Jane paid $40 for an item after she received a 20% discount. Jane's friend says this means that the original price of the item was $48.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: she is wrong

Answer 2

Answer: her friend was wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane’s friend found that 20% of 40 is 8. Then she added $8 to the sale price: 40 + 8 = 48. Then she determined that the original amount was $48.

b. Is her friend correct? Why or why not?

Jane’s friend was incorrect. Because Jane saved 20%, she paid 80% of the original amount, so that means that 40 is 80% of the original amount.

0 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

0 10 20 30 40 50

On a snowy day, only 7/12 of the students attended Calvin Middle School. Among the students that missed school, about 4/5 students call the school to inform the school office. What was the fraction of all students that called in to inform the school about missing school this day?

Answers

Answer:

1/3  of all the students called in to inform the school about missing school this day

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 = students that call the school to inform the school office

only 7/12 attended Calvin Middle School

To get the number of students that missed Calvin Middle School = 1 -  number of students that attended Calvin Middle School

= 1 - 7/12 = (12-7) / 12

= 5 /12

The fraction of all students that called in to inform the school about missing school this day is:

5/12 x 4/5 = 1/3

The local meteorologist claims that the temperature is going to steadily drop over the next 4 hours. If the temperature changes by the same amount each hour, and it changes by a total of -28°F, how much will it change each hour? Explain how you got your answer in two or more complete sentences. plz answer with a real answer will give brainlyest

Answers

Answer:

-7°F/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total change is -28°F, and we know it took 4 hours, we just have to divide the total change by hours taken to get the change per hour.

So we do the following: [tex]\frac{-28F}{4} = -7F/h[/tex]

So the temperature changes (drops) by -7°F/hour.

A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 12000 bacteria and doubles every 6 hours. Using the formula P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}}P t ​ =P 0 ​ ⋅2 d t ​ , where P_tP t ​ is the population after t hours, P_0P 0 ​ is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time, what is the population of bacteria in the culture after 17 hours, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer:

85,524 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the population of bacteria modelled by the equation where;

[tex]P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}[/tex]

P0 is the initial population

t is the time in hours

d is the doubling time

If the culture of bacteria has an initial population of 12000 bacteria, this means that;

at t = 0, P0 = 12000

substitute into the modelled function

[tex]P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}\\\\P_t = 12000\cdot 2^{\frac{0}{d}\\\\\\P_t =12000\cdot 2^{0}\\\\P_t = 12000[/tex]

If the population doubles every 6 hours

at t = 6, Pt = 24000

[tex]P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}\\\\\\24000 = 12000\cdot 2^{\frac{6}{d}\\\\\\\\24000/12000 = 2^{\frac{6}{d}\\\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]2 = 2^{\frac{6}{d} }\\1 = 6/d\\d = 6\\[/tex]

Next is to get the population of bacteria in the culture after 17 hours

at t = 17, Pt = ?

[tex]P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}\\\\P_t = 12000\cdot 2^{\frac{17}{6}\\\\\\\\P_t = 12000\cdot 2^{ 2.833 }\\P_t = 12000\cdot 2^{ 2.833 }\\P_t = 12000 * 7.127\\P_t = 85,524.3[/tex]

Hence the population of bacteria in the culture after 17 hours, to the nearest whole number is 85,524 bacteria

At the Sunshine Bakery, 351 loaves of seven-grain bread were baked in six hours and 15 minutes. Estimate how many loaves were baked in one hour.

60
55
65
70

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 351 loaves were baked in six hours and 15 minutes.

First, let's convert the time to minutes. 6 hours is 360 minutes, so 6 hours and 15 minutes is 360 + 15 = 375 minutes.

Therefore, we can write the following ratio:

[tex]\frac{351\text{ loaves}}{375\text{ minutes}}[/tex]

We want to estimate how many loaves were baked in one hour or 60 minutes. So, we can write the following proportion:

[tex]\frac{351\text{ loaves}}{375\text{ minutes}}=\frac{x\text{ loaves}}{60\text{ minutes}}[/tex]

Note that the loaves and time align horizontally, while the rates align vertically.

Since we're estimating, let's change 351 to 350 (I'm also going to remove the words, since they're not necessary). So:

[tex]\frac{350}{375}=\frac{x}{60}[/tex]

We can reduce the left by dividing by 25. This yields:

[tex]\frac{14}{15}=\frac{x}{60}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]15x=60(14)[/tex]

Multiply and solve for x. So:

[tex]15x=840\\\Rightarrow x=56\approx55\text{ loaves}[/tex]

Therefore, approximately 55 loaves were baked in one hour.

So, our answer is B.

And we're done!

Answer:

B)  55

Step-by-step explanation:

given

351 loaves baked in 6 hrs and 15 min.

15 min x (1 hr / 60 min) = 0.25 hr

find:

Estimate how many loaves were baked in one hour.

its a ratio and proportion:

351 loaves  =    x loaves       ( just cross multiply)

 6.25 hr               1 hr.

x loaves = 351 loaves ( 1 hr.)  

                        6.25 hr.

               = 56 ------->>> say 55

Answer: 759602

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem you would replace the x with 15 and break down the answer.

[tex]x^{2} +(2 + x^{5} )[/tex]  = [tex]15^{2} + (2 + 15^{5} )[/tex]

Now that you know the equation, break it down.

15² = 225

225 + (2 + [tex]15^{5}[/tex])

After rewriting the equation, do the work inside the parenthesis.

(2 + [tex]15^{5}[/tex]) = (2 + 759,375) = 759,377

The equation will now look like this.

225 + (759,377)

B) Exactly one solution. (-3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 8 - 7x = -4x + 1

combine like terms

5x - 7x + 8 = -4x + 1

-2x + 8 = -4x + 1

add 4x to both sides

-2x + 4x + 8 = -4x + 1 + 4x

2x + 8 = 1

subtract 8 from both sides

2x + 8 - 8 = 1 - 8

2x = -7

divide both sides by 2.

x = -3.5

3.5, clearly, is only one number.

how would you substitute this equation?​

Answers

If y = x and y = z, then by substitution we can say x = z.

In this case, substitution gives us

-1/2 x - 2 = -3/2 x + 2

and we can solve for x :

3/2 x - 1/2 x = 2 + 2

x = 4

then solve for y :

y = -1/2 x - 2

y = -1/2 * 4 - 2

y = -2 - 2

y = -4

An object is thrown off a 256-foot-tall building, and the distance of the object from the ground is measured every second. The function that models the height, h, of the object after t seconds is h(t) = –16t2 + 96t + 256. Determine the time when the object hits the ground

Answers

Answer:

The object hits the ground 8 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]h(t) =-16\cdot t^{2}+96\cdot t + 256[/tex], where [tex]h[/tex] is the height of the object above the ground, measured in feet, and [tex]t[/tex] is time, measured in seconds. We notice that given expression is a second-order polynomial and hence, there are two roots, one of them corresponding to the instant when the object hits the ground. If [tex]h(t) = 0[/tex], we get the following expression:

[tex]-16\cdot t^{2}+96\cdot t +256 = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Roots are found by applying the Quadratic Formula:

[tex]t_{1,2} = \frac{-96\pm\sqrt{96^{2}-4\cdot (-16)\cdot (256)}}{2\cdot (-16)}[/tex]

[tex]t_1 = 8\,s[/tex] or [tex]t_{2} = -2[/tex]

Only the first root offer a solution that is physically reasonable. Thus, the object hits the ground 8 seconds after launch.

[tex]495-165=55m[/tex]

[tex]330=55m[/tex]
