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

Marie made the box plot below to display a set of data. Which set of data could the box plot represent?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you want to find the data set the matches the extreme values of 5 and 35. That eliminates the 2nd and 4th choices.

Then you want to find the data set that has a median of 15. The first data set has a middle value (median) of 20, so that choice is eliminated.

The data set of the 3rd choice matches the box plot extremes, median, and quartile values.

One number is 20 times another number. The product of the two numbers is 180. Write an equation and use it to find all pairs of

nadezda [96]

Y = 20x

y • x = 180

180/x = y

180/x = 20x

180 = 20x^2

x^2 = 6

x = + or - 3

Therefore y must equal + or - 60.
