Answer:

The owner's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 320 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of apples already available with Owner = 200

Number of bags of apples ordered with 12 apples each = 19

Number of apples ordered = 12 \times 19 = 228

OR

Rounding off 19 to 20:

Number of apples ordered  = 12 \times 20 = 240

Around <em>240 apples were ordered</em>.

Number of bags of apples with 8 apples each, sold = 42

Number of apples sold = 42 \times 8 = 336

Rounding off 42 to 40, <em>number of apples sold = around 320</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, 80 more apples were sold than that of apples bought.

So, according to the estimate, there will be 80 fewer apples left than they started with.

<em>Correct answer is:</em>

The owner's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 320 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with

0.8y+0.25= -0.4<br><br> Solve for y
disa [49]

Answer:

y = -13/16

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

0.8y+0.25= -0.4

<u>To Find:</u>

Solve for y

<u>Solution:</u>

Multiply both sides by 100

0.8y\cdot \:100+0.25\cdot \:100=-0.4\cdot \:100

Simplify

80y+25=-40

Subtract 25 from both sides

80y+25-25=-40-25

Simplify

80y=-65

Divide both sides by 80

\frac{80y}{80}=\frac{-65}{80}

Simplify

y=-\frac{13}{16}

Thus, y = -13/16

or in decimal form it equal y = -0.8125

Answer:

B x^9 ∛ y

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^27 y) ^ (1/3)

x^27^(1/3) y^(1/3)

We can distribute the exponent a^b ^c = a^(b*c)

x^(27*1/3) y^(1/3)

x^9 y^(1/3)
