Maria has gotten scores of 75, 77, 81 and 84 (out of a possible 100) on the four midterm examinations for a math class. If each

of these midterms counts as 15% of the total grade in the class and the final exam counts as 40% of the total grade, what must she get as a score (out of 100 possible) on the final examination to get at least 85% as her total grade in the class?

Answer:

93.63

Therefore, she need to get a minimum of 93.63 out of 100 in the final exam

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Each midterm exam = 15% of total grade

Final exam = 40% of total grade

Midterm scores = 75, 77, 81 and 84 (out of a possible 100)

Total midterm score = 75+77+81+84 = 317

To determine the grade of the four midterm exams in the total score;

We need to find the 15% of the midterm score;

= 15% of 317

= 0.15×317

= 47.55 %

To get a minimum score of 85 % of the total score, the amount of the total score to be secured in the final exam is;

Final exam = 85% - 47.55% = 37.45%

Since final exam is 40% of the total score;

It means she need to get 37.45% out of 40% of the final exam.

Converting it to a score of 100;

Final exam score = 37.45/40 × 100

Final exam score = 93.63

Therefore, she need to get a minimum of 93.63 out of 100 in the final exam

<h2>○=> <u>Correct options</u> :</h2><h2>□ $\color{plum}\tt\bold{(C) \: SR = 27}$ </h2><h2>□ $\color{plum}\tt\bold{(D) \: QR = 54 }$ </h2><h3><u>Steps to derive the correct options</u> :</h3>

Since two sides and one included angle is equal in △PQS and △PRS, we can conclude that they are congruent under the SAS congruence criterion.

Which means :

▪︎Angle S = Angle S

▪︎PS = PS

▪︎QS = RS

Given :

Measure of segment QS = 6n+3

Measure of segment RS = 4n+11

Thus :

$= \tt6n + 3 = 4n + 11$

$= \tt6n + 3 - 4n = 11$

$=\tt 2n + 3 = 11$

$= \tt2n = 11 - 3$

$= \tt2n = 8$

$=\tt n = \frac{8}{2}$

$\hookrightarrow\color{plum}\tt n = 4$

Thus, the value of n = 4

Measure of segment QS :

$=\tt 6n + 3$

$= \tt6 \times 4 + 3$

$= \tt24 + 3$

$\color{plum}\tt \: \bold{QS = 6n + 3 = \tt\bold{27}}$

Thus, measure of QS = 27

Measure of RS :

$=\tt 4n + 11$

$=\tt 4 × 4 + 11$

$=\tt 16+11$

$\color{plum}\tt \: \bold{RS = 4n + 11 = \tt\bold{27}}$

Measure of QR :

$=\tt 27+27$

$\color{plum}\tt \: \bold{QR = 27+27 \tt\bold{=54}}$

Thus :

▪︎QS = 27

▪︎RS = 27

▪︎QR = 54

Therefore, the correct options are :

▪︎(C) SR = 27

▪︎(D) QR = 54

Write 125 as a product of primes. Use index notation when giving your answer.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

5^3

Step-by-step explanation:

125= 5*25

25=5*5

5 is a prime number and there are 3 of them so the answer in index notation will be 5^3

Pizzeria Napoli sells a round pizza with diameter 16 inches and a square pizza with side length 15 inches. Which of the two shap

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: Square, 24 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Diameter of round pizza $d=16\ in.$

Side of square pizza $a=15\ in.$

Area of circle $\pi r^2$

The area of a square is $a^2$

$\therefore \text{Area of round Pizza}=\pi \times (\frac{16}{2})^2\\\Rightarrow A_1=\pi \times 8^2=201.088\ in.^2$

The area of square pizza is

$A_2=15^2=225\ in.^2$

Clearly, the area of square pizza is more and the difference in their area is

$\Rightarrow A_2-A_1=225-201.088=23.91\approx\ 24\ in.^2$
