A hotel charges $20 for the use of its dining room and $2.50 a plate for each dinner. an association gives a dinner and charges

$3 a plate but invites for non paying guests. if each person has one plate, how many paying persons must attend for the association to collect the exact amount to pay the hotel?

Answer: 64 paying persons must attend for the association to collect the exact amount to pay the hotel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of paying guests that would attend the occasion.

The hotel charges $20 for the use of its dining room and $2.50 a plate for each dinner. This means that the total charge for x paying guests would be

2.5x + 20

The association gives a dinner and charges $3 a plate but invites four non paying guests. If each one has a plate and 4 guests are not paying, then the revenue that can be generated would be

3(x - 4)

For the association to collect the exact amount to pay the hotel, the number of paying persons that must attend would be

2.5x + 20 = 3(x - 4)

2.5x + 20 = 3x - 12

3x - 2.5 = 20 + 12

0.5x = 32

x = 32/0.5

x = 64

otez555 [7]

Answer: (0.132132, 0.274368)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A simple random sample of 123 people living in Gastown and finds that 25 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.

i.e. n= 123

\hat{p}=\dfrac{25}{123}\approx0.203252

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval for population :

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}

0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}\\\\\0.203252\pm0.071118\\\\=(0.20325-0.071118,\ 0.203252+0.071118)\\\\=(0.132132,\ 0.274368)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line : (0.132132, 0.274368)

The hypotenuse of a 45 -45° -90° triangle measures 18 cm. What is the length of one leg of the triangle?
sdas [7]
<h2>Steps</h2>

So the 45-45-90 triangle is considered to be a "special triangle" and has a rule with it. If the legs are x, then the hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know that the hypotenuse is 18, this means we can set up our equation as such:

x\sqrt{2} =18

From here we can solve for x. Firstly, divide both sides by √2.

x=\frac{18}{\sqrt{2}}

Next, we want to simplify this expression and to do that we first have to rationalize the denominator. With the right side, multiply the numerator and denominator by √2:

\frac{18}{\sqrt{2}}*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{18\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\\\x=\frac{18\sqrt{2}}{2}

Next, divide:

x=9\sqrt{2}

<h2>Answer</h2>

<u>In short, the length of one leg of the triangle is 9√2 cm.</u>

Gianna is going to throw a ball from the top floor of her middle school. When she throws the ball from 32feet above the ground,
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

There are two times for the ball to reach a height of 64 feet:

1 second after thrown ⇒ the ball moves upward

2 seconds after thrown ⇒ the ball moves downward

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the function to solve the problem

- h(t) models the height of the ball above the ground as a function

 of the time t

- h(t) = -16t² + 48t + 32

- Where h(t) is the height of the ball from the ground after t seconds

- The ball is thrown upward with initial velocity 48 feet/second

- The ball is thrown from height 32 feet above the ground

- The acceleration of the gravity is -32 feet/sec²

- To find the time when the height of the ball is above the ground

  by 64 feet substitute h by 64

∵ h(t) = -16t² + 48t + 32

∵ h = 64

∴ 64 = -16t² + 48t + 32 ⇒ subtract 64 from both sides

∴ 0 = -16t² + 48t - 32 ⇒ multiply the both sides by -1

∴ 16t² - 48t + 32 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by 16 because all terms have

  16 as a common factor

∴ t² - 3t + 2 = 0 ⇒ factorize it

∴ (t - 2)(t - 1) = 0

- Equate each bracket by zero to find t

∴ t - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ t = 2

- OR

∴ t - 1 = 0 ⇒ add 1 to both sides

∴ t = 1

- That means the ball will be at height 64 feet after 1 second when it

 moves up and again at height 64 feet after 2 seconds when it

 moves down

* There are two times for the ball to reach a height of 64 feet

  1 second after thrown ⇒ the ball moves upward

  2 seconds after thrown ⇒ the ball moves downward

Tony wants to plant no more than 400 acres of corn and soybeans. He earns $300 per acre of soybeans and $200 for corn. He needs
inna [77]
In this item, we let x be the number of corns and Y represent soybeans. The sum of these variables is 400. This is represented by the equation,
                                             x + y = 400
The amount that needs to be earn by Tony is then represented by,
                                            200x + 300y ≥ $60,000
