Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange

a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple 

</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span> 
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

75.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mean is 75 miles per gallon and the standard deviation is of 10 miles per gallon, it means that most values will fall between 65 and 85 miles.

The percentile 50 falls in the middle of this range, therefore, the value that represents the  50th percentile will be:

(65 +85) / 2 = 150 / 2 = 75.

William has 32 coins that are all either quarters or dimes. The coins have a value of $5.00. How many dimes does William have?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d + q = 32

.10d + .25q = 5.00

d + q = 32

10d + 25q = 500

-10d - 10q = -320

 10d + 25q = 500

15q = 180

q= 12 quarters

d + 12 = 32

d = 20 dimes

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 77 people use the gym. 62 people use the swimming pool. 65 people use the track. 27 peop
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is \frac{2}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 135 people in a sport centre.

Let the experiment be to pick a person from the sport centre who only uses exactly one of the facilities.

Total number of possible outcomes = 135

For the gym:

77 people use the gym.

27 people use the gym and the pool.

31 people use the gym and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the gym are 77 - ( 27 + 31 + 4) = 15

For the swimming pool:

62 people use the swimming pool.

27 people use the gym and the pool.

23 people use the pool and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the swimming pool are 62 - ( 27 + 23 + 4) = 8

For the tracks:

65 people use the track.

23 people use the pool and the track.

31 people use the gym and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the tracks are 65 - ( 23 + 31 + 4) = 7

A person is selected at random.

Favorable outcomes = 7 + 8 + 15 = 30

Probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities = \frac{Favorable}{Total} = \frac{30}{135}  = \frac{2}{9}.
