The percentage of the yellow gumdrops is 21.621...%

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Orange gumdrops = 17 , Yellow gumdrops = 8 and Black gumdrops = 12

So, the total gumdrops = 17 + 8 + 12 = 37

Percentage of yellow gumdrops <em>= [(Yellow gumdrops) / (Total gumdrops)] × 100% </em>

So, the percentage $= \frac{8}{37}* 100 = \frac{800}{37}= 21.621...$ %

The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were − 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius. What two temper

Inessa05 [86]

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the average of a set of data is $A=\frac{S}{N}$ , where

S is the sum of the data in the set
N is the number of the data in the set

∵ The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were

− 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius

∴ The set of the data is { -6 , -3 , -1 , 1 , -3 , -9 , -14}

- Add the data in the set

∵ S = -6 + -3 + -1 + 1 + -3 + -9 + -14

∴ S = -35

∵ The set has 7 data

∴ N = 7

- Use the formula of the average above to find it

∴ $A=\frac{-35}{7}$

∴ A = -5

∴ The average of the original set of numbers is -5

To keep the average the same after removing two numbers multiply the average by the new number of data to find the new sum

∵ The number of data after removing two numbers is 5

∴ N = 5

∵ A = -5

- By using the rule of average

∴ $-5=\frac{S}{5}$

- Multiply both sides by 5

∴ -25 = S

∴ The new sum is -25

- Lets find which two numbers of have a sum of -10 because

the difference between -35 and -25 is -10

∵ -1 + -9 = -10

∵ -6 + -3 + 1 + -3 + -14 = -25

∴ We could removed -1 and -9

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Can u please help me with this 2 problem please

Mice21 [21]

<h2>19.</h2><h3>Given</h3>

window width and height are in proportion to building width and height
window width and height are 11 in and 18 in, respectively
building height is 108 ft

building width

<h3>Solution</h3>

The proportional relation can be written as

... (building width)/(building height) = (window width)/(window height)

Multiplying by (building height) gives

... (building width) = (building heigh) × (window width)/(window height)

... (building width) = 108 ft × (11 in)/(18 in)

... building width = 66 ft

<h2>21.</h2><h3>Given</h3>

map distance = 6.75 in
map scale = 1.5 in : 5 mi

actual distance

<h3>Solution</h3>

The distances are in proportion, so

... (map distance) : (actual distance) = 1.5 in : 5 mi

Multiplying by (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(actual distance), we have

... (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(6.75 in) = (actual distance) = 22.5 mi

Yes, it is correct

alexgriva [62]

Answer:In Heather's solution to the problem, she wrote and solved an equation.

Her work is:

Step 1: 1.08(x +9.01 +0.98 +5.01) = 21.87

Solving like terms

1.08(x+15}=21.87

dividing both side by 1.08

we get

x+15=21.87/1.08

x+15=20.25

subtracting both side by 13.9198

x=20.25-15

x=5.25

According to correction

<u>Option 1st</u>

<u>yes,it is correct</u>

On Fridays, Jerry stops at Steak & Taco Shack before he goes home. This week

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Steak sandwich = x = 4

Cheese fries = y = 1.75

Taco salad = z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Steak sandwich = x

Cheese fries = y

Taco salad = z

This week:

x + 2y + 2z = 11.50 - - - - (1)

Last week :

2x + 3y + z = 15.25 - - - (2)

Two weeks ago :

x + 4y + z = 13 - - - - - (3)

Taking (1) and (2)

x + 2y + 2z = 11.50 ___(1)

2x + 3y + z = 15.25 ___(2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 1 and subtract

2x + 4y + 4z = 23

2x + 3y + z = 15.25

_______________

y + 3z = 7.75 - - - - (4)

Taking (2) and (3)

2x + 3y + z = 15.25 - - (2)

x + 4y + z = 13 - - - - - (3)

Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 2 and subtract

2x + 3y + z = 15.25

2x + 8y + 2z = 26

______________

-5y - z = - 10.75 - - - - - (5)

Lets solve (4) and (5)

y + 3z = 7.75 - - - - (4) - - - multiply by 5

-5y - z = - 10.75 - - - - - (5) - - - multiply by 1

Then add the result :

5y + 15z = 38.75

-5y - z = - 10.75

____________

14z = 28

z = 28 / 14

z = 2

To find y ; put z = 2 in (4)

y + 3z = 7.75

y + 3(2) = 7.75

y + 6 = 7.75

y = 7.75 - 6

y = 1.75

From equation 3 ;

x + 4y + z = 13 - - - - - (3)

x + 4(1.75) + 2 = 13

x + 7 + 2 = 13

x + 9 = 13

x = 13 - 9

x = 4

Hence,

Steak sandwich = x = 4

Cheese fries = y = 1.75

Taco salad = z = 2
