Answer:

Primary consumer = 100kcal

Secondary consumer = 10kcal

Tertiary consumer = 1kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

In a food chain, transfer of energy occurs when one organism feeds on another organism. However, only 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because energy is lost as heat when the organisms perform metabolism.

In a typical food chain consisting of a producer, a primary (1st), secondary (2nd) and tertiary (3rd) consumer, if there are 1000 kcal of energy available in the producer, then:

- Primary consumer will obtain; 10% of 1000Kcal

10/100 × 1000

Primary consumer = 100kcal of energy.

- Secondary consumer will obtain as follows; 10% of 100kcal available energy

= 10/100 × 100

Secondary consumer = 10Kcal of energy.

- Tertiary consumer will obtain as follows; 10% of 10Kcal of available energy.

= 10/100 × 10

Tertiary consumer = 1 kcal of energy.

vodomira [7]

Answer:the price of jeans now is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current price of the jeans. At the local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. It means that the original price of the jeans is $15 .

Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. This means that the original price was reduced by 20%. Therefore, the current price, x would be

x = 15 - (20/100 × 15) = 15 - 3

x = $12

elixir [45]

Answer:

y = 5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with y = mx + b:  general slope-intercept form, equation of a line:

Replace m with 5, y with 8 and x with 0 (since the y-intercept is (0, 8):

8 = 5(0) + b.  Then b must be 8, and the desired equation is

y = 5x + 8
