Answer:

<h2>  2.11¢</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to solve the weighted average price per kilowatt hour.

Step one:

The formula is  

W =∑wX/∑w

W=weighted average  

w=weights applied to x values

X=data values to be averaged

Step two:

given the total killowatt hour is 1800

the 1st = 500 at 3¢

2nd= 1000 at 2¢

3rd = (1800-1000+500) at 1¢ =(1800-1500) at 1¢ = (300) at 1¢

Step two:

Substituting into the expression we have

W =(500*3)+(1000*2)+(300*1)/500+1000+300

W=1500+2000+300/1800

W=3800/1800

W=2.11¢

The average price per kilowatt hour the utility paid to Mr. Vestas last month is 2.11¢

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 9 = -15x = [1]

x - x + 9 = -15x -x = 1

9 - 1 = -16x

8 = 16x

8/16 = 16/16x

An ice cream factory makes 29 quarts of ice cream in 5 hours. How many quarts could be made in 48 hours ? What was that rate per
Vadim26 [7]

We can easily get the quarts per hour rate by dividing the number of quarts by the number of hours:

\text{29 quarts in 5 hours} \implies \dfrac{29}{5} = 5.8 \text{ quarts in 1 hour}

Now that we have the quarts per hour rate, we can easily address the question: the factory could make

5.8\cdot 48 = 278.4

quarts in 48 hours, with a daily rate of

5.8\cdot 24 = 139.2

quarts per day

frozen [14]

Answer:

the percentage increase for bread and cake is 66.67% and 20% respectively  

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percentage increase for each bakery item is shown below:

For bread

= (25  - 15) ÷ 15

= 66.67%

For cakes

= (12 - 10) ÷ (10)

= 20%

Hence, the percentage increase for bread and cake is 66.67% and 20% respectively

What is the what is the answer
ElenaW [278]
The answer would be D. 18/6. We can figure this out because in the question, it says that each shape is worth one whole. There are three shapes so that means when added, the sum is 3 and 18/6, when reduced is 3.
I hope this helped! :-)
