Answer: They are 59 members in the band

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

when lined up in 3 = 2 left.

when lined up in 4 = 3 left

when they are lined up in 5 = 4 left

when they are lined up in 6 = 5 left

Solution:

From the given data, we know the band number ends with 9, so we start with 9,29,49,59. We test till we arrive at our desired answer.

59/3 = 19 R 2.

59/4 = 14 R 3.

59/5 = 11 R 4.

59/6 = 9 R 5.

They are 59 members in the band.

Yesterday, two friends went into a bank to open savings accounts. Allie started by putting $783 in her account, and she will dep
posledela

<u>Answer:</u>

Both accounts of Nick and Allie will have same amount of $864 in time period of 4 weeks.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given, Yesterday two friends went into a bank to open savings accounts.  

Allie started by putting $783 in her account, and she will deposit an additional $27 each week.  

Nick made no initial deposit, but he will add $288 more each week.  

In a few weeks, the friends will have the same account balance.  

Here, account balance of Allie for every week forms an A.P as

783, 810, 837, ……. With common difference 27

And, account balance of nick for every week will be  

0, 288, 576, …….. with common difference 288

Let, after n weeks the balance in both accounts be equal.

Then, nth term of both series will be equal, we know that, nth term tn of A.P is a + (n – 1)d  

Where, a is first term, d is common difference and n is number of terms.

Now, nth term of allie series = nth term of nick series.

783 + (n – 1) x 27 = 0 + (n – 1) x 288  

Here, we used same n for both sides because n represents number of weeks and it is common to both

783 + 27n – 27 = 288n – 288

756 + 288 = 288n – 27n

261n = 1044

n = 4.

So, it will take 4 weeks to have same balance and now, substitute n value in nth term of nick series.

4 \text { th term }=0+(4-1) \times 288 \rightarrow 4^{\text {th }} \text { term }=3 \times 288=864

Hence, both accounts will have same amount of $864 in time period of 4 weeks

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

60/220

Step-by-step explanation:

we use combination,

(\frac{5}{1} )  \times  ( \frac{4}{1} ) \times ( \frac{3}{1} )

5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60

then, all divided by,

(\frac{12}{3}) = 220

Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off. The sales tax in her county is 6%. Let y represent the original price of the
klio [65]

Answer:

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is

1.06(0.88 y) ⇒ (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the price of an item is discounted, that mean its new price will be less its initial price
  • The taxes on item, makes its new price greater than the initial price because tax is add

Let us solve the problem

∵ Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off

→ That means the new price will (100% - 12%) of the initial price

∵ y represented the initial price of the game

→ Multiply y by (100% - 12%) to get the new price

∴ The new price = y (100% - 12%)

∴ The new price = y (88%)

→ Change 88% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The new price = y (\frac{88}{100})

∴ The new price = 0.88 y

∵ The sales tax in her county is 6%

→ That means the final cost will be (100% + 6%) of 0.88 y

∴ The final cost = (100% + 6%) × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 106% × (0.88 y)

→ Change 106% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The final cost = \frac{106}{100} × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 1.06(0.88 y)

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is 1.06(0.88 y)
