Gavin is selling water bottles at a baseball game to help raise money for new uniforms.
Before the game, he buys 48 water bottles for a total of $18.50. At the game, he sells all of
the bottles for $1.25 each. How much profit does Gavin make?

Answers

Answer 1

The profit made by Gavin at the end of the game is $0.87 per bottle.

How to calculate profit?

The profit can be calculated by taking the difference of selling price and the cost price.

Given that,

The number of bottles bought for $18.50 is 48 and sold for $1.25 each.

Then, the cost for one bottle is 18.50/48 = $0.38.

As per the question the profit made can be calculated as the difference of selling price and cost price as,

Profit = Selling price - Cost Price

         =  1.25 - 0.38

         = $0.87

Hence, the profit earned by Gavin is given as $0.87 for each bottle.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you graph the first equation y = (x + 4) it will have a x-intercept of -4 and a y-intercept of 4.  

When you replace x with (x-7) the equation will be converted into

y = ((x-7)+4)

y = x-3

When you graph this you see it has a x-intercept of 3 and a y-intercept of -3

To find the distance add the 2 x values together:

-4 + (-3) = ?

-4 -3 = ?

-7 = ?

Therefore the graph will shift units right

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When converting fractions into decimals, all you have to do is that you have to divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, we will get 16 divided by 3. If we do this, we will get 5 and 1/3. One third in decimals is 0.3333... so the answer is 5.333...

The decimal 5.33 will be equivalent to 16/3 so option (A) will be correct.

What is the arithmetic operator?

Arithmetic operators are four basic mathematical operations in which summation, subtraction, division, and multiplication involve.,

Summation = addition of two or more numbers or variable

For example = 2 + 8 + 9

Subtraction = Minus of any two or more numbers with each other called subtraction.

For example = 4 - 8

Division = divide any two numbers or variable called division.

For example 4/8

Multiplication = to multiply any two or more numbers or variables called multiplication.

For example 5 × 7.

Given the fraction of 16/3

So divide 16 by 3

16/3 = (15 + 1 )3

⇒ 15/3 + 1/3

⇒ 5 + 0.333

⇒5.3

Hence "The decimal 5.33 will be equivalent to 16/3".

Answers

Answer: Please Give Brainliest. Thank You!

The number of seventh-graders that must join the club in order to meet the president's wishes is 10.

Since there are 45 eighth graders and 20 seventh graders in a school club and the president of this club wants 40% of the club’s members to be seventh graders, we need to find the number of seventh graders that will be added to the school club to make their percentage 40 %.

Let the number of seventh-graders to be added be x.

So, the new number of seventh-graders is 20 + x and the new number of people in the club is 45 + 20 + x = 65 + x

Thus, the percentage of seventh graders in the club is thus

[tex]\frac{20 + x}{65 + x} X 100[/tex] %

Since this percentage equals 40 %, we have that

[tex]\frac{20 + x}{65 + x} X 100[/tex]% = 40 %

[tex]\frac{20 + x}{65 + x} = \frac{40}{100} \\\frac{20 + x}{65 + x} = 0.4[/tex]

Cross-multiplying we have

[tex]20 + x = 0.4(65 + x)[/tex]

Expanding the bracket, we have

[tex]20 + x = 26 + 0.4x[/tex]

Subtracting 20 from both sides we have

[tex]x = 26 - 20 + 0.4x\\x = 6 + 0.4x[/tex]

Subtracting 0.4x from both sides, we have

[tex]x - 0.4x = 6\\0.6x = 6[/tex]

dividing both sides by 0.6, we have

x = 6/0.6

x = 10

So, the number of seventh-graders that must join the club in order to meet the president's wishes is 10.

Subtract 108 from both sides we have;

2 × [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] × 14 × [tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex] = 6.6
