Answer:

10 + 9 = n

19 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

80 ÷ 8 = y and 56 ÷ 6 = a

n = y + a

80 ÷ 8 × 8 = y × 8

80 = 8y

80 ÷ 8 = 8y ÷ 8

y = 10

54 ÷ 6 = a

54 ÷ 6 × 6 = a × 6

6a = 54

6a ÷ 6 = 54 ÷ 6

a = 9

10 + 9 = n

19 = n

Solve the equation.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

A. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 4(2 x + 9) = 4(2 x +6)

We divide through by 4 to get:

2 x + 9 = 2 x +6

We now group similar terms to obtain:

$2x - 2x = 6 - 9$

$0 = - 3$

This final statement is false.

Therefore the given equation has no solution.

Disregarding wind resistance the distance a body falls from rest varies directly as th squares of the time it falls if a skydive

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The skydiver will fall 1600 ft in 10 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance a body falls from rest varies directly as the squares of the time it falls </u>

Let distance = s

time = t

Therefore , s = k $\times t^{2}$

Given, the body falls 64 ft in 2 seconds.

Substituting in above equation,

64 = k $\times (2)^{2}$

64 = k $\times (4)$

k = $\frac{64}{4}$

k = 16 ft/ $s^{2}$

We have to find how much he will fall in 10 seconds.

s = k $\times t^{2}$

s = $16 \times 10^{2}$

s = $16 \times 100$

s = 1600 ft

A store pays a manufacturer $20 for a hat. To make a profit, the store prices the hat 60% higher than the amount they paid. Late

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The clearance price is $17.28.

The clearance price will not give the store any profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a store pays a manufacturer $20 for a hat. To make a profit, the store prices the hat 60% higher than the amount they paid.

The price of the hat after increasing the price by 60% will be:

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+(\frac{60}{100}*20)$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+(0.60*20)$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+12$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=32$

So, the price of hat after the increase of 60% will be $32.

As the sale reduces the price of hat by 10%, so the price of hat after sale will be:

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-(\frac{10}{100}*32)$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-(0.10*32)$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-3.2$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=28.8$

So the price of hat after 10% sale will be $28.8.

As the clearance sale reduces the price by 40%, so price of hat after clearance sale will be 28.8 minus 40% of 28.8.

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-(\frac{40}{100}*28.8)$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-(0.40*28.8)$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-11.52$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=17.28$

Therefore, the clearance price is $17.28.

As store has purchased the hat from manufacturer for $20 and sold it $17.28, therefore, the store will not have a profit.
