How to answer this? A farmer had 455 ducks and chickens. He sold 2/5 of the ducks and bought another 104 chickens. As a result, the number of ducks is 2/3 the total number of animals in the end. (a)Find the number of chickens the farmer had at first. (b)Each duck is sold at a price of $28. How much did the farmer collect from the sale?
Answer:
(a) 25
(b) $4816
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the starting amount of ducks is d, and the starting amount of chickens is c. Since there are only ducks and chickens, we can say that d + c= 455.
Next, the farmer sells 2/5 of the ducks, so we subtract 2/5 of the ducks so that the ending duck amount is d - (2/5)d = (3/5) d
After that, the farmer buys another 104 chickens, so we add 104 chickens to the current amount of chickens to get the ending chicken number as 104+c
Given the ending duck and chicken count, we can say that the ending farm animal count (we can represent this as a) is (3/5)d + 104 + c = a
The number of ducks is 2/3 the total number of animals at the end, so (3/5)d = (2/3)a
Let's list our equations out so it is easier to solve:
d+c = 455
(3/5)d + 104 + c = a
(3/5)d = (2/3)a
We have three equations and need to solve for three variables. One common variable in all three equations is d, so it might help if we put everything in terms of d.
Starting with d+c=455, if we subtract d from both sides, we get c=455-d. We can substitute this in the second equation to get
(3/5)d + 104 + 455 - d = a
-(2/5)d + 559 = a
(3/5)d = (2/3)a
Next, we can substitute for a. If we multiply both sides by 3 and then divide by 2 in (3/5)d = (2/3)a , we get
(9/10)d = a
Substitute that in to the second equation to get
-(2/5)d + 559 = (9/10) d
-(4/10)d + 559 = (9/10) d
add (4/10)d to both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(13/10)d = 559
multiply both sides by (10/13) to isolate the coefficient
d = 430
Therefore, the starting number of ducks is 430 and the starting amount of chickens is 455-430 = 25
For (b), 2/5ths of the ducks are sold, so this is (430) * (2/5) = 172. Each duck is sold for 28 dollars, so this is 172*28=$4816 as the total price
Calculate the trade discount amount of goods with a list price of $29,000 less trade discounts of 40 1/2 / 20 1/4 / 5
Answer: $15927.183
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of good= $29,000
Trade discount = 40½ 20¼/5
The first discount will be:
= 40½ × $29000
= $11745
Then, the price after the first discount will be:
= $29000 - $11475
= $17255
Then, the second discount will be:
= $17255 × 20¼%
= $3494.14
Then, the price after the second discount will be:
= $17255 - $3494.14
= $13760.86
The third discount will be:
= $13760.86 × 5%
= $688.043
Then, the total discount will be:
= $11745 + $3494.14 + $688.043
= $15927.183
Therefore, the trade discount is $15927.183.
Simple angle please help :)
y = 42°
Because the angle at the side of right angle will also be right angle or 90°
Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°.
So, 48° + 90° + y = 180°
=> 138° + y = 180°
=> y = 180° - 138°
=> y = 42°
Angles on a straight line are 180. Therefore, 180 - 90 (right angle) = 90
Angles in a triange add to 180.
90 + 48 = 138
180 - 138 = 42
y = 42—————— (not sure if you need this, but:)
To work out x, you would do:
Angles on a straight line add to 180.
180 - 48 = 132
132/2 = 66
x = 66To work out z:
Angles in a triangle add to 180. You know x is 66, so
66 + 90 (right angle) = 156
180 - 156 = 24
z = 24Solve for x using the Quadratic Formula: x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0

What is a quadratic equation?A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0, where a and b are the coefficients, x is the variable, and c is the constant term.
Given is a quadratic equation x²+4x+4 = 0, we need to solve it using the Quadratic Formula:
The formula for the same is given by -
x = -b ± √b²-4ac / 2a
Here,
a = 1, b = 4 and c = 4
Put in the formula,
x = -4 ± √4²-4(1)(4) / 2
x = -4 ± √16-16 / 2
x = -4 ± √0 / 2
x = -4/2
x = -2
Hence, the solution of the given quadratic equation is x = -2.

Students in Mrs. Burn's science class used scales to measure the mass, in grams, of a solid. The mass of
the solid was reported as 5.7 grams, 5.8 grams, 6.2 grams, 5.9 grams, and 6.0 grams. Of the following,
which measure would best estimate the true mass of the solid?
minimum
maximum
mode
mean
Answer:
Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the mean, or the average, of the different weights that were measured, would best estimate the true mass of the solid.
This would find the average mass, which would be the most accurate estimate of the solid's actual mass.
Using the minimum, maximum, and mode will not take into account the other weights that were measured. This makes it much more inaccurate.
So, the correct answer is Mean.
Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial.
n= 64, x= 3, p= 0.04
Answer:
0.2210
Step-by-step explanation:
If p = 0.04
then 1-p = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96
So we have the probability distribution value
as;
n C r * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r)
Thus;
64 C 3 * p^3 * (1-p)^(64-3)
= 64 C3 * 0.04^3 * 0.96^61
where 64 C 3 is 64 combination 3
= 41,664 * 0.04^3 * 0.96^61
= 0.2210

A tradesman gives 4% discount on the marked price and gives 1 article free for buying every 15 articles and thus gains 35%. By how much % more is the marked price above the cost price?
Give full explanation
Answer:
Let the MP of 1 article = Rs 1
MP of 15 article = Rs 15
SP of (15+1) articles = 15 x 96/100
= Rs 14.40
CP of 16 article = 14.40/135 x 100
= Rs 32/3
CP of 1 article = 32/3x16
= Rs 2/3
Required % = 1/3 x 3/2 x 100

What is the length of QS?
=======================================================
Work Shown:
x = length of PQ
3x-20 = length of QS, since its 20 less than 3 times PQ
The triangles are similar (we can prove this through the AA similarity theorem), so we can set up a proportion like shown below to solve for x.
PT/RS = PQ/QS
6/8 = x/(3x-20)
6(3x-20) = 8x ..... cross multiplying
18x-120 = 8x
18x-8x = 120
10x = 120
x = 120/10
x = 12
So PQ is 12 units long.
This then means QS = 3x-20 = 3*12-20 = 36-20 = 16

Please answer question C.
First you can subtract y from 180 (number of degrees in a straight line) to find the value of x and z combined; 180-80=100. This means x+z=100.
Since you know that x:z is 2:3, and they add up to 100, you can find x and z. Add 2+3 (the ratios) to get 5. There are 5 parts in 100. The value of each part is 20 (divide 100/5). The value of x is 2 parts, and the value of z is 3 parts. 2 parts of 20 is 40 (multiply 2*20). 3 parts of 30 is 60 (multiply 3*20).
Now you know that x is 40 and y is 60.
You can also check your answer.
40+80+60 equals 180.

[tex]<x = 40[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree measure of a line is (180) degrees. Therefore the sum of (<x), (<y), and (<z) is (180) degrees. As per the given information (<y = 80). Moreover, it is given that the angles (x) and (z) are in the following ratio: ( (<x) : (<z) = (2) : (3) ). Call (n) the factor by which the ratio was simplified.

D
Answer:
a) 128°
b) Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up 180°
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Work out ABD
180 - 116 = 64°
→ Use the theorem 'The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the centre'
2 × 64 = 128°
→ Use the cyclic quadrilateral theorem
Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up 180°
The value of x is 128 degree when the angle CBD is of 116 degree.
What is a quadrilateral?It is a four sided polygon having four angles and four corners.
How to determine angles in a circle?Firstly we find angle ABD which is 180-116=64 Degrees because the angle at the center is twice the angle on the any point of circle.
So the value of x becomes 2*64=128 degrees.
By using the cyclic quadrilateral theorem opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral has a sum of 180 degrees.
