Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent $\frac{15}{16}$ of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

$\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500$

⇒ $x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}$

⇒ $x=\frac{120000}{15}\\$

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

At a campground, a rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet. What is the area of the largest circular fire that can be made in t

Ne4ueva [31]

The area of the largest circular fire that can be made in the fire pit is 452 in²

Explanation:

Given that the rectangular fire pit is 3 feet by 2 feet.

We need to determine the area of the largest circular fire that can be made in this square pit

The diameter is 2 feet.

The radius of the fire pit is 1 feet.

The area can be determined using the formula,

$A=\pi r^{2}$

Substituting $\pi=3.14$ and $r=1$ , we get,

$A=(3.14)(1)^2$

Simplifying, we get,

$A=3.14 \ ft^2$

Now, we shall convert feet to inches.

To convert feet to inches, we need to multiply it with 12.

Since, the result in square feet, we need to multiply it with 12²

Thus, we have,

$A=3.14\times12^2$

$=3.14\times144$

$A=452.16 \ in^2$

Rounding off to the nearest square inch, we have,

$A=452 \ in^2$

Hence, the area of the largest circular fire that can be made in the fire pit is 452 in²

A venue plans to host trucking events regularly throughout the year. The expected revenue from each event is $100,000. The cost

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The venue has to host 47 events throughout the year

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit:

Profit is revenue subtracted by costs.

Per event:

$100,000 revenue

$50,000 costs

$100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000 profit.

If the venue wants to make a total profit margin of $2,350,000, how many events does the venue have to host throughout the year?

1 event - $50,000 profit.

x events - $2,350,000 profit.

$50000x = 2350000$

$x = \frac{2350000}{50000}$

$x = 47$

The venue has to host 47 events throughout the year

The endpoints of JK are J(–25, 10) and K(5, –20). What is the y-coordinate of point L, which divides JK into a 7:3 ratio? a. –16

Andrews [41]

let's say the point dividing JK is say point P, so the JK segment gets split into two pieces, JP and PK

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment} \\\\\\ J(-25,10)\qquad K(5,-20)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from J to K}}{7:3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{J~~\begin{matrix} P \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{~~\begin{matrix} P \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~K} = \cfrac{7}{3}\implies \cfrac{J}{K} = \cfrac{7}{3}\implies3J=7K\implies 3(-25,10)=7(5,-20)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf P=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ P=\left(\cfrac{(3\cdot -25)+(7\cdot 5)}{7+3}\quad ,\quad \stackrel{\textit{y-coordinate}}{\cfrac{(3\cdot 10)+(7\cdot -20)}{7+3}}\right) \\\\\\ P=\left( \qquad ,\quad \cfrac{30-140}{10} \right)\implies P=\left(\qquad ,~~\cfrac{-110}{10} \right)\implies P=(\qquad ,\quad -11)$
