A set of pencils sells for $1.75 and costs $0.40 to make. Twenty percent of the profit ( the difference between the purchase pri

ce and the amount it costs to make) from each set of pencil goes to a school. If 500 set are sold, what is the amount of money that will go to the school.

Answer:

$135

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the revenue (selling price) - cost

Here, selling price per set is $1.75

Cost is $0.40

So, profit = 1.75 - 0.40 = $1.35 per set

If 500 set are sold, the total profit is:

500 * 1.35 = $675

20% of this profit (675) will go to school, so we need to find 20% of $675. We first convert the percentage to decimal and multiply with 675. Shown below:

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

0.2 * 675 = $135

Thus,

$135 goes to school

A person's metabolic rate is the rate at which the body consumes energy. Metabolic rate is important in studies of weight gain,
cupoosta [38]

Let m be mean

Mean= sum/ n

Mean= (1720+1687+1367+1614+1460+1867+1436) / 7

m= 11151 / 7

M= 1593

Mean= 1593

Standard deviation

|x-m|^2

For 1st: |1720-1593|^2=8836

For 2nd: |1687-1593|^2=10201

For 3rd: |1367-1593|^2=51076

For 4th: |1614-1593|^2=441

For 5th: |1460-1593|^2=1689

For 6th: |1867-1593|^2=75076

For 7th: |1436-1593|^2=24649

Summation of |x-m|^2 = 171968

Standard deviation sample formula is:

S.D = sqrt((summation of |x-m|^2) / n-1)

S.D=sqrt(171968/6)

S.D=sqrt(28661.33)

S.D=169.30

Standard deviation is 169.30

Convert the ratio 56: 80 to a percentage
zysi [14]
Change the ratio into a fraction

56:80  is the same as 56/80

Divide, make it a decimal

56/80 = 0.7

0.7 = 7/10 or 70/100

70/100 = 70%

70% is your answer

hope this helps

Find the value of x then classify the triangle by its angles
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + 60 = 180.

first, we add the x's together.

4x + 60 = 180

then we see if they all have a common multiple. in this case, they do. they are all divisible by 4, so we can use that.

x + 15 = 45

then, just subtract 15 from both sides, that way we get the variable by itself.

x = 30

also, it is a right triangle. the top angle (3x) multiplied by 3 is 90. any triangle that has a 90 degree angle is automatically a right triangle.
