Jenna sells apples and pears. If 20 apples and 60 pears re sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

There are 1,360 pears.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are P pears and A apples.

We know that:

"If 20 apples and 60 pears are sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold."

Suppose that all of these are sold after N hours, then:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

We also know that:

"if 60 apples and 20 pears are sold every hour, there will be 400 pears when all the apples are sold."

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

Then we have four equations:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

From the first one and the second one, we get:

20*N = A = 20*N = P - 400

A = P - 400

Now we have 3 equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

A = P - 400

Now we can just replace the third equation into the second one, then we get:

60*N = A = P - 400

Now we have two equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = P - 400

Now, remember that we want to find the number of pears, so we want to find the value of P.

To do it, we can take the quotient of the two equations, so we get:

(80*N)/(60*N) = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

8/6 = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

Now we can solve this for P

(8/6)*(P - 400) = P - 80

(8/6)*P - (8/6)*400 = P - 80

(8/6)*P - P = (8/6)*400 - 80

(2/6)*P = (8/6)*400 - 80

P = (6/2)*( (8/6)*400 - 80 )

P = 3*( (8/6)*400 - 80 ) = 1,360

There are 1,360 pears.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5,2) and (-8,8).

sattari [20]

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5,2) (-8,8)

equation to find slope: $\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$

$\frac{2-8}{-5+8}$ = $\frac{-6}{3}$ = $\frac{-2}{1}$ = -2

A rocking horse has a weight limit of 60pounds. What percentage of the weight limit is 33 pounds? What percentage of the weight

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The percentage is 55% when weight limit is 33 pounds.

The percentage is 190% when weight limit is 114 pounds.

The 95% of the limit weighs 57 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight limit of rocking horse = 60 pounds.

We need to find:

a) What percentage of the weight limit is 33 pounds.

b)What percentage of the weight limit is 114 pounds.

c) What weight is 95% of the limit.

Now Solving for a we get;

Weight limit = 33 pounds

Now percentage of the weight limit can be calculated by dividing given weight limit with total weight limit and then multiplying by 100 we get;

framing in equation form we get;

percentage of the weight limit = $\frac{33}{60}\times100 = 55\%$

Hence The percentage is 55% when weight limit is 33 pounds.

Now Solving for b we get;

Weight limit = 114 pounds

Now percentage of the weight limit can be calculated by dividing given weight limit with total weight limit and then multiplying by 100 we get;

framing in equation form we get;

percentage of the weight limit = $\frac{114}{60}\times100 = 190\%$

Hence The percentage is 190% when weight limit is 114 pounds.

Now Solving for c we get;

Percentage Weight = 95%

Now Amount of weight limit can be calculated by multiplying Percentage weight limit with total weight limit and then Dividing by 100 we get;

framing in equation form we get;

percentage of the weight limit = $\frac{95}{100}\times60 = 57 \pounds$

Hence The 95% of the limit weighs 57 pounds.
