Answer:

Jim only found 15 of the containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If his mom hid 875 jelly beans evenly into 25 containers we can easily multiply 25 x 35 = 875, which means there were 35 jelly beans in each container.

Jim only found an amount of 385 jelly beans. To find out how many containers he found, all you have to do is divide 385 by 25 which gives us 15.4.

15.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 15. So your answer would be that Jim found only 15 out of 25 containers.

Answer:

<em /> $Average = \$873$ <em />

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1000 for 9 days

$750 for 10 days

$850 for 4 days

$900 for other days

Required

Compute the daily average

First, we need to compute the number of days her balance is $900

Assuming the billing cycle is 30 days;

$Number\ of\ days = 30 - (9 + 10 + 4)$

$Number\ of\ days = 30 - 23$

$Number\ of\ days = 7$

The Average is then calculates using:

$Average = \frac{\sum fx}{x}$

$Average = \frac{1000 * 9 + 750 * 10 + 850 * 4 + 900 * 7}{9 + 10 + 4+ 7}$

$Average = \frac{26200}{30}$

$Average = 873.333333333$

<em /> $Average = \$873$ <em> --- Approximated</em>

ruslelena [56]

we have the function

$P(x)=\ln\left|4x+1\right|+3x-x^2$

For x=2

substitute

$\begin{gathered} P(x)=\operatorname{\ln}\lvert4(2)+1\rvert+3(2)-(2)^2 \\ P(x)=\operatorname{\ln}\lvert9\rvert+2 \\ P(x)=4.20\text{ millions of dollars} \end{gathered}$

therefore

<h2>the answer is 4.20 million dollars</h2>

Answer:

x = 9

TH = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

since TM is half of HM, the equation is:

2(21 - x) = 3x - 3

42 - 2x = 3x - 3

45 = 5x

x = 9

TH = 21 - x

TH = 21 - 9

TH = 12
