This is a mixture problem.
Let the 9 karat gold to be mixed be x. The 18 karat would weight (200 - x). Since the total = 200g.
mass1 * karat1 + mass2*karat = total mass * total carat
Let mass1 be x g. mass 2 would be = (200 -x)
karat 1 = 9 karat 2 = 18
Total mass = 200g.
Total karat = 14.
9*x + 18*(200 -x) = 14*200
9x + 18*200 - 18*x = 14*200
18*200 + 9x - 18x = 14*200
3600 - 9x = 2800
3600 - 2800 = 9x
800 = 9x
9x = 800
x = 800/9
x ≈ 88.89
Therefore 88.89 grams of 9 karat gold must be mixed.
4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot
1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard
18 x 9 = 162 pieces

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (- 4, 6 ), thus
y = a(x + 4)² + 6
To find a substitute (- 3, 14) into the equation
14 = a(- 3 + 4)² + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
8 = a
Thus the coefficient of the x² term is a = 8
20/100 x 8000 = 1600
1600 x 3 = 4800
8000 - 4800 = 3200
The motorcycle is worth $3,200 after three years.
