Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of the chocolates be x.

25% of x = 6 (because 100 - 75 = 25% of chocolates left).

25/100 x x = 6

x = 600/25

x = 24

Hence, 24 is the total amount of chocolates.

What are the solutions for x when y is equal to 0 in the following quadratic

Scrat [10]

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation $y = x^2 - 13x$ , substitute $y=0$ :

$0 = x^2 - 13x$

In this case, to find the solutions of the given quadratic equation, you must factor out the variable "x". Then:

$0=x(x-13)$

Therefore, you get that the solutions of this equation are the following:

$x=0\\\\\\x-13=0\\x=13$

Then, the answer is:

$x = 0\ or\ x = 13$

This matches with the option C.

lora16 [44]

Using the y = mx + b formula

C = 225s + 3500

Then to transport 19 tons

C = 225(19) + 3500

C = 4275 + 3500

C = 7775
