Answer:
Well, how many were left over? Mrs. Adams has a muffin factory and made 1 million muffins. Carl ate 2/5 or 40% or 400,000 muffins, and John ate 25. 599,975 muffins were shipped for sale. That meets the stated requirements.
Hence, we have to guess there were supposed to be no muffins left over.
In that case, Mrs. Adams baked 125/3 muffins, Carl ate 2/5 of them = 50/3, leaving 75/3 = 25 for John.
Step-by-step explanation:
x muffins baked, 2/5 eaten by Carl, 3/5 left to be eaten by John, who ate 25 before running out.
3/5 x = 25
x = 25 × 5/3 = 125/3 = 41 + 2/3
Or, Start with x muffins. Carl ate 2/5 x, leaving 3/5 x. John ate 25 with zero left over. So 3/5 x = 25.
(x - 2/5 x) - 25 = 0
3/5 x = 25
x = (5/3) × 25 = 125/3.
100% markup means the price is double what it was bought for, $30. 30x2=60 dollar sale price. A 20% commision would be $12. 60 x 0.2=12
Answer:
36 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure that is been described is a Parallelogram.
The area of a Parallelogram is = Base × Height
From the question, the Height of the Parallelogram = 4 inches
The Base of the Parallelogram is calculated as the Length or base of the rectangle + base of the triangle
= 5 inches + 4 inches
= 9 inches
Area of the Parallelogram = 9 inches × 4 inches
= 36 square inches or 36 in²

Step-by-step explanation:
If it is 20% just multiply it by five
Answer:
The slant of the ladder is 5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the attached figure to understand this situation
∵ a represents the distance from the edge to the top step
∵ The distance from the edge to the top step is 4 ft
∴ a = 4 ft
∵ b represents the distance to the house's edge from the bottom step
∵ The distance to the house's edge from the bottom step is 3 ft
∴ b = 3 ft
∵ c represents the slant of the ladder
∴ We need to find c
→ By using the Pythagoras Theorem
∵ c = 
∴ c = 
∵ 
= 5
∴ c = 5 ft
∴ The slant of the ladder is 5 ft
