Answer: The fourth donation was $250

Step-by-step explanation: Note that doantions are recorded as positive values and the costs are recorded as negative values. They received four donations and used up all money collected without any leftover.

The donations received were as follows;

250 + 1000 + 500 + x

The total amount spent was 2000 (recorded as a negative value)

Therefore the fourth donation which is x can be calculated as follows;

250 + 1000 + 500 + x = 2000

1750 + x = 2000

Subtract 1750 from both sides of the equation

x = 250

The value of the fourth donation is $250

Answer:

x = - 1, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 3) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 3 and + 1

(x - 3)(x + 1) ← in factored form

To solve equate to zero, that is

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Jared is redoing his bathroom floor with tiles measuring 6 in. by 14 in. The floor has an area of 8,900 in. What is the least nu
Bond [772]
Firstly we need to find an area of a single tile:

6 * 14 = 84 square inches

Now we just need to find out how many tiles of 84 square inches will fit in an area of 8900 square inches:

8900 ÷ 84 = 105,952380952381

Assuming we can't cut a tile into pieces, we may round the result to 106.

Answer: The least number of tiles Jared will need is <u>106</u>.

Willie won 125 lollipops playing hoops at
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Easiest way to do this is to work backwards.

If Willie only has 1 remaining lollipop, this means that he must've given a total of 124 lollipops to his friends.  (125 - 1 = 124)

Then we know he gave 4 lollipops to each friend. So all you need to do is divide the total number of lollipops he gave to his friends (124) by how many he gave to each friend.

Number of friends = Total number of lollipops given to friends / Number of lollipops given to each friend.

Number of friends = \frac{124}{4}  = ?

Please help me with this problem
stich3 [128]

Answer:$6.11 per bag

Step-by-step explanation: The total of both the apples and ice cream is 55.68. Since we’re just trying to find the total price of apples, we’ll subtract the total price of ice cream. 55.68-6.80=48.88. Now we’ll divide $48.88 by 8, since there are 8 bags. That leaves us with $6.11
