. How much do they weigh then?

1 answer:

3 0

To solve this, you must find the initial weight of the cucumber. To do this, you must divide the weight by the percentage of water and multiply it by 100.

(21/92)×100=22.83lbs.

Then, you multiply it by 85% and divide it by 100. Or simply multiply it by 0.85.

22.83×0.85=19.41lbs.

( $\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2}$ )we need 3 equations
1. midpoint equation which is ( $\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2}$ ) when you have 2 points

2. distance formula which is D= $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}$

3. area of trapezoid formula whhic is (b1+b2) times 1/2 times height

so

x is midpoint of B and C
B=11,10
c=19,6
x1=11
y1=10
x2=19
y2=6
midpoint=( $\frac{11+19}{2} , \frac{10+6}{2}$ )
midpoint=( $\frac{30}{2} , \frac{16}{2}$ )
midpoint= (15,8)

point x=(15,8)

y is midpoint of A and D
A=5,8
D=21,0
x1=5
y1=8
x2=21
y2=0
midpoint=( $\frac{5+21}{2} , \frac{8+0}{2}$ )
midpoint=( $\frac{26}{2} , \frac{8}{2}$ )
midpoint=(13,4)

Y=(13,4)

legnths of BC and XY
B=(11,10)
C=(19,6)
x1=11
y1=10
x2=19
y2=6
D= $\sqrt{(19-11)^{2}+(6-10)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{64+16}$
D= $\sqrt{80}$
D= $4 \sqrt{5}$
BC= $4 \sqrt{5}$

X=15,8
Y=(13,4)
x1=15
y1=8
x2=13
y2=4
D= $\sqrt{(13-15)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{4+16}$
D= $\sqrt{20}$
D= $2 \sqrt{5}$
XY= $2 \sqrt{5}$

the thingummy is a trapezoid
we need to find AD and BC and XY
we already know that BC= $4 \sqrt{5}$ and XY= $2 \sqrt{5}$

AD distance
A=5,8
D=21,0
x1=5
y1=8
x2=21
y2=0
D= $\sqrt{(21-5)^{2}+(0-8)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{(16)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{256+64}$
D= $\sqrt{320}$
D= $4 \sqrt{2}$
AD= $4 \sqrt{2}$

so we have
AD= $4 \sqrt{2}$
BC= $4 \sqrt{5}$
XY= $2 \sqrt{5}$

AD and BC are base1 and base 2
XY=height
so
(b1+b2) times 1/2 times height
( $4 \sqrt{2}+4 \sqrt{5}$ ) times 1/2 times $2 \sqrt{5}$ =
( $4 \sqrt{2}+4 \sqrt{5}$ ) times \sqrt{5} [/tex] =
$4 \sqrt{10}+4*5$ = $4 \sqrt{10}+20$ =80 $\sqrt{10}$ =252.982

X=(15,8)
Y=(13,4)
BC= $4 \sqrt{5}$
XY= $2 \sqrt{5}$
Area=80 $\sqrt{10}$ square unit or 252.982 square units

Kai bought 120 shares of stock for $68.24 per share. He sold them nine months later for $85.89 per share. What was his capital g

nevsk [136]

Answer:

2118 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

His capital gain is the difference in the (sell - buy) prices multiplied by the number of shares (120).

120 * (85.89 - 68.24) = 120 * 17.65 = 2118

The capital gain is a short term gain (held under a year)

The amount is 2118 dollars.
