Answer:

It is not possible for Janet to have won 10 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of games Janet won.

We know that Nadia has won twice the number of games Janet has and the sum of the games Nadia and Janet have won together is 24.

Then, we express this situation with this equation:

So, let's check if it is possible for Janet to have won 10 games. Substitute  into the expression:

Therefore, it is not possible for Janet to have won 10 games.

Mya is a performance athlete. She wants to use a function to represent the number of calories that she burns while training, whe
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The actual number of calories that Mya burned when she

trained for 30 minutes is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an exponential function that is the best fit for the number of calories Mya burns, in function of time (minutes).

The function is:

y=45.3e^{0.0548x}

Where y: calories burned, and x: training time.

Whenever we use regression models, we have a real value and a predicted value. The difference between them, the measure we want to minimize when we adjust with this typo of models, is called residual.

In the table is shown as one of the columns.

For example, for x=10 minutes, we have a real value of 30 and a predicted value of 78.36, so the residual becomes e=30-78.36=-48.36.

e=y-\hat y=30-78.36=-48.36

For x=30 minutes, we have only the residual, that has a value of 5.53. That means that the predicted value, which we can calculate, is 5.53 below the real value.

The predicted value for x=30 is:

y(30)=45.3e^{0.0548*30}=45.3*5.18=234.47

Using the equation for the residual e, we can calcualte the actual number of calories that Mya burned in 30 minutes:

e=y-\hat y=y-234.47=5.53\\\\y=234.47+5.53\\\\y=240

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60% they having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance it
bagirrra123 [75]

The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%
