Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this backwards.

Since we know that Sally ended up with 9 boxes of strawberries, and sold half of the remaining strawberries, she must've had 18 boxes. Adding the 5 boxes from the beginning gets us 18+5=23

You also could've wrote an equation.

x=boxes of strawberries

x the total amount of boxes in the beginning of the day

x-5 the 5 boxes she sold

(x-5)/2 half of the remaining boxes sold

(x-5)/2=9 the amount left

A circle has an area of 40 square inches. Find the radius to 2 decimal places.
Oksanka [162]

The area of a circle is given by

A=\pi r^2

We can solve this equation for r: divide both sides by pi:

r^2=\dfrac{A}{\pi}

Consider the (positive) square root of both sides:

r = \sqrt{\dfrac{A}{\pi}}

So, in your case, we have

r = \sqrt{\dfrac{40}{\pi}}\approx 3.57

birute deposite $500 In a savings account with a simple interest rate of 1.3% . how could you use this information to find the i
vladimir2022 [97]

Money Birute deposited in a savings account = $500

Rate of simple interest per annum = 1.3%

▪︎We need to find the interest she will earn in 4 years.

We know that :

\tt \: \color{hotpink}simple \: interest \color{plum}=  \frac{principal \times rate \times time}{100}

In this case :

Principal = $500

Rate = 1.3%

Time = 4 years

Which means :

The simple interest she will earn in 4 years :

= \tt \frac{500 \times 1.3 \times 4}{100}

= \tt \frac{2600}{100}

\color{plum} = \tt\bold{\$26}

Thus, the simple interest she will earn in 4 years = $26

Amount = Principal + Interest

Amount she will gain after 4 years :

=\tt 500 + 26

\color{plum} = \tt\bold{\$526}

Thus, the amount she will gain after 4 years = $526

Amount change in her account = 526 - 500 = 26

We know that :

\tt \: \color{hotpink}percentage \: of \:  change\color{plum} =  \frac{change}{original \: price}  \times 100

Which means :

Percentage of change in her savings account :

=\tt  \frac{26}{500} \times 100

=\tt  \frac{26 \times 100}{500}

=  \tt\frac{2600}{500}

\color{plum} = \bold{\tt\bold{5.2\%}}

<h2>○=> Therefore :</h2>

▪︎Simple interest after 4 years = $26

▪︎Money she will earn after 4 years = $526

▪︎Percentage of change in her savings account = 5.2%
