The cost of an apple has decreased from $0.50 to $0.40. Work out the decrease cost of an apple as a percentage.

Mathematics

Answer:

Decreased by 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x ? = 0.4

? = 0.4/0.5

? = 0.8

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

0.2 = 20%

To check, 20% of 0.5 is 0.1. 0.5 - 0.1 is 0.4. So the answer is correct.

Questions, are all in picture, please solve
Andrews [41]

The function represents a <em>cosine</em> graph with axis at y = - 1, period of 6, and amplitude of 2.5.

<h3>How to analyze sinusoidal functions</h3>

In this question we have a <em>sinusoidal</em> function, of which we are supposed to find the following variables based on given picture:

  1. Equation of the axis - Horizontal that represents the mean of the bounds of the function.
  2. Period - Horizontal distance needed between two maxima or two minima.
  3. Amplitude - Mean of the difference of the bounds of the function.
  4. Type of sinusoidal function - The function represents either a sine or a cosine if and only if trigonometric function is continuous and bounded between - 1 and 1.

Then, we have the following results:

  1. Equation of the axis: y = - 1
  2. Period: 6
  3. Amplitude: 2.5
  4. The graph may be represented by a cosine with no <em>angular</em> phase and a sine with <em>angular</em> phase, based on the following trigonometric expression:

    cos θ = sin (θ + π/2)

Theres 30 kilograms of 10% apple juice. How many kilograms of apples does it need to increase the current apple juice to 25%​?
raketka [301]

The mass of the apple juice needed to increase the initial concentration to 25% is 45 kg

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the apple juice, m = 30 kg</em>
  • <em>current percentage, = 10%</em>
  • <em>final percent after increment = 25%</em>

Let the mass added to increase the percentage to 30% = x

10% ----------------- 30 kg

25% ------------------ ?

= \frac{25 \times 30}{10} \\\\= 75 \ kg

The additional mass is calculated as;

x+ 30 = 75\\\\x = 75 - 30\\\\x = 45 \ kg

Thus, the mass of the apple juice needed to increase the initial concentration to 25% is 45 kg.

in chemistry class Andrew has earned scores of 64 69 and 73 on three tests he must maintain an average of 72
olganol [36]
You haven't told me what the question is.  But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye.  It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is

                   "What score does Andrew need on the next test
                     in order to raise his average to 72% ?"

The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck.  So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one.  I hope it's the correct question.

The average score on 4 tests is

                                     (1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .

In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be

                                         (4) x (72%)  =  288% .

Out of that total that he needs, he already has 

                            (64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%

on the first three tests.

So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score

                             (288%  -  206%)  =   82%

on the fourth one.
