The goal amount of the student groups are given in percentages, which are fractions based on one hundred.

  • <u>The flutist raised more money than the trumpeters</u>
  • <u>The difference in the amounts the student raised is $256.5</u>

Reasons:

The amount the school band is raising for the trip = $9,500

Goal of the flutist = To raise 18% of the total amount

Goal of the trumpeters = 85% of the flutist's goal

Required:

The group that raise more money, given that their goals are met

Solution:

Given that the goal of the trumpeters trumpeters is 85% of the goal of the flutist, <u>the flutist raised more money</u>.

Required:

The difference in the amount raised by the students

Solution:

The amount raised by the flutist = 18% of $9,500 = 0.18 × $9,500 = $1,710

Amount the trumpeters raised = 85% of $1,710 = 0.85 × $1,710 = $1,453.5

The difference in the amount raised = $1,710 - $1,453.5 = <u>$256.5</u>

A beekeeper pours honey into jars. Each large jar holds 18 ounces of honey. Each small jar holds 12 ounces of honey. The beekeep
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: 1100 ounces because 20 × 30 + 10 × 50 = 1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of honey contained in each large jar = 18 ounces

Number of large jar filled = 32

Total amount of honey in large jars:

= 18 ounces × 32

= 576 ounces

Amount of honey contained in each small jar = 12 ounces

Number of small jars filled = 46

Total amount of honey in small jars:

= 12 ounces × 46

= 552 ounces

The total amount of hones in the jars will be the addition of the honey in the small and large jars. This will be:

= 576 ounces + 552 ounces

= 1128 ounces

The most reasonable estimate will be:

1100 ounces because 20 × 30 + 10 × 50 = 1100

In the numerical sentence below, A = 8, D = 1/2 , and F = 1/4. What are the values B, C, and E if the sentence below is equivale
a_sh-v [17]
B=3; C=16; and E=4096.

Using the information we have gives us

8^B \times C^{\frac{1}{2}} = E^{\frac{1}{4}}

We know that:
8^B = 2;&#10;\\&#10;\\C^{\frac{1}{2}}=4;&#10;\\&#10;\\E^{\frac{1}{4}}=8

We know that 2³ = 8, so B = 3.

To "undo" a square root, we square the number; 4²=16, so C = 16.

To "undo" a fourth root, we raise the answer to the fourth power; 8⁴ = 4096, so E = 4096.
