Answer: He ended up with about 1 pound less grapes
Step-by-step explanation:
2 bags of grapes weighing 5 and two-thirds pounds each will give a total weight of:
= 2 × 5 2/3
= 2 × 17/3
= 34/3
= 11 1/3 pounds
3 bags weighing 4 and one-fifth pounds each, will give a weight of:
= 3 × 4 1/5
= 3 × 21/5
= 63/5
= 12 3/5
He ended up buying lesser grapes. This was about 12 3/5 - 11 1/3 = 1 4/15 less. This means that he ended up with about 1 pound less grapes
Answer:
89*5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
FALSE
Step-by-step explanation:
It is false because 401(k) accounts are not funded by employer's wages but <em>employees' </em>wages ; the latter voluntarily make contributions to a retirement account that is taken out of their wages before taxes . Employers on the other hand may partially or fully match a portion of these contributions.
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
Answer:
"f(x) = 4(1.02)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily"
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Complete Question:</u>
A virus that initially infected four people is spreading at a rate of 15% each week. The following function represents the weekly spread of the virus: f(x) = 4(1.15)x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the virus spreads each day and calculate this rate as a percentage.
f(x) = 4(1.15)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 1.5% daily
f(x) = 4(1.02)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily
f(x) = 4(1.157)x; spreads at a rate of approximately 2.66% daily
f(x) = 4(1.02)x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.2% daily
<u>Solution:</u>
The weekly number of people infected would be:
7 days in a week, so daily number of people infected would be:
To find daily rate, we set these 2 equations equal and solve for r:
That is 0.02*100 = 2% daily
2nd answer choice is right.
