The cost per box of cookies is $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised from the sales of cookies is $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised from the sales of cookies and donations is $88.50

In order to determine the cost per box of cookies, take the following steps:

The first step is to determine the total sum of the boxes sold by Hannah and Mallory

Sum of the boxes sold = 14 + 22 = 36 boxes

36 boxes were sold by Hannah and Mallory

The second step is to determine the total cost of the 36 boxes sold.

Total cost of 36 boxes = total amount raised - donation

$141 - $6 = $135

The third step is to determine the total cost of each box

cost of one box = total cost of 36 boxes / total number of boxes

135 / 36 = $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

14 x $3.75 = $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised = amount raised from the sale of cookies + donation

amount raised from sales = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

22 x $3.75 = $82.50

Total amount = $82.50 + $6 = $88.50

Joe earns $425 a week for working 40 hours and an additional $20 an hour for each hour over 40. Last week, Joe made $485. Write
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Joe worked 3 hours overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = number of hours overworked

425 + 20 × t = 485

425 + 20t = 485

20t = 485 - 425

     = 60

\frac{20t}{20} = \frac{60}{20}

t = 3

\therefore Joe worked 3 hours over time.

Hope this helps :)

In a random sample of 1,000 high-school students, 29 percent indicated that they had read the Declaration of Independence at lea
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

c. Ninety-five percent of the time, the percentage of those questioned who have read the Declaration of Independence would likely be between 25 and 33 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error:

"It means the percentage difference of the result above or below the exact value."

i.e. 4 percent of margin error in the question means that the result will be either 4 percent above the 29 percent or 4 percent below the 29 percent.

OR "the result can vary upto 4 percent above or below the 29 percent."

Let me simplify the answer first in number then convert it percent to understand easily.

29 percent of 1000=  (29/100)*1000=290

4 percent of 1000=(4/100)*1000=40

If 290 students had read the declaration of independence at least once with 40 margin of error, then it means the number of students that had read declaration of independence may be 330 or 250

250 is 25% of 1000 and 330 is 33% of 1000, that is why ninety-five percent of the time, the percentage of those questioned who have read the Declaration of Independence would likely be between 25 and 33 percent.
