Pens cost 15 pence each.

Mathematics
1 answer:
ch4aika [34]1 year ago

Answer:

The amount the school pays is £32.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each pen = 15 pence

The cost of each ruler = 20 pence

The number of pens bought by the school = 150

The number of rulers bought by the school = 90

The cost reduction (discount) on the items bought = 1/5

Therefore, we have;

The total cost of the pens bought by the school = 150 × 15 = 2250 = £22.50

The total cost of the rulers bought by the school = 90 × 20 = 1800 = £18.00

The total cost of the writing materials (rulers and pens) bought by the school = £22.50 + £18.00 = £40.50

The discount = 1/5 total cost reduction = 1/5×£40.50  = $8.10

The amount the school pays = The total cost of the writing materials - The discount

The amount the school pays = £40.50 - $8.10 =  £32.40

The amount the school pays =  £32.40.

What is the horizontal asymptote for y(t) for the differential equation dy dt equals the product of 2 times y and the quantity 1
marta [7]
First, we need to solve the differential equation.
\frac{d}{dt}\left(y\right)=2y\left(1-\frac{y}{8}\right)
This a separable ODE. We can rewrite it like this:
-\frac{4}{y^2-8y}{dy}=dt
Now we integrate both sides.
\int \:-\frac{4}{y^2-8y}dy=\int \:dt
We get:
\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|\frac{y-4}{4}+1\right|-\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|\frac{y-4}{4}-1\right|=t+c_1
When we solve for y we get our solution:
y=\frac{8e^{c_1+2t}}{e^{c_1+2t}-1}
To find out if we have any horizontal asymptotes we must find the limits as x goes to infinity and minus infinity. 
It is easy to see that when x goes to minus infinity our function goes to zero.
When x goes to plus infinity we have the following:
$$\lim_{x\to\infty} f(x)$$=y=\frac{8e^{c_1+\infty}}{e^{c_1+\infty}-1} = 8
When you are calculating limits like this you always look at the fastest growing function in denominator and numerator and then act like they are constants. 
So our asymptote is at y=8.

Ian added to his chicken soup 4 cups of egg noodles containing 13.24 grams of fat. He calculated that each cup of egg noodles ha
Pavel [41]

Answer: Ian's calculation was wrong.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: the amount of fat in 4 cups of chicken soup= 13.24\ grams\approx13\ grams

Then, the estimated amount of fat in 1 cup of chicken soup=\frac{13}{4}

Now, to divide 13 by 4 we can use estimation that 13 is near to 12 anhd 12 divided by 4 is 3.

Therefore, the estimated amount of fat in 1 cup of chicken soup =3

But Ian calculated that the amount of fat in 1 cup soup = 0.331 which is estimated to 0.

Therefore, Ian's calculation was wrong.
