Emil is running a lemonade stand. He sells half of his lemonade in the morning, a quarter of what was left at lunchtime, and a t

masya89 [10]

Emil starts the day with 16 liters of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

For a particular pickup truck the percent markup is known to be 115% based on cost to the seller. If the seller paid $15,800 for

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

115%(15,800)= $18,170. <--- markup price

$15,800+$18,170= $33,970 total price

That is 115% x $15,800 = $18,170 markup price

Then add the original price to the markup price

That is $15,800 + $18,170 = $33,970

Solve y-12/25=3 1/5. What number is y? A. 3 1/5 B. 3 17/25 C. 3 7/25 D. 4 17/25

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Option c) y= $3\frac{17}{25}$ is correct

The value of y is 3 $\frac{17}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is

$y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}$

To solve the given equation for y

$y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}$

$y-\frac{12}{25}=\frac{16}{5}$ (converting mixed fraction to normal fraction )

$y-\frac{16}{5}=\frac{12}{25}$

$y-\frac{(16\times 5)+12}{25}$ (taking LCM 25 )

$=\frac{80+12}{25}$ (adding the terms )

$y=\frac{92}{25}$ (now convert fraction into mixed fraction )

Therefore y= $3\frac{17}{25}$

Option c) y= $3\frac{17}{25}$ is correct

The value of y is 3 $\frac{17}{25}$
