This question is not correct because one of its options was not written correctly.

Correct question:

Jackie bought a 3-pack of tubes of glue. She used 0.27 ounce of the glue from the 3-pack

and had 1.35 ounces left in total. Which describes a way to determine the number of ounces

sold in each tube of glue?

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

b) Divide 1.35 by 3 and then subtract 0.27 from the quotient.

c) Subtract 0.27 from 1.35 and the divide the difference by 3.

d) Solve for w in the equation 3 (x - 0.27) = 1.35.

Answer:

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that 0.27 ounces of glue was sold from a 3 pack glue and we have 1.35 ounces of glue left in total.

The first step would be represent the 3 pack of glue as 3x where x represents each pack of the glue.

Therefore, mathematically, we have the Algebraic equation:

3x - 0.27 = 1.35..... Equation 1

This is because when we solve for x, we would be able to find the number of ounces sold in each tube.

Solving for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x = 1.35 + 0.27

3x = 1.62 ...... Equation 2

3x = The three pack tube containing the glue.

Where x represents each of the tubes.

This means, the three pack tube contained 1.62 ounces of glue.

To find out he amount of glue sold from each pack, we go back to our equation 2

3x = 1.62

x = 1.62 ÷ 3

x = 0.54 ounces.

This means from each tubes, 0.54 ounces of glue was sold.

Therefore, Option a) "Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35" is correct.

The California State University (CSU) system consists of 23 campuses, from San Diego State in the south to Humboldt State near t

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

For this case since since they not want to differentiate between the campuses, so is good to use a simple random sampling or SRS, that is a procedure in order to select a sample of size n from a population of size N known, and each element of the population have the sample probability of being selected $p=\frac{1}{N}$

So then the administrator can select a random sample of n students from all the campuses from the CSU University and obtain the distance from hometwon to campuses for the selected sample and then calculate the average and use this to inference.

Other possibility is use a systematic random sampling for example they can define a random number k and they can select 1 student each k individuals and then create a random sample of size n and calculate the average for this in order to do inference.

The convenience sampling is not too useful since is not a probabilistic method.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can clasify this study as an enumerative study and inferential since they want to identify the average distance between the hometowns of students and their campuses.

For this case the sampling frame represent all the 23 campuses, and is known for the researcher,

The convenience sampling is not too useful since is not a probabilistic method.

A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers. Total ales of mowers for the year were $8379.70. The total number of mower

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The number of small mowers are 19 and the large mowers are 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers. Total sales of mowers for the year were $8379.70. The total number of mowers sold the 30. The small mower cost $249.99 and the large mower costs $329.99.

Now, to find the number of each type of mower sold.

Let the number of small mower be $x.$

And the number of large mower be $y.$

So, total number of mowers are:

$x+y=30$

$x=30-y\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total sales of mowers are:

$249.99(x)+329.99(y)=8379.70$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1) we get:

$249.99(30-y)+329.99y=8379.70$

$7499.7-249.99y+329.99y=8379.70$

$7499.7+80y=8379.70$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 7499.7 we get:</em>

$80y=880$

<em>Dividing both sides by 80 we get:</em>

$y=11.$

The number of large mower = 11.

Now, to get the number of small mowers we substitute the value of $y$ in equation ( 1 ):

$x=30-y\\x=30-11\\x=19.$

The number of small mower = 19.

Therefore, the number of small mowers are 19 and the large mowers are 11.

vladimir2022 [97]

Given that the basket of watermelons sells for $9 before tax and the tax rate is 9%.

The tax on the basket of watermelons is given by

$\frac{9\%}{100\%} \times\$9=0.09\times\$9 \\ \\ =\$0.81$

Therefore, the total price Tiffany pays for the basket of watermelons is $9 + $0.81 = $9.81
