Answer:

W' = 54.4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The weight of a bag of books = 40 pounds

After picking up some books at school, the weight has increased by 36%.

We need to find the weight of the bag now. Let the new weight is W'.

So,

W' = 40 +36% of 40

i.e.

$W'=40+\dfrac{36}{100}\times 40\\W'=54.4\ pounds$

So, the new weight of the bag is equal to 54.4 pounds.

Smoothie Stand at Utah’s Wasatch County’s Demolition Derby sells bananas. If John bought 55 lbs. of bananas at $.24 per pound ex

AlladinOne [14]

I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.

so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.

Raul has $460 in his checking account. Each month, $45 is automatically deducted from his account to pay for his cell phone plan

MissTica

X=number of months
how much is deducted total=number of months times amount deducted per m onth
amount deducted per month=45
number of months=x
how much deducted total=45x

460-deducted total is more than 100
460-45x>100
solve for x
add 45x to both sides
460>100+45x
subtract 100
360>45x
divide both sides by 45
8>x
answer is 7 months
