The number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Let the original number of books in the library be x

  • If the State Library received a three-year grant to add 69,678 books to their collection, the total number of books will be x + 69,678

  • If during a used book sale, the library sold 430 books, the remaining books will be (x+69,678) - 430 = x + 69,248

If the collection  now is five times more than the original number of books, then;

x + 69,248 = 5x

5x - x = 69,248

4x = 69,248

x = 69,248 /4

x = 17,312

Hence the number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

2 angles measure 40 degrees each, what does the third angle measure? what type of triangle is it?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Part a): 100 degrees

Part b): Isosceles Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a): Since the angle measures of all triangles add up to 180 degrees and since the other two angles are 40 degrees, which add up to 80, we can use subtraction to find the answer.

180 - 80 = 100

Part b): Since only two of the three angles in this triangle have the same measure, we can find that it is an isosceles triangle, with base angles measuring 40 degrees, and the vertex angle being 100 degrees.

1.A five - layer of cake weighs half a kilogram per layer.In each layer,the cake is decorated with icing which weighs 15g.3 cand
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:  2.815 kilograms

======================================================

Work Shown:

1 layer = 0.5 kg

5 layers = 5*(0.5 kg) = 2.5 kg

icing = 15 g = 15/1000 = 0.015 kg

1 candle = 100 g = 100/1000 = 0.1 kg

3 candles = 3*(0.1 kg) = 0.3 kg

------------------------

The five layers combine to 2.5 kg. On top of that we have 0.015 kg of icing, and then finally the three candles add 0.3 kg more weight.

The total weight is therefore: 2.5+0.015+0.3 = 2.815 kilograms
