port for environmental causes. Fans Cafe is offering a reduced refill rate for soft drinks during Earth Week for anyone purchasing a Fans mug. The mug costs $2.95 filled with 16 ounces of soft drink. The refill price is $0.50. A 16-ounce drink in a disposable cup costs $0.85. What is the approximate break-even point for buying the mug and refills in comparison to buying soft drinks in disposable cups? a. (5, 7.8) c. (4, 6.7) b. (8, 0.5) d. (7, 5.95)

Let x specify the number of 16 ounce serving

 

If you buy the mug you acquire the first serving including the mug.

 

So the price of x is:

295 + 50(x - 1)

 

the x - 1 here shows that the first serving with the mug.

And then count the whole thing in cents.

The fee of throwaway cups is 85x

 

So breakeven is computed by:

295 + 50(x - 1) = 85x

295 + 50x - 50 = 85x

245 = 35x

x = 245/35 = 7

 

Checking this will give us:

mug 2.95 + 50*6 = 5.95

disposable

8.5*7 = 5.95

 

So the answer is D.

Find the area of the right triangle. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B. 150 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height

So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.

We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2

b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2

b^2 = 625 - 225

b^2 = 400

sqrt (400) = 20

The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H

.5 * 15 * 20

7.5 * 20 = 150

150 Yds

The night watchman in a factory cannot guard both the safe in back and the cash register in front. The safe contains $6000, whil
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The guard should be positioned at the safe

Step-by-step explanation:

The night watchmen should be positioned to guard whichever place gives the highest expected value to the thief.

The expected value of robbing the safe is:

EV_{s} = \$ 6000*0.2\\EV_{s} = \$ 1200

The expected value of robbing the cash register is:

EV_{r} = \$ 1000*0.8\\EV_{r} = \$ 800

Therefore, the guard should be positioned at the safe since it yields a higher expected value to the thief in case he tries to rob it.

Please help me with this
Len [333]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To first solve this problem, we need to figure out the size of an interior angle for a regular hexagon.

This can be done with the formula :

angle = \frac{(n-2)*180}{n} , with n being the number of sides

A hexagon has 6 sides so here is how we would solve for the interior angle:

\frac{(6-2)*180}{6}=120 , with n= 6 sides

Now that we know that each interior angle in the hexagon is 120 degrees, we can now turn our attention to the rhombus.

The opposite angles of the rhombus are congruent, so the two larger obtuse angles are congruent, and so are the two smaller acute angles.

It is also important to note that a rhombus is a quadrilateral, so all of its interior angles add up to 360 degrees.

Looking at the rhombus, we already know one of the angles because it is shared by the interior angle of the hexagon, so the two larger angles in the rhombus are both 120 degrees.

But what about the smaller angles? All we need to do is subtract the two larger angles form 360 and divide by 2 to find the angle.

\frac{360-2(120)}{2} = 60 , so the smaller angle in the rhombus is 60 degrees.

Now that we know both the interior angle and smaller angle of the rhombus, we can find x.

Together, angle x and the angle adjacent to it makes up an interior angle of the hexagon, so x plus that angle is going to equal to 120 degrees.

All we need to do is solve for x:

x+60=120

x=120-60

x = 60 degrees
