Mathematics

Answer:

Approx. 59% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Today - 221

Yesterday - 139

difference (today - yesterday) = 82

How to find percent:

((part)/(whole)) = ((x)/(100))

In this case, the part is the difference, and the whole is the value of an item yesterday, so the equation is:

82/139 = x/100

cross multiply

8200 = 139x

Inverse operations

8200 = 139x

/139       /139

8200/139 = x

approx. 59 = x

Jean spines two spinners. The results of both spins are shown. Tell whether the events are dependent or independent. Explain you
leva [86]
Th answer is D.) The spin on the first spinner does not affect the spin on the second, so the events are dependent.

The reason D is the answer is because, no matter what one spinners results are it does not effect the other spinner and its results, so that takes out answer choices a and c. Now we're left with whether the events are independent or dependent. Well, the results are not independent because they are caused by the effect of an outward force (The person spinning the spinner). They also show the end result of the change, and we use them to record the results, so they are dependent.

Hope this helped!! :)

The number of loaves of bread purchased and the total cost of the bread in dollars can be modeled by the equation c = 3. 5b. Whi
Allisa [31]

You can use the fact that number of breads purchased cannot be negative since a customer either buys them or not and usually do not sell to the shopkeeper.(if somehow they end up selling to shop owner, then yes that will go in negative, but we'll assume it is wrong in most cases as generally shop owners are there to sell stuffs).

The third table of values matches the equation and includes only viable solutions.

<h3>What is a viable solution here?</h3>

It is talking about those solutions which are seen in real world. As stated above, a customer either buys the bread or not, thus number of breads sold will be either positive or 0(in case of no selling). Thus, we cannot have number of breads as negative.

Such solutions which are correct in the real world context here are called here as viable solutions.

<h3>Checking one by one all the tables for them being matched with table and viability</h3>

For first table, the number of breads are in negative, thus it is not going to have viable solution.

For second table, we have:

b = 0 thus c = 3.5b = 3.5 times 0 = 0 which is correctly given in second column.

b = 0.5, thus c = 3.5b = 3.5 times 0.5 =1.75 which is correctly given.

b = 1, thus c= 3.5 times 1 = 3.5 which is correctly given

b = 2001.5 thus c = 3.5 times 2001.5  = 7005.25 which is not correctly given, thus wrong.

For third table, we have:

b = 0, thus c = 3.5 \times 0 = 0, correctly given in second column.

b = 3, thus c = 3.5 \times 3 = 10.5, correctly given.

b = 6, thus c = 3.5 \times 6 = 21, correctly given.

b = 9, thus c = 3.5 \times 9 = 31.5, correctly given.

Thus, the third table of values matches the equation and includes only viable solutions.
