We define the variables:
 c: represent the cost per pound of the apples
 In addition, we have a 5% tax
 The correct expression for the total cost will then be:
 5c + 0.05 * 5 * c 
 This expression can be rewritten in other ways:
 5 (c + 0.05c)
 5c + 0.05 (5c)
 1.05 (5c)
 Answer: 
 The correct answers are: 
 5 (c + 0.05c)
 5c + 0.05 (5c)
 1.05 (5c)

Let n be a positive integer and define [n] to be the set of the first n positive integers. That is, [n] = {1, 2, 3, . . . , n}.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: There are 2^{n-1} ways of doing this

Hi!

To solve this problem we can think in term of binary numbers. Let's start with an example:

n=5,  A = {1, 2 ,3},  B = {4,5}

We can think of A as 11100, number 1 meaning "this element is in A" and number 0 meaning "this element is not in A"

And we can think of B as 00011.

Thinking like this, the empty set is 00000, and [n] =11111 (this is the case A=empty set, B=[n])

This representation is a 5 digit binary number. There are 2^5 of these numbers. Each one of this is a possible selection of A and B. But there are repetitions: 11100 is the same selection as 00011. So we have to divide by two. The total number of ways of selecting A and B is the 2^{5-1} = 2^4.

This can be easily generalized to n bits.

There are blue, red and yellow marbles in a bag. The probability of choosing a blue marble is 1/8, and the probability of choosi
Ilya [14]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

So what I did is make 1/2 have a common denominator with 1/8. The common denominator would be 4/8. Then i added 1/8 and 4/8 and got 5/8. Then I subtracted 5/8 and 8/8 because 8/8 would be the 100% chance. Then I got 3/8. So I would then think the chance of getting a yellow marble would be 3/8 chance. I hope I helped :)

Select all ratios equivalent to 15:5.<br> 9:3<br> 6:2<br> 3:1
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

All three.

Step-by-step explanation:

All three of these ratios are equivalent to 15:5. Here's how:

Let's look at the first ratio, 9:3. Did you notice something common? 3 x 3 = 9. 9/3 = 3. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. Both of these numbers are divisible by 3,  so these ratios are equivalent.

Second. 6:2. 2 x 3 = 6. 6/3 = 2. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. See the similarity? The same applies to the next problem, number three, although it does slightly differentiate.

Third, 3:1. See, here, since the ratio is smaller than the problem, we can't multiply, since this ratio is smaller than the original number. But, it's still the same thing. A ratio is a number that compares a value to another value. This means that 3:1 is 3 compared to one. Now, let me clarify. 15:5. 3:1. These are the exact same values, except they are just written in a different form, and simplified. Since 5 x 3 = 15, we know that we can divide 15 evenly by 5, which makes it 3, and divide 5 evenly by 5, which equals one. So here we have our answer for the third problem. 5:1.

Ratios are basically division, except simplified. Every single ratio problem works this way. Once you get the hang of it, it's immensely easy. Hope this helped!

bryan has some 3 cent stamps and some 4 cent stamps. what is the least number of stamps he can combine so the value of the stamp
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The least number of stamps required is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 3 cent stamps be x and 4 cent stamps be y

We have

3x+4y=33

The minimum number is obtained when more  4 cent stamps are used

Here y cannot be greater than 8 since \frac{33}{4}

Substitute y=8

3x+4\times 8=33\\\\3x=1\\\\x=\frac{1}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=7

3x+4\times 7=33\\\\3x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=6

3x+4\times 6=33\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\=3

Possible

Hence minimum number of stamps is

=x+y\\\\=3+6\\\\=9
