Sarah bought pencils and markers for school. She bought 3 times as many pencils as markers.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Sarah bought 30 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let define p, as the number of pencils bought, and m, as the number of markers bought.

2.

0.15p+0.30m=7.50

p=3m

3. Substitute p in the first equation to 3m since p=3m as defined.

0.15(3m) + 0.30m=7.50\\0.45m+0.30m=7.50\\0.75m=7.50\\m=10

plug m into equation p=3m to find the number of pencils bought

p=3m=3(10)=30

1.)  The sum(addition) of 21 and 5 times(multiplication) a number f is(=) 61.

f = unknown number/variable     [So 21 plus 5f(5 times f) equals 61]

21 + 5f = 61   [21(one-time) + 5f(number x variable) = 61(total)]

2.)  Seventeen more(addition) than seven times(multiplication) a number j is(=) 87.

j = unknown number/variable    [So 17 plus 7j(7 times j) equals 87]

17 + 7j = 87  

3.)   n = number of calls

18 + 0.05n = 50.50  

[Company charges $18 plus five cents per call(n), and the total charge was $50.50]

4.)     s = the number of students

40 + 30s = 220

[Tutor charges $40 plus $30 per student(s), and the total charge was $220]

A cart travels 3.6 meters in 1.8 seconds. What is the average speed of the cart?
Lady_Fox [76]
For solving this we need the change in distance and the change in time.  You said that the change in time is 1.8 seconds and the change in distance is 3.6 meters.  ( This is assuming it started at 0 meters and started at 0 seconds )

Since the starting was 0,0 we can toss them out as they add no value.  Now since speed is labeled (in this case) m/s, we divide how many meters it traveled over how many seconds it took to travel it.

3.6 / 1.8 = 2

The average speed of the cart is 2 m/s

A radioactive substance decays at a continuous rate of 12% per year, and 90 mg of the substance is present in the year 2000. (a)
Alla [95]

Answer:

A(t) = 90e^0.12t ;

299 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

General Continous growth rate equation :

A = Pe^rt

A = amount present, t years after year of initial amount.

Here,

P = 90 mg, amount in year 2000

r = rate = 12% = 0.12

t = years after 2000

Therefore,

A is written as ;

A(t) = 90e^0.12t

Amount present in year 2010 ;

t = 2010 - 2000 = 10

A(10) = 90e^0.12(10)

A(10) = 90 * e^1.2

= 90 * 3.3201169

= 298.81052

= 299 mg
