A dealer bought 3 gross buttons at $.38 a dozen. He sold the buttons at 5 cents each. How much was his profit per gross?(12 dozen equals one gross)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

Answer 2

3 x 12 = 36

.5 x 36 = 18.0

36 divided by .38 is about 94.7

18 - 94.7 = -76.7

ANSWER:

about -76.7

The tens digit is 2 less than the units digit. If the digits are reversed, the sum of the reversed number and the original number is 154. Find the original number.

Answers

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, the number is 'ab' meaning that we can write it as 10a +b

For instance 42 = 10*4 + 2

So, a = b - 2

and 10a + b + 10b + a = 154

11(a+b)=154

a+b = 154/11 = 14

We replace a by b - 2

b+b-2 = 14

2b = 14 + 2 = 16

b = 8 and then a = 6

the original number is 68.

Find the distance between the two points (-4,4) and (1,0)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

[tex] \sqrt{41} \: \: \: units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by

[tex] \sqrt{ ({x _{1} - x_{2} })^{2} + ({y_{1} } - y_{2} )^{2} } [/tex]

where

( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

So the distance between (-4,4) and (1,0) is

[tex] \sqrt{( { - 4 - 1})^{2} + ( {4 - 0})^{2} } [/tex][tex] = \sqrt{ ({ - 5})^{2} + {4}^{2} } [/tex][tex] = \sqrt{25 + 16} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

A school system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. In week 5, there were 40 dumpster loads of waste removed. In week 10, there were 30 dumpster loads removed. Assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week. A f(x) = −2x + 40. B f(x) = 2x + 40 C f(x) = −2x + 50 D f(x) = 2x + 50

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A f(x) = -2x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

it has a negative 2 because the dumps are decreasing by 2 every week and x is the amount of weeks and + 40 because that is the amount you started with.

The perimeter of a square is numerically equals to its area. Find its side and area.

Answers

Answer:

4 and 16 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square of side s = 4s and area = s² , equating gives

s² = 4s ( subtract 4s from both sides )

s² - 4s = 0 ( factor out s from each term on the left )

s(s - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for s

s = 0

s - 4 = 0 ⇒ s = 4

However, s > 0, thus s= 4

That is side = 4 units and area = 4² = 16 units²

Shelly and Terrence completed x tasks in a game. Terrence's total points were 20 less than Shelly's total. The expression below shows Terrence's total points in the game: 90x − 20

What does the first term of the expression represent?
A. The total points Shelly earned
B. The number of tasks Terrence completed
C.The sum of Shelly's and Terrence's total points
D. The number of tasks Shelly completed

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The total points Shelly earned

Step-by-step explanation:

The given details are;

The number of tasks completed by Shelly and Terrence in the game = x

The total points scored by Terrence = 20 less than the total point scored by Shelly

The expression for Terrence's total point is 90·x - 20

Let the total points Shelly earned = Y

Therefore since the total points scored by Terrence = 20 less than the total point scored by Shelly, we have;

The total points scored by Terrence = Y - 20

Comparing the two expressions for the total points scored by Terrence which are;

90·x - 20 and Y - 20 we have;

90·x - 20 = Y - 20

Adding 20 to both sides of the equation gives;

90·x - 20 + 20= Y - 20 + 20

Which gives;

90·x = Y

Therefore, the first term of the expression 90·x - 20, which is 90·x is equal to Y, which is the total points Shelly earned

The correct option is therefore the total points Shelly earned.

Answer:

A. The total points Shelly earned

A mural inspired by a photograph measures 108 inches by 180 inches. The scale of the photograph to the mural is 1.:12 in. What are the dimensions of the photograph

Answers

Answer:

108 inches and 2160 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

108 inches = 274.32 cm

180 inches = 457.2 cm

The area of the mural, A1 = 274.32 X 457.2 = 125419.1 cm²

Let the area of the photograph = A2

The scale A1 to A2,

1/12 = A1/A2

1/12 = 125419.1/A2

∴ A2 = 12 X 125419.1 = 1505029.2 cm²

For their lenghs

1/12 = L1/L2

1/12 = 457.2/L2

L2 = 12 X 457.2 = 5486.4 cm (or 2160 inches)

The width of  the photograph

1505029.2/5486.4 = 274.3 cm ( 108 inches)

Parabolic microphones are used for field audio during sports events. The microphones are manufactured such that the equation of their cross section is x=1/34y^2, in inches. The feedhorn part of the microphone is located at the focus

a. How far is the feedhorn from the edge of the parabolic surface of the microphone?

b. What is the diameter of the microphone? Explain your reasoning

c. If the diameter is increased by 5 inches, what is the new equation of the cross section of the microphone?​

Answers

Answer:

a. 8.5 in.

b. 34 in

c. x = 1/39 x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a.

x = 1/34 y^2

y^2 = 34x

Comparing with y^2 = 4px where p is the focus:

4p = 34

p = 8.5 in.

Part b.

The diameter = 4p = 34 in.

Part c.

Diameter = 4p = 34 + 5 = 39 in

The new equation is x = 1/39 x^2.

The lengths of the three sides of a triangle are 7, x+4 and 2x+1. The perimeter of the triangle is 36. What is the length of the longest side of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

Length of the longest side = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three sides of triangle

A = 7

B = x+4

C = 2x + 1

Perimeter of the triangle = 36

Find:

Length of the longest side

Computation:

We know that

Perimeter of the triangle = A + B + C

Perimeter of the triangle = 7 + x + 4 + 2x + 1

36 = 12 + 3x

24 = 3x

x = 8

So

Side B = 8 + 4 = 12 unit

Side C = 2(8) + 1 = 17 units

Length of the longest side = 17 units

Alex has a block of wood that is in the shape of a prism with the dimensions shown. He cuts a 10-cm square hole through the center of the prism. What is the volume of the remaining solid?

Answers

Answer:

1,120

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the larger figure. This can be represented using the formula for volume.

V = lwh

V = 5*18*18

V = 1620

Now, find the volume of the cut out piece of the wood. We will subtract this from the larger block.

V  = lwh

V = 5*10*10

V = 500

Subtract, and you will have your answer.

1620 - 500 = 1,120

Suppose we want to test the color distribution claim on the M&M’s website that a bag of plain M&M’s is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown. We select a sample of 400 plain M&M’s and found the following: Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131 Is there evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website? Use ????=0.05

Answers

Answer:

The claim on the M&M’s website is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Chi-square test for goodness of fit will be used in this case.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

H₀: The observed frequencies are same as the expected frequencies.

Hₐ: The observed frequencies are not same as the expected frequencies.

The test statistic is given as follows:

[tex]\chi^{2}=\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{\frac{(O_{i}-E_{i})^{2}}{E_{i}}}[/tex]

Here,

[tex]O_{i}[/tex] = Observed frequencies

[tex]E_{i}=N\times p_{i}[/tex] = Expected frequency.

The chi-square test statistic value is, 14.433.

The degrees of freedom is:

df = k - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Compute the p-value as follows:

[tex]p-value=P(\chi^{2}_{k-1} >14.433) =P(\chi^{2}_{5} >14.433) =0.013[/tex]

*Use a Chi-square table.

The significance level is, α = 0.05.

p-value = 0.013 < α = 0.05.

So, the null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% significance level.

Thus, concluding that the claim on the M&M’s website is not true.
