The ratio of the cost of a shirt to the cost of a jacket is 2:5. If the jacket cost $240 more than the shirt,
find the cost of the shirt and the cost of the jacket.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of the cost of a shirt to the cost of a jacket is 2:5.

The jacket cost $240 more than the shirt.

To find:

The cost of the shirt and the cost of the jacket.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of the shirt.

The jacket cost $240 more than the shirt. So, the cost of Jacket is (x+240).

The ratio of the cost of a shirt to the cost of a jacket is 2:5. So,

[tex]\dfrac{x}{x+240}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]5x=2(x+240)[/tex]

[tex]5x=2x+480[/tex]

Subtract 2x from both sides.

[tex]5x-2x=480[/tex]

[tex]3x=480[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.

[tex]x=\dfrac{480}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=160[/tex]

So, the cost of shirt is $160.

Now, the cost of jacket is:

[tex]160+240=400[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of shirt is $160 and the cost of jacket is $400.

David bought a used Dodge Challenger for $14,000. The value of the car depreciates 11% per year from the time he bought the car. Write a function that represents the value of David's car, V(t), after t years.

Answers

Answer:

V(t) = 14,000(0.89)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Present value of the Dodge Challenger = $14,000

Present percentage value = 100%

Depreciation value = 11%

Number of years = t

Future value = V(t)

V(t) = Present value of the Dodge Challenger(Present percentage value - Depreciation value)^t

= 14,000(100% - 11%)^t

= 14,000(89%)^t

= 14,000(0.89)^t

V(t) = 14,000(0.89)^t

The chance of solving a problem by A and B is and 1/3 and 2/5 respectively. What is the probability the problem will be solved?
a)2/15
b)1
c)9/15
d)11/15
Books shows "c" as the answer.. I am confused.. ​

Answers

We want to compute the probability P(A or B) because we could either solve it following path A, path B, or doing both paths.

P(A) = 1/3

P(B) = 2/5

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)  assuming A,B are independent

P(A and B) = (1/3)*(2/5)

P(A and B) = 2/15

--------

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 1/3 + 2/5 - 2/15

P(A or B) = 5/15 + 6/15 - 2/15

P(A or B) = (5 + 6 - 2)/15

P(A or B) = 9/15

We could reduce this to 3/5, but it appears your teacher has chosen not to.

the perimeter of a right angled triangle is 60 cm and its area is 120cm².find the lengths of the triangle.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of triangle given as 120 cm2

Area of Triangle = 1/2 x b x h = 120

therefore bxh = 240

240 can be factorized as 10 x 24

The perimeter of the triangle is given as 60

so the other side has to be 26 cm

As this is a right angle triangle it should satisfy pythagoras theorem

(10)2 + (24)2 = (26)2

100+576 =676

Hence the sides of the triangle are 10 cm, 24 cm and 26 cm

Find the area and the perimeter of a triangle (shown below)

PLZZZ

Answers

Answer:

A = 120, P = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle

Area = (bh)/2

A = (20x12)/2

A =240/2

A = 120

Perimeter = a + b + c

to find c, use a^2 +b^2 = c^2

20^2 + 12^2 = c^2

400 + 144 = c^2

544 = c^2

c = about 23

20 + 12 + 23 = 55

josh is standing on the top of a building that is 425 feet tall. He throws a penny up into the air with an initial of 32 ft/sec. How long does it take for the penny to hit the ground?
Y = -4.9x^2 + 32x + 425

A. 10 seconds

B. 6.25

C. 400

D. 0 seconds

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

cause it will be more faster just because it is in a solid phase or it is solid

The time taken to hit the ground is 6.25 sec.(Option B)

How to calculate time?

It is given that penny follows the trajectory:

[tex]y = -4.9x^2 + 32x + 425[/tex]

Differentiating it we get:

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx} =-9.8x+32[/tex]

At y=425, it is obvious that x=0

So dy/dx at x=0 is 32.

Now the vertical component of the velocity is 32sinФ (where Ф is the angle at which penny is thrown).

Ф[tex]=\tan^{-1}(32)[/tex]

Vertical component=[tex]32*\sin(\tan^{-1}(32))[/tex]=31.98 ft/sec

Now applying the equation of motion: acceleration=-32ft/sec^(2)

u=31.98ft/sec   s=-425   t=?

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

[tex]-425=31.98t-16t^2[/tex]

[tex]16t^2-31.98t-425=0[/tex]

Solving the quadratic equation we get:

t=6.249 sec≅6.25 sec

Therefore, the time taken is 6.25 sec.
