A single carton of juice costs $4.20. A special offer pack of 3 cartons costs $9.45. Ali bought a special offer pack instead of

3 single cartons. Calculate his percentage saving

1 cartons of juice = $4.20

3 single cartons = 4.20 * 3 = $12.60

1 pack = $9.45

He saved 12.60 - 9.45 = $3.15

So, he saved $3.15, compared to the total ($12.60)

To calculate the percentage, we will do a proportion:

3.15 (money saved) : 12.60 (total of 3 single cartons) = x (how much percentage) : 100 (total)

3.15 : 12.6 = x : 100

To calculate x, we will moltiplicate the ends (where we have known numbers) than divide all per 12.6

So

x = (3.15 * 100) / 12.60 = 315 / 12.6 = 25

So the percentage saving is 25%

Today, John ran 15 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. He wants to represent the relationship between the distance he ran, in miles

jeyben [28]

Answer:

d = 6t

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, lets change the 2 hours and 30 minutes to 2.5 hours, you could devide the time in minutes by 60 to get that number 2[hours]+( $\frac{30}{60}$ )[minutes to hours] = 2.5Hours.

Anyway, John ran 15 miles in 2.5 hours which means he ran (15÷2.5) in one hour which is equal to 6miles per hour. That means if you multiply the hours he ran by 6 you will get the miles he ran.

So the answer would be:

d = 6t

Thomas graphed the line that represents the equation y=34x.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The ordered pairs represent points on the line are

(4, 3) ⇒ C

(2, $\frac{3}{2}$ ) ⇒ D

(-8, -6) ⇒ E

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ordered pairs represent points on the line, substitute x by the x-coordinate of each point, if the value of y equals the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the line.

∵ The equation is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x

∵ The ordered pair is (8, $\frac{1}{6}$ )

→ Substitute x by 8

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (8)

∴ y = 6

∵ The value of y does not equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (8, $\frac{1}{6}$ ) does not represent a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is ( $\frac{-2}{3}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ )

→ Substitute x by $\frac{-2}{3}$

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ ( $\frac{-2}{3}$ )

∴ y = $\frac{-1}{2}$

∵ The value of y does not equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair ( $\frac{-2}{3}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ ) does not represent a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (4, 3 )

→ Substitute x by 4

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (4)

∴ y = 3

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (4, 3) represents a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (2, $\frac{3}{2}$ )

→ Substitute x by 2

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (2)

∴ y = $\frac{3}{2}$

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (2, $\frac{3}{2}$ ) represents a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (-8, -6 )

→ Substitute x by -8

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (-8)

∴ y = -6

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (-8, -6) represents a point on the line

A common assumption in modeling drug assimilation is that the blood volume in a person is a single compartment that behaves like

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

a) $\mathbf{\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 30 - 0.015 x}$

b) $\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015t}}$

c) the steady state mass of the drug is 2000 mg

d) t ≅ 153.51 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

At time t= 0

an intravenous line is inserted into a vein (into the tank) that carries a drug solution with a concentration of 500

The inflow rate is 0.06 L/min.

Assume the drug is quickly mixed thoroughly in the blood and that the volume of blood remains constant.

The objective of the question is to calculate the following :

a) Write an initial value problem that models the mass of the drug in the blood for t ≥ 0.

From above information given :

$Rate _{(in)}= 500 \ mg/L \times 0.06 \ L/min = 30 mg/min$

$Rate _{(out)}=\dfrac{x}{4} \ mg/L \times 0.06 \ L/min = 0.015x \ mg/min$

Therefore;

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = Rate_{(in)} - Rate_{(out)}$

with respect to x(0) = 0

$\mathbf{\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 30 - 0.015 x}$

b) Solve the initial value problem and graph both the mass of the drug and the concentration of the drug.

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -0.015(x - 2000)$

$\dfrac{dx}{(x - 2000)} = -0.015 \times dt$

By Using Integration Method:

$ln(x - 2000) = -0.015t + C$

$x -2000 = Ce^{(-0.015t)$

$x = 2000 + Ce^{(-0.015t)}$

However; if x(0) = 0 ;

Then

C = -2000

Therefore

$\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015t}}$

c) What is the steady-state mass of the drug in the blood?

the steady-state mass of the drug in the blood when t = infinity

$\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015 \times \infty }}$

x = 2000 - 0

x = 2000

Thus; the steady state mass of the drug is 2000 mg

d) After how many minutes does the drug mass reach 90% of its stead-state level?

After 90% of its steady state level; the mas of the drug is 90% × 2000

= 0.9 × 2000

= 1800

Hence;

$\mathbf{1800 = 2000 - 2000e^{(-0.015t)}}$

$0.1 = e^{(-0.015t)$

$ln(0.1) = -0.015t$

$t = -\dfrac{In(0.1)}{0.015}$

t = 153.5056729

t ≅ 153.51 minutes
