Leftover per friend times number of friends=total left over
2/5 times number of friends=2
times both sides by 5/2
number of friends=10/2
number of friends=5

5 friends

Answer:

Hence, the numbers of friends who went to the game is:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Several friends each had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left over from the baseball game.

Let N be the total number of friends who went to the game.

So, the number of bags of peanuts they have is equal to:

(2/5)×N.

The smallest positive integer N for which (2/5)×N is also an integer is N=5.

That means they had 2 bags.

Hence, the number of friends who went to the game is : 5.

KATRIN_1 [288]
Amount of money paid by Jeremy as rent and maintenance of shop per month = $1500
Cost of raw materials and manufacturing per month = $6000
Total cost that Jeremy has to spend per month = (1500 + 6000) dollars
                                                                            = 7500 dollars
Number of individual chocolates sold = 2400
Number of chocolates sold in boxes = 50 boxes
                                                           = (12 * 50) chocolates
                                                           = 600 chocolates
Then
Total number of chocolates sold by Jeremy = 2400 + 600
                                                                       = 3000
Now
Price of each chocolate = 7500/3000 dollars
                                       = 75/30 dollars
                                       = 5/2 dollars
                                       = 2.5 dollars
Price of 600 chocolates = 600 * (5/2) dollars
                                       = 300 * 5 dollars
                                       = 1500 dollars
Price of 12 chocolates = (1500/600) * 12
                                     = 15 * 2
                                     = 30 dollars
Then
We can say that each box of chocolate should be sold at $30. All the loose chocolates should be sold at $2.5 each.

The equation y=−0.0088x2+0.79x+15 models the speed x (in miles per hour) and average gas mileage y (in miles per gallon) for a v
Neko [114]

we are given

y=-0.0088x^2+0.79x+15

where

y is average gas mileage in miles per gallon

x is speed in miles per hour

we have to find average gas mileage at a speed of 60 miles per hour

so, we have

x=60mph

now, we can plug it and find y

y=-0.0088(60)^2+0.79(60)+15

we get

y=30.72

so,

the best approximate for the average gas mileage at a speed of 60 miles per hour is 30.7 mi/gal...........Answer
