Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 60% of students passed , then 40% of students failed.

60% = 180 ( divide both sides by 60 )

1% = 3

Then

40% = 40 × 3 = 120

120 students failed the exam

Eva8 [605]

We know that the original price is 160 and has increased to 248. To calculate the increase, divide. But first lets find the difference 248-160 =88
$\frac{88}{160} = 0.55 = 55\%$
The percentage increase is 55%.

The student council is selling cupcakes at the school play. The cost to make the cupcakes is a fixed $75 plus $0.17 per cupcak

dedylja [7]

Answer:

C = 75 + 0.17x and R = 2x

2x - (75 + 0.17x) > 0

x ≥ 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost to make the cupcakes is a fixed $75 plus $0.17 per cupcakes made and the selling price of each cupcake is $2.00.

Part A: Now, the equation for the cost, C, for making x cupcakes is

C = 75 + 0.17x ......... (1)

Again the equation for the revenue, R, from selling x cupcakes is

R = 2x ............ (2)

Part B: So, the inequality that could be solved to find the number of cupcakes, x, that must be made and sold to make a profit is

R - C > 0

2x - (75 + 0.17x) > 0 ......... (3)

Part C: Solving inequality (3) we get

(2 - 0.17)x > 75

⇒ x > 40.98

⇒ x ≥ 41 {Since, x can not be a fraction}
