Answer:

Kilogram of chicken = 1

Kilogram of tilapia = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of chicken = 150 per kilo

Cost of tilapia = 100 per kilo

Number of kilos of each if total cost should not exceed 450

Let :

Number of kilo of chicken = x

Number of tilapia kilo = y

The constraint :

150x + 100y ≤ 450

We could choose some reasonable values of x and y then, test the constraint ;

If x = 1 and y = 3

150(1) + 100(3) = 450

Hence,

1 kilo of chicken with 3 kilos of tilapia offers the greatest combination of Number of kilograms of tilapia and chicken that could be purchased and still satisfy the maximum cost constraint.

David is going to buy a cooker.

valina [46]

Answer:

David should pay £48 as deposit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of cooker = £320

Deposit price of Cooker = 15%

We need to find How much money does David pay as a deposit?

For finding deposit money we will find:

15% of 320

Solving:

$15\% \ of \ 320\\=15\% \times 320\\=\frac{15}{100}\times 320 \\=48$

So, David should pay £48 as deposit.

The average heights of x number of girls and 15 boys is 123. if the average heights of boys is 125 and that of girls is 120.find

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

$x = 10$ . In other words, there number of girls is $10$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a number of measurements is equal to the sum of these measurements over the number of measurements.

$\displaystyle \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of measurements}}{\text{Number of measurements}}$ .

Rewrite to obtain:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of measurements}= (\text{Number of measurements}) \times (\text{Average}) \end{aligned}$ .

For this question:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of heights of boys} \\ &= (\text{Number of boys}) \times (\text{Average height of boys}) \\ &= 15 \times 125 = 1875\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of heights of girls} \\ &= (\text{Number of girls}) \times (\text{Average height of girls}) \\ &= x \times 120 = 120\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of boys and girls} \\ &= \text{Sum of heights of boys} + \text{Sum of heights of girls}\\ &= 1875 + 120\, x\end{aligned}$ .

On the other hand, there are $(15 + x)$ boys and girls in total. Using the formula for average:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Average height of boys and girls} \\ &= \frac{\text{Sum of heights of boys and girls}}{\text{Number of boys and girls}} \\ &= \frac{1875 + 120\, x}{15 + x}\end{aligned}$ .

From the question, this average should be equal to $123$ . In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{1875 + 120\, x}{15 + x} = 123$ .

Solve this equation for $x$ to obtain:

$1875 + 120\, x= 123\, (15 + x)$ .

$(123 - 120)\, x = 1875 - 123 \times 15$ .

$x = 10$ .

In other words, the number of girls here is $10$ .

A container in the shape of a square-based prism has a volume of 2744 cm'. What dimensions give the

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The dimensions that give the minimum surface area are:

Length = 14cm

width = 14cm

height = 14cm

And the minimum surface is:

S = 1,176 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular rectangular prism has the measures: length L, width W and height H.

The volume of this prism is:

V = L*W*H

The surface of this prism is:

S = 2*(L*W + H*L + H*W)

If the base of the prism is a square, then we have L = W

Then the equations become:

V = L*L*H = L^2*H

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*H*L)

We know that the volume of the figure is 2744 cm^3

Then:

V = 2744 cm^3 = H*(L^2)

In this equation, we can isolate H.

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2)

Now we can replace this on the surface equation:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L* (2744 cm^3)/(L^2))

S = 2*L^2 + 4(2744 cm^3)/L

Now we want to minimize the surface area, then we need to find the zeros of the first derivative of S.

S' = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

This is equal to zero when:

0 = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

0 = 4*L*L^2 - 4*(2744 cm^3)

4*(2744 cm^3) = 4*L^3

2744 cm^3 = L^3

∛(2744 cm^3) = L = 14cm

Then the length of the base that minimizes the surface is L = 14.

Then we have:

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2) = (2744 cm^3)/(14cm)^2 = 14cm

Then the surface is:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L*H) = 2*( (14cm)^2 + 2*(14cm)*(14cm)) = 1,176 cm^2
