There are 40 apples in a crate.

Of 560 marbles in a bag, 65% are red and the rest are blue. After 28 red marbles are replaced with blue ones, how many blue marb

Answer: The answer is 400 blue marbles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are 560 marbles in a bag, out of which 65% are red and rest are blue.

So, number of red marbles is

$n_r=65\%\times 560=\dfrac{65}{100}\times 560=364,$

and number of blue marbles is

$n_b=560-364=196.$

Now, if 28 red marbles are replaced by blue marbles, the the new number of red and blue marbles will be

$n_r^\prime=364-28=336~~~\textup{and}~~~n_b^\prime=196+28=224.$

Now, to get 65% of the marbles blue, we need to add some more blue marbles to the bag. Let 'x' number of blue marbles are added to the bag, then

$65\%\times (560+x)=224+x\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{65}{100}\times (560+x)=224+x\\\\\Rightarrow 13(560+x)=20(224+x)\\\\\Rightarrow 7280+13x=4480+20x\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=2800\\\\\Rightarrow x=400.$

Thus, 400 blue marbles need to be added to the bag.

What do you think is another example of when a person would need to use credit or borrow money?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

You need money for employees, equipment, office space and much more. Borrowing money to start your practice is often a good idea. The debt is being used to fund something that will likely generate healthy returns, allowing you to safely make the debt payments.

hope this helps :)

In ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45. What is the value of the cosine of ∠X to the nearest hundredth?

kotegsom [21]

The value of ∠X = 58.11°, If ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

In ΔWXY, ∠Y=90°

XW = 53

YX = 28

WY = 45
