Answer:

$58.5 (profit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ariana bought 5 dozen pears at $36 per dozen.

The value of 1 dozen = $ 36

Her buying amount = $36 * 5 = $180

The value of 1 pear = $ 36/12

= $3

The value of 7 pears=  $3 * 7 = $21

She sold the remaining (53) at $4.50 each.

Her, selling amount = $4.50 * 53

= $238.50

Her profit amount = selling amount - buying amount

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen = 12 pears

12 pears = $36

1 pear = 36/12 = $3

Total Cost of Pears = No. of pears x price of 1 pear

= (5x12) x 3

= 60 x 3

= $180

Sale of Pears = Price per pear x (Total Pears bought - Rotten Pears)

= $4.50 x (5x12-7)

= $4.50 x 53

= $238.50

Profit/Loss = Sale of Pears - Total Cost of Pears

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.50

Ariana made a profit of $58.50.

Write an<br> explicit formula for<br> then<br> th<br> an.<br> term of the sequence 45, 15,5. ....
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The sequence above is a geometric sequence

For an nth in a geometric sequence

u(n) = a {r}^{n - 1}

where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 45

r = 15 / 45

The explicit formula for the sequence is

U(n) = 45(1/3)^n-1

Hope this helps you

Exspress the ratio from the simplest form 72:36
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
First, find the GCF. For these two numbers, it is 36. (Because 36 times 1 is 36 and 36 times 2 is 72)
Divide both sides by this, which gives you a
2:1 ratio

In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for theircharacter's "costumes," or appearance. Juan
Virty [35]
P\approx0.90

1) The first thing we need to do is to find the total number of visitors. This is going to be our Sample Space

31+26+2=31+28=59 Visitors altogether

2) The next thing to do is to find the favorable event. Note that we can see that 26 people purchased only one costume.

3) The final and last step is to find the probability, so we can write out the following:

P=\frac{26}{59}=0.8965\approx0.90

Thus, this is the answer: 0.90
