Answer:

Therefore Josiah must sell 68 or 69 or 70 tacos in order to meet the requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Josiah owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos.

He sells each burritos for $7.50. If 79 burritos were sold.

Then the price of 79 burritos is $(7.50×79) =$592.50

Let x tacos were sold.

He sells each tacos for $5.

Then the price of x tacos is = $(x × 5)=$5x

Also given that Josiah must sell a minimum of $930 worth of tacos and burritos.

Therefore,

5x+592.50≥ 930

⇔5x≥930-592.50

⇔5x≥337.5

⇔x≥67.5

But he only has enough supplies to make 149 tacos or burrito.

He already sold 79 burrito.

So, remain space for tacos is = (149-79) = 70

So,67.5≤x≤70

∴x = 68 or 69 or 70

Therefore Josiah must sell 68 or 69 or 70 tacos in order to meet the requirement.

Colin & Brian share a lottery win of £2100 in the ratio 4 : 1. Colin then shares his part between himself, his wife & th

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin and Brian:

Ratio of 4:1.

So Colin gets $\frac{4}{4+1} = \frac{4}{5}$ of the prize.

$\frac{4*2100}{5} = 1680$

Colin got $1680. Dividing between himself, his wife and their son:

Ratio of 2:5:3.

So Colin gets $\frac{2}{2+3+5} = \frac{2}{10}$ , his wife gets $\frac{5}{2+3+5} = \frac{5}{10}$ and his son gets $\frac{3}{2+3+5} = \frac{3}{10}$

Wife:

$\frac{5*1680}{10} = 840$

His wife got $840.

Son:

$\frac{3*1680}{10} = 504$

His son got $504.

How much more does his wife get over their son?

840 - 504 = 336

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

An arena receives $1,700 per event for 12 concerts. If the costs for this sponsorship total $14,000, what is the profit margin f

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The profit margin for the concert sponsorship is 31.3725 %

Step-by-step explanation:

An arena receives for 1 event = $1700

An arena receives for 12 events = $12 \times 1700$

An arena receives for 12 events = 20400

The costs for this sponsorship total $14,000

Profit = 20400-14000

Profit =6400

Profit margin = $\frac{6400}{20400} \times 100$

Profit margin = $31.3725\%$

Hence the profit margin for the concert sponsorship is 31.3725 %

You and a friend buy two fruit smoothies and leave a tip. You split the total and your half comes to $3.60. What percent tip (in

Bezzdna [24]

the amount they paid includes the price of the two smoothies and tip

since the friends are splitting the bill in 2, then each friend pays only half the amount

each friend pays $ 3.60 each

so the total amount they both paid is 3.60 x 2 = $ 7.20

the cost of one smoothie - $3

therefore the cost of the 2 smoothies - 3 x 2 = $ 6

so they paid 7.20 but the bill was only 6 dollars

so the difference in the 2 amounts is the value of the tip they left

tip = 7.20 - 6 = 1.20

so the percentage of the tip is - tip amount / value of the bill x 100 %

percentage = 1.20 / 6.0 x 100 % = 20 %

they left 20 % of the bill as a tip
