Answer:

3000 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must apply the formula of the mean, which would be the sum of the values divided by the amount of data is the mean:

m = (a1 + a2 ... an) / n

In this case we know the mean, we must know the 1987 data, therefore:

Let x be the number of bags sold in 1987, replacing in the previous equation:

2100 = (1800 + 1500 + x) / 3

2100 * 3 = 3300 + x

x = 6300 - 3300

x = 3000

Therefore, for the average to be a total of 2100 bags in those 3 years, the amount of bag sold in 1987 must have been 3000 bags

In what time will Rs. 5600 amount to Rs. 6720 at 8% per annum?

Leona [35]

Answer: 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If Interest= Principal x rate x time/100; then time is (100 × Interest)/(Principal × Rate)

From the question, old Principal is 5600, new principal =6720, the difference is the interest accrued.

Interest = 6720 - 5600 = Rs 1120

Rate = 8% = 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08

Time = x

Then, slot the values into the formula

Time= 100 x 1120 / 6720 x 8

= 112000/53760

=2.08

Time= 2years

On a certain hot summer day, 481 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.25 for children and 2.25 for adult

spayn [35]

Answer:the number of children that swam in the public pool that day is 222

the number of adult that swam in the public pool that day is 259

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that swam in the public pool that day.

Let y represent the number of adult that swam in the public pool that day.

On a certain hot summer day, 481 people used the public swimming pool. This means that

x + y = 481

The daily prices are 1.25 for children and 2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled to 86.25. This means that

1.25x + 2.25y = 860.25 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 481 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.25(481 - y) + 2.25y = 860.25

601.25 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 860.25

- 1.25y + 2.25y = 860.25 - 601.25

y = 259

Substituting y = 259 into x = 481 - y, it becomes

x = 481 - 259

x = 222

5y + 2 + 6 + 2y 5y + 2(y + 3) + 2 combining like terms 6y − y + 2y + 10 − 4 + 2 Commutative Property Distributive Property arrow

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 2 + 6 + 2y

= 5y + 2(y + 3) + 2 This is the distributive property of multiplication w.r.t. addition

= 6y − y + 2y + 10 − 4 + 2

The distributive property of multiplication with respect to addition is the one which separates each term by using multiplication and then addition.

So we see that 2 is multiplied with y and 3 and then added with the like terms. If there was a minus sign the property would be distributive over subtraction.
