The decrease is 25% so this means that 22 is 75% of the original number (100% - 25% = 75%)

Divide 22 by 75%:

22/ 0.75 = 29.3

The answer is 29.3

Reil [10]

For this case we have the following relationship:

Total cost = (Unit Cost) * (Number of meters)

Therefore, substituting values in the given equation we have:

Total cost = (10.69) * (0.70)

Total cost = $ 7,483

This means that Sid will spend $ 7,483 to do the work.

Answer:

Sid will spend about $ 7,483.

Jacks mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends an
nevsk [136]

16

Explanation:

Okay so Jack started with 50 chocolates, and ended with 2. 
The simple way to calculate it would be by realising that Jack only distributed 48 chocolates. We can find how many times 3 fits into 48 by dividing <span>48÷3=16</span>.

Using algebra, we substitute the value we want to find with x. Here what we want to find is the number of friends that were at Jack's party.

We know that he started with 50 chocolates, then distributed <span>3×</span> the number of friends present (which is x). 
We write that down as <span>50−3x</span> 
(It's minus because when chocolates are distributed, Jack is taking away from what he has.)

We know that after this, there were only 2 chocolates left, so it's 
<span>50−3x=2</span>

Then we proceed by moving all the numbers to the right until only x is left:

<span>−3x=2−50</span>
<span>−3x=−48</span>

<span>x=<span><span>−48</span><span>−3</span></span></span>

<span>x=16</span>

Conclusion: The number of people that attended the party was 16

What conclusions can you draw by comparing the mean and MAD repairs per vehicle for each type of Vehicle
trasher [3.6K]
The mean would tell you the average number of repairs per vehicle type. It is the total amount of repairs divided by the total number of vehicles.

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) describes how close the values are typically to the mean. It is an average of the distances the individual points are from the mean. Basically, it tells how spread out the data is.
