2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total.  That leaves 60% leftover.

 

3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).

 

The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.

 

5/100 = 24/x

5x = 24(100)

5x = 2400

x = 480

 

ANSWER: 480 cartons

Is there a dilation that maps shape I onto shape II? If so, what is the scale factor, and is it an enlargement or a reduction?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Enlargement.

Scale Factor: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use points to find the enlargement. Typically, you will use all the points.

A(1 , 1) ⇒ A'(3 , 3)

B(2 , 1) ⇒ B'(6 , 3)

C(1 , 2) ⇒ C'(3 , 6)

D(2 , 2) ⇒ D'(6 , 6)

To find the scale factor, simply divide the Point' with the original Point. Use any number.

A'(3 , 3)/(A(1 , 1)) = 3

B'(6 , 3)/(B(2 , 1)) = 3

C'(3 , 6)/(C(1 , 2)) = 3

D'(6 , 6)/(D(2 , 2)) = 3

Your scale factor is 3.

At a clothing store, Ted bought 4 shirts and 2 ties for a total price of $95. At the same store, Stephen bought 3 shirts and 3 t
zepelin [54]

Answer:

$19.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We can turn these into equations by making the shirts 's' and the ties 't'.  

4s+2t=95 and 3s+3t=84

Now we can solve the system of equations with substitution.

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. What is the measure of 1​
navik [9.2K]

Both lines are parallel so using the bottom line you are given angle 7 as being 80 degrees. Angle 5 and 7 form a straight line which is 180 degrees so angle 5 would be 180-80 = 100 degrees.

Angle 1 is the same as angle 5 so angle 1 is 100 degrees.

Answer: 100 degrees
