Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.
Then the relative frequency is:
4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.
And we can assume that:
1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.
We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:
0.8*100% = 80%
0.2*100% = 20%
Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.
Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:
N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96
Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
Answer:
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Round tables = 8 seats
Rectangular tables = 12 seats
Ratio of round tables to rectangular tables = 2:1
Number of students = 336
2. How many tables are used to seat 336 students at the banquet, if no table has an empty seat?
x = Number of rectangular tables
2x = Number of round tables
Let's solve for x, using this equation:
12x + 8 (2x) = 336
12x + 16x = 336
28x = 336
x = 336/28
x = 12 ⇒ 2x = 24
12 + 24 = 36
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
Answer:
9?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 5/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll solve by elimination here. If you invert the second equation and add it to the first, 2y and -2y would cancel out.
Now just add those from top to bottom.
Nothing else needs to be done for that part. Now, you can pick either equation and use the known value of x to solve for y.
(x, y) = (3, 5/2)
Answer:
880 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
cost = 0.05(per minute) + basic fee
y = 0.05x + 15
59 = 0.05x + 15
subtract 15
44 = 0.05x
divide by 0.05
x = 880
