Maria's Grocery Store buys grapefruit at a cost

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amanda [17]2 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

What is the surface area of the right rectangular prism?
scoundrel [369]
<h3>Answer:  Choice A) 252 in^2</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The red rectangle is 6 inches by 12 inches, so its area is 6*12 = 72 square inches. There are two of these rectangles (one on top, one on the bottom). That accounts for 2*72 = 144 square inches so far.

The purple rectangles are 3 inches by 12 inches, yielding an area of 3*12 = 36 square inches each. That's another 2*36 = 72 square inches when we account for the front and back purple rectangles.

The green rectangles are 6 inches by 3 inches. Each green rectangle is 6*3 = 18 square inches. Having two of them means we'll add on 2*18 = 36 square inches.

Overall, the entire surface area is the sum of all the areas we calculated: 144+72+36 = 252 square inches, which is choice A

-------------------------

Alternative Method:

  • L = 12 = length
  • W = 6 = width
  • H = 3 = height

SA = surface area of the rectangular prism

SA = 2*(L*W + L*H + W*H)

SA = 2*(12*6 + 12*3 + 6*3)

SA = 2*(72 + 36 + 18)

SA = 2*(126)

SA = 252 in^2

So we get the same answer either way

ben used 124.7 pounds of gravel in his front yard 110.7 pounds in his back yard.how many more pounds of gravel does ben use in h
Dovator [93]

Answer:

30.1

Step-by-step explanation:

it is subtraction because it is asking how many more pounds of gravel does Ben use in his front yard than his back yard and his front yard has a bigger number so you subtract.

136.2-106.1= 30.1

What is the answer to Q=1/2p+15, for p​
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: Q=1/2p+15,= p=2q-30= Slope = 1.000/2.000 = 0.500

 p-intercept = -30/1 = -30.00000

 q-intercept = 30/2 = 15

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    p-(2*q-30)=0  

Solve   p-2q+30  = 0

we have an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  p-2q+30  = 0 and calculate its properties

Notice that when p = 0 the value of q is 15/1 so this line "cuts" the q axis at q=15.00000

 q-intercept = 30/2  =  15

When q = 0 the value of p is -30/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the p axis at p=-30.00000

 p-intercept = -30/1  = -30.00000

Slope is defined as the change in q divided by the change in p. We note that for p=0, the value of q is 15.000 and for p=2.000, the value of q is 16.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in p (The change in p is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 16.000 - 15.000 = 1.000 in q. (The change in q is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  1.000/2.000 =  0.500

The price of a bracelet is $1.29. If the tax rate is 5%, find the total cost of<br> the bracelet
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

1.29 * 5% = 1.29 * 0.05 = 0.0645

0.0645 rounds down to 0.06

1.29 + 0.06 = 1.35

7900 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 5.5%. How much will be in the account after 11 years, to th
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

\$12,679.50

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=11\ years\\ P=\$7,900\\r=5.5\%=5.5/100=0.055

substitute in the formula above

A=7,900(1+0.055*11)

A=7,900(1.605)

A=\$12,679.50
