Answer:

5 bags of cement are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, if cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, to determine how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand the following calculation must be done:

Cement = 1

Sand = 3

3 = 15

1 = X

15/3 = X

5 = X

Therefore, 5 bags of cement are required.

7) David bought a computer that was 20% off the regular price of $1080. If an 8% sales tax was added to the cost of the computer
Aneli [31]
Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.

There were 3 apple, 1 mixed fruit, 2 grape, and 4 tropical fruit juice boxes in the cooler at the picnic. What is the probabilit
goldenfox [79]

There are  10  juice boxes in the cooler altogether.
2  of them are grape.

The first time Jill pulls one out with her eyes closed,
the probability that it's a grape is

                                         2 / 10 .

If that try is successful, then there are  9  boxes left in the cooler,
and one of them is grape.

If she already has one grape, and reaches in again with her eyes
closed, the probability of pulling out the second grape is

                                        1 / 9 .

The probability of both events happening in two tries is

                           (2/10) x (1/9) = 2/90 = 1/45  =  (2 and 2/9) percent .
