Steph makes scones in three flavours: cheese, fruit and plain. She makes: • 4 times as many fruit scones as cheese scones, • 3 t

imes as many plain scones as cheese scones. She sells each scone for the same price. She makes a total of £96 from the sale of all the scones. How much does she make from the sale of the plain scones?

Answer:

£6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Plain scones = x

Cheese scones = 3x

Fruits scones = 4(3x)

= 12x

Total price of scones = £96

She sells each scone for the same price.

Total price of scones = Plain scones + Cheese scones + Fruits scones

96 = x + 3x + 12x

96 = 16x

Divide both sides by 16

x = 96/16

= 6

Plain scones = x = £6

Cheese scones = 3x

= 3(6)

= £18

Fruits scones = 4(3x)

= 12x

= 12(6)

= £72

How much does she make from the sale of the plain scones?

She made £6 from the plain scones

Use the position function s(t) = −16t² + 400, which gives the height (in feet) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a
skad [1K]

Answer:

160m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The object can hit the ground when t = a; meaning that s(a) = s(t) = 0

So, 0 = -16a² + 400

16a² = 400

a² = 25

a = √25

a = 5 (positive 5 only because that's the only physical solution)

The instantaneous velocity is

v(a) = lim(t->a) [s(t) - s(a)]/[t-a)

Where s(t) = -16t² + 400

and s(a) = -16a² + 400

v(a) = Lim(t->a) [-16t² + 400 + 16a² - 400]/(t-a)

v(a) = Lim(t->a) (-16t² + 16a²)/(t-a)

v(a) = lim (t->a) -16(t² - a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t²-a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t-a)(t+a)/(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t+a)

But a = t

So, we have

v(a) = -16lim t->a 2a

v(a) = -32lim t->a (a)

v(a) = -32 * 5

v(a) = -160

Velocity = 160m/s

Anastasy [175]
Percent means per one-hundred

300(10/100)=30

So 30 of the 300 workers were satisfied with their benefits.
