Maria's Grocery Store buys grapefruit at a cost

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amanda [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 25 grapefruits

Step-by-step explanation:

They buy grapefruit at a price of 5 per dollar. This means that the price per grapefruit is:

= 1 / 5

= $0.20 per grapefruit.

They then sell at a price of 5 per $3. The selling price per grapefruit is:

= 3 / 5

= $0.60

The profit per grapefruit is:

= 0.60 - 0.20

= $0.40

In order to make a profit of $10, they should sell:

= 10 / 0.4

= 25 grapefruits

There are 10 marbles in the bag all together.
(8/10) = 80% of the marbles in the bag are white.

So if you pull a marble out of the bag, you have an 80% chance
of pulling a white one.

And if you do it many times, you expect that you'll pull
a white one out about 80% of the times.

   80% pf 45 times  =  0.8 x 45  =  36 times .

A gardener has 520 feet of fencing to fence in a rectangular garden. One side of the garden is bordered by a river and so it doe
Bond [772]

The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>

The given parameter is

Perimeter, P = 520 feet

Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y

One side of the garden is bordered by a river:

So the perimeter is:

P = 2x + y

Substitute P = 520

2x + y = 520

Make y the subject

y = 520 - 2x

The area is

A = xy

Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy

A = x(520 - 2x)

Expand

A = 520x - 2x^2

Differentiate

A' = 520 - 4x

Set to 0

520 - 4x = 0

Rewrite as:

4x= 520

Divide by 4

x= 130

Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x

y = 520 - 2 *130

Evaluate

y = 260

The area is then calculated as:

A = xy

This gives

A = 130 * 260

Evaluate

A = 33800

Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet
