Answer:

700 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Total number of apples in the cart

Percentage of apples sold = 40%

Number of apples sold = Percentage of apples sold * Total number of apples in the cart

= 40% * x

= 0.4 * x

= 0.4x

Number of apples left in the cart = 420

Total number of apples in the cart = Number of apples sold + Number of apples left in the cart

x = 0.4x + 420

x - 0.4x = 420

0.6x = 420

x = 420/0.6

x = 700

x = Total number of apples in the cart = 700

Lawrence started with 700 apples

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

2 a

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible derivation:

d/dx(2 a x + 2 a y)

Differentiate the sum term by term and factor out constants:

= 2 a (d/dx(x)) + d/dx(2 a y)

The derivative of x is 1:

= d/dx(2 a y) + 1 2 a

The derivative of 2 a y is zero:

= 2 a + 0

Simplify the expression:

Answer:  2 a

What is the perimeter of the figure? <br> 229 4/9 ft<br> 229 2/3 ft<br> 230 2/3 ft <br> 231 ft
mote1985 [20]

The answer would be 230 2/3, because to get the perimeter you have to add all the sides together, 60 5/6 + 59 1/3 + 56 1/6 + 54 1/3 = 230 2/3

A student needs 3/4 pounds of modeling clay for a project. If each package has 1/8 pounds of clay how many packages of clay does
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

6 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.

8 * 0.75 = 6

This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.
