Answer:

216 candies are not red

Step-by-step explanation:

300 = Total candies

28% = Percent of candies that are red

100% - 28% = 72%  

72% = Percent of candies that are NOT red

My personal preference for setting up this type of question:

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT red candies)

___ -> 28% (Red candies)

Next:

28% = 0.28

300 x 0.28 = 84

84 = Number of candies that are red

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT red candies)

84   -> 28% (Red candies)

Now:

300 - 84 = 216

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

216 -> 72% (NOT red candies)

84 -> 28% (Red candies)

216 equals the number of candies that are NOT red.

Answer:

84 are red, 216 are non red

Step-by-step explanation:

if the bag has 300 pieces, then that's 100% of the sum of red + non red candies

28/100 x 300 = 84 are red

300 - 84 = 216 are non red

a sequence of numbers begins at 400. If the pattern increases by consecutive multiples of 5 starting with 5, then find the next
bazaltina [42]

Given :

A sequence of numbers begins at 400.

To Find :

If the pattern increases by consecutive multiples of 5 starting with 5, then find the next 3 numbers in the sequence 400, ___, ___, ___ .

Solution :

This is the a question of arithmetic progression .

The first term is , a = 400 .

Now , it is given that the next numbers increase by the multiples of 5 starting with 5 .

So , common difference is , d = 5 .

Now , we know , n^{th} number in A.P is given by :

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Putting value of n = 2 , 3 , 4 .

We get :

a_2=a+(2-1)d=400+5=405\\\\a_3=a+(3-1)d = 400 + (5\times 2) = 410\\\\a_4=a+(4-1)d = 400 +(5\times 3)=415

Therefore , the next 3 numbers in the sequence is 400 , 405 , 410 , 415 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Solve -1 < x + 1 ≤ 6
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

-2<x≤5

Step-by-step :

-1<x+1≤6 So fisrt what every we do to one side we must do to the other. In this case it's a bit different since we are dealing with inequalities.

-1<x+1≤6 I would start off by isolating x in the middle.

-1<x+1≤6 I subtracted 1 from all three sides.

-1     -1   -1

Now your equation should look like this:

-2<x≤5  Now there is really nothing much we can do here since we were just trying to get x by its self.

Answer : -2<x≤5
