Answer:

$89.64

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find your unit rate.

To do that, simply just divide what you know (cost/amount):

29.88/12

= 2.49

This means that one role of tape costs $2.49.

Now that we know that, you can simply just solve for value "c":

c = 2.49(36)

c = 89.64

How do you do series with an n
SOVA2 [1]
The problem can be solved step by step, if we know certain basic rules of summation.  Following rules assume summation limits are identical.
\sum{a+b}=\sum{a}+\sum{b}
\sum{kx}=k\sum{x}
\sum_{r=1}^n{1}=n
\sum_{r=1}^n{r}=n(n+1)/2

Armed with the above rules, we can split up the summation into simple terms:
\sum_{r=1}^n{40r-21n+8}=n
=40\sum_{r=1}^n{r}-21n\sum_{r=1}^n{1}+8\sum_{r=1}^n{1}
=40\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-21n^2+8n
=20n(n+1)-21n^2+8n
=28n-n^2

=> (a) f(x)=28n-n^2
=> f'(x)=28-2n 
=> at f'(x)=0 => x=14
Since f''(x)=-2 <0  therefore f(14) is a maximum
(b) f(x) is a maximum when n=14

(c) the maximum value of f(x) is f(14)=196

Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests. He gives them two hints. The difference o
denis23 [38]

Option D. 96 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Let the higher grade be = x

Let the lower grade be = y

As given, The difference of the two grades is 16

x-y=16 or x=16+y   .... (1)

The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52.

\frac{1x}{8}+\frac{1y}{2}=52   ... (2)

Putting the value of x=16+y in equation (2)

\frac{16+y}{8}+\frac{y}{2}=52

\frac{16+y+4y}{8}=52

\frac{16+5y}{8}=52

16+5y=416

5y=400

y=80

As x=16+y

x=16+80 = 96

Hence, higher grade is 96.

Dr. Blumen invested $5,000 part of it was invested in bonds at a rate of 6% in the rest was invested in a money market at the ra
abruzzese [7]
So... let's say the amounts invested were "a" at 6% and "b" at 7.5%.

ok.. hmm what's 6% of a? well, (6/100) * a or 0.06a.
what's 7.5% of b? well, (7.5/100) * b or 0.075b.

now... we know, whatever "a" and "b" are, they total the investment of 5000 bucks, thus a + b = 5000

and the interest yielded was 337.50, thus 0.06a + 0.075b = 337.50

thus    \bf \begin{cases}&#10;a+b=5000\implies \boxed{b}=5000-a\\&#10;0.06a+0.075b=337.50\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0.06a+0.075\left( \boxed{5000-a} \right)=337.50&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see how much was invested at 6%.

what about "b"?  well, b = 5000 - a.

= 90 - 75

= 25

Then use this difference to find the percent increase:

= Difference / Players last years * 100%

= 25 / 75 * 100%

= 33.3%
