Answer:
22 boxes were lost. Look for the happy squirrels.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of lost boxes. David Express should expect to receive $25 for each of the 325 boxes of apples. That means:
($25)*(325) = $8125
The loss of a box means that the delivery fee would be forfeited, which would amount to: x*($25)
But a compensation fee of $75/box also applies, so the total loss to the income would be x*($25+$75) or x*($100). This would be subtracted from the total expected income of $8125:
Resulting Income: $8125 - ($100)x = $5925
$8125 - ($100)x = $5925
$8125 - ($100)x = $5925
-100x = -2200
x = 22 boxes were lost. Zounds! [A metric term for %$%^&]
===================
<u>Check:</u> Does the loss of 22 of the 325 boxes result in a total payment of $5925?
Delivered boxes: (325 - 22) = 303 boxes delivered. 303*$25 = $7575
Penalty of $75 per lost box: 22*($75) = $1650
Result: $7575 - $1650 = $5925 <u>YES</u>
Answer:
Jane used 2/5 of a scoop more of brown sugar than she did with white sugar.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to find how much more something is from something else, you subtract. So, subtract 9/10-1/2. If you want to subtract, they should both have the same denominator. So, 9/10-1/2 is the same as 9/10-5/10. 9/10-5/10 is equal to 4/10 which is simplified to 2/5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The areas of the two figures are the same.
What do you need help on?
If we increase q by 2, it means that q becomes q+2.
So, p will become
So, the new value for p is 6 more than the previous one.
The second exercise looks a bit odd: if the sequence started with -100, then it would be
-100, -97, -94, -91, -88,...
And every term would be 3 more than the previous one, so the next term would be -85, but this doesn't appear in your option.
Also, the fact that the sequence starts with positive 100 is quite strange, because it is unrelated to the rest of the sequence.
Are you sure that the exercise is written correct? Or are there any typos?
