Everybody wants to get into college but colleges can accept only so many students each year. Thus, the selection process is run based on students' resumes and letters of recommendation when only the best and the most deserving students are accepted.

The student's resume along with the letter of recommendation is very important when the process of college admission is concerned. Both of these documents help the selection board to know about the student's interests both inside and outside the college.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The resume of a student is nothing but a clean representation of all the achievements of a student in various fields of academics, sports, etc. It proves to be a great help when applying for a college, it not only saves time in completing the application but also makes sure nothing is left behind.

On the other hand, a letter of recommendation is a document that helps the college know about qualities of student that are separate from the academics, such as the student's reputation among the teachers and staff. It can be an essential part of the resume.Therefore, we can say that both the resume and letter of recommendation are equally important.

Based on the calculations, the value of x and y in this equation are both equal to 5.

<h3>What is a system of linear equations?</h3>

A system of linear equations can be defined as an algebraic equation of the first order that has two (2) variables with each of its term having an exponent of one (1).

<u>Given the following data:</u>

x + y = 10 .....equation 1.

x = 5. .....equation 2.

<h3>How to evaluate an equation.</h3>

In order to evaluate the given mathematical equation, we would substitute equation 2 into equation 1 as follows:

$5+y=10\\\\y=10-5$

y = 5.

Which of the following random variables is geometric?

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

b. The number of digits in a randomly selected row until a 3 is found.

Explanation:

A random variable often used in statistics and probability, is a variable that has its possible values as numerical outcomes of a random experiment or phenomenon. It is usually denoted by a capital letter, such as X.

In statistics and probability, random variables are either continuous or discrete.

1. A continuous random variable is a variable that has its possible values as an infinite value, meaning it cannot be counted.

2. A discrete random variable is a variable that has its possible values as a finite value, meaning it can be counted.

Also, any random variable that meets certain conditions defined in a research study.

Hence, an example of a geometric random variables is the number of digits in a randomly selected row until a 3 is found.

A grocery store has two recycling machines

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer is 112%

kinda skeptical about my answer but i am going to give it my best shot, sorry if i get it wrong.

In percent-type questions I always go by this formula:

not a % %

original number : 100%

new number : new %

original number × new % = new number × 100%

here, the original numbers are 240 and 180 and the new % is +30% and -10% now let plastic be P and metal be M and let's elaborate this a bit further

plastic:

the first recycling machine took in 240 plastic bottles while the second took in 30% <u>more</u> plastic bottles, what we have to do here is to find out how much bottles the second machine took in as a form of integer, which is the new number; let that new number be X, let's plug this in the formula

$240:100+30\\X:130 \\$

notice: 130 is the new %

$240*130 = 100X\\31200 = 100X\\312=X$

the second machine took in 312 plastic bottles, let's save this answer for later

metal:

the first recycling machine took in 180 metal cans while the second took in 10% <u>less</u> plastic bottles, we do the same thing and find the new number, this time let it be Y:

$180:100-10\\Y=90$

90 is the new % here; also, notice how sometimes you either add or subtract percents, depending on what the problem demands.

$180*90=100Y\\16200=100Y\\162=Y$

Now we can conclude that the first recycling machine took in 240 plastic bottles and 180 metal cans and the second took in 312 plastic bottles and 162 metal cans.

here comes the hardest bit to apprehend and the final part of this problem, "the second machine recycled what percent (%) more items than the first?"

in other words, how much percent did the second machine recycle more.

to find that percent, first we need to add the plastic and metal "items" of both machines individually and turn them into percents: let the first machine be A and second machine be B:

A: 240+180=420

B: 312+162=474

again, using the same formula to find the new percent, let that percent be Z; plugging both A and B respectively:

$420:100\\474:Z$

$420Z=474*100\\420Z=47400\\Z= 112.857$ ≈ 112% more items than the first

now if you check the rounded up 112 and plug it back in to make sure of your answer: $420Z=47400$ you end up getting 47040, since it's rounded up, but when you plug the full 112.857 you get 47399.94, closest to 47400. Tip: when you plug in any value for check up, don't use the rounded up one.

At last, those steps are actually fast, especially with that formula it's so important. the explanation seems intimidating so read it slowly and take your time. if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. also, let me know if you know a faster method to solve this question. <3
