At the amusement park, Laura paid $6.00 for a small cotton candy. Her older brother works at the park, and he told her they mark

up the cotton candy by 300%. Laura does not think this is mathematically possible. Is it possible, and if so, what is the price of the cotton candy before the markup?

I will try my best, also in middle school...

300%/100%= 3

$6.00 divided by 3 = $2.00

So, $2.00 is your answer and yes, it is mathematically possible. Hope this helps! :)

tangare [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 case- 8 cans

If you have 32 cans and you know that 1 case can have 8 cans you do this:

32:8=4 cases

Then if you have 10 cases in each you get 8 cans so it equals:

10*8=80cans

And last:

You have 96 cans and again you know that one case can contain 8 cans so it is:

96:8=12 cases

When you write that:

1. answer: 8

8 A test rocket is fired and follows a path described by y = 0.1x(200 – x). The height is y metres above
balandron [24]

Answer:

a) The rocket travels 200 meters horizontally.

b) The height of the rocket mid-flight is of 1000 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the rocket:

The height of the rocket, in meters, after an horizontal distance of x, is given by:

y = 0.1x(200 - x)

a) How far does the rocket travel horizontally?

This is x when y = 0. So

0.1x(200 - x) = 0

Then

0.1x = 0

x = 0

And

200 - x = 0

x = 200

So

The rocket travels 200 meters horizontally.

b How high does the rocket reach mid-flight?

This it the height y when x = 0, so:

y = 20*100 - 0.1*100^2 = 1000

The height of the rocket mid-flight is of 1000 meters.
