Answer:

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 30-60-90 right triangle in this situation.

the height of this triangle is 40 meters

the opposite angle is 30 degrees.

use the tangent.

let x = distance between boat and cliff

tan 30 = 40/x

1/root (3) = 40/x

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water. If the market sells a bottle of water for $2, find the original amount
lakkis [162]

Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.

Let us say original price was $x.

Now price after markup is $2.

So we can make an equation like:

original price + markup price = price after markup

x + 60% of x =2

x + 0.6x =2

1.6x =2

dividing both sides by 1.6

x= 1.25

So original price was 1.25 dollars.

A recipe calls for 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, and 4 tsp of garlic powder. How much pepper and garlic powder would you need
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

amount of pepper required= 7.5 tsp

amount of garlic powder required = 30 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

amount of salt used for small batch of the recipe = 2 tsp

amount of pepper used for small batch of the recipe = 1 tsp

amount of garlic powder used for small batch of the recipe = 4 tsp

amount of salt used for the larger batch = 15 tsp

                                                             = 2 x 7.5 tsp

                                                             = amount of salt used for small batch the recipe x 7.5

So,

the amount of pepper needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of pepper used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                      = 7.5 x 1 tsp

                                                                       = 7.5 tsp

the amount of garlic powder needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of garlic powder used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                                          = 7.5 x 4 tsp

                                                                                          = 30 tsp
