20% of 50 is 10

Half of 50 is 25

25 + 10 = 35

50 -35 = 15

15 of the backpacks were neither pink or blue

Hope this helps :)

Find the angle between the vectors u=i-9j and v=8i+5j

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: $\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{-37}{\sqrt{7298}} \right) \approx 115.665^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$u \cdot v=(1)(8)+(-9)(5)=-37\\\\|u|=\sqrt{1^{2}+(-9)^{2}}=\sqrt{82}\\\\|v|=\sqrt{8^{2}+5^{2}}=\sqrt{89}\\\\\cos \theta=\frac{-37}{\sqrt{82}\sqrt{89}}\\\\\theta=\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{-37}{\sqrt{82}\sqrt{89}} \right)\\\\\theta=\boxed{\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{-37}{\sqrt{7298}} \right) \approx 115.665^{\circ}}$
