Answer:

92.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given:

93, 81, 94, 71, 89, 92, 94, 99

Put the data in the ascending order:

71, 81, 89, 92, 93, 94, 94, 99

Since the data size is even, the median is the average of middle two:

median = (92 + 93)/2 = 92.5

A jeweler wants to make 14 grams of an alloy that is precisely 75% gold.. The jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, &a

Goryan [66]

Given that the jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, and 82% gold.

As he wants to make 14 grams of an alloy by adding two different alloys that is precisely 75% gold, so one alloy must have a percentage of gold more than 75%.

One alloy is 82% gold and, the second can be chosen between 25% gold, 50% gold, so there are two cases.

Case 1: 82% gold + 50% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 50% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 50% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times y \\\\$

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times (14-x)$ [as x+y=14]

$\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times14-50\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 32 \times x + 50 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 32 \times x =75 \times 14 - 50 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(25 \times 14)/32=10.9375$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-10.9375=3.0625$ grams.

Hence, 10.9375 grams of 82% gold and 3.0625 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

Case 2: 82% gold + 25% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 25% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 25% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times y \\\\\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times (14-x) \\\\ \Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times14-25\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 57 \times x + 25 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 57 \times x =75 \times 14 - 25 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(50 \times 14)/57=12.28$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-12.28=1.72$ grams.

Hence, 12.28 grams of 82% gold and 1.72 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

Need help with this pls (Show work pls!!)

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

This is my first time on this app but this question doesn’t look to hard i’m ok at math but not that good at showing my work

Isosceles triangles have to equal sides

and each side is 5 cm greater than the base

you know the perimeter is 46

i would use basic algebra

x = base

46 = 2(x +5) + x

the 2(x +5) is the equal sides

46 = 2(x+5) + x

using distributive property

46 = 2x + 10 + x

add the common variable

46 = 3x + 10

now it’s easy

3x = 46 - 10

3x = 36

x = 36 / 3

x = 12

now that we got x (base)

we know that the equal sides are 5 cm longer than the base

12 + 5 = 17

since there are 2 sides and they are equal they are both 17

so each side of the triangle would be
1. 17 cm
2. 17 cm
3. 12 cm

to check you should be able to add them all together and get 46

17 + 17 + 12 = 46
