The answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.

The correct answer per pound is $1.49 per pound. Kyle is correct because dividing 2.98/2= 1.49 or multiplying Kyle's answer by 2 will give you the correct amount!

Crop researchers plant 15 plots with a new variety of corn. The yields in bushels per acre are: 138.0 139.1 113.0 132.5 140.7 10

There is a relationship between confidence interval and standard deviation:
\theta=\overline{x} \pm \frac{z\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
Where \overline{x} is the mean, \sigma is standard deviation, and n is number of data points.
Every confidence interval has associated z value. This can be found online.
We need to find the standard deviation first: 
\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}
When we do all the calculations we find that:
\overline{x}=123.8\\ \sigma=11.84
Now we can find confidence intervals:
($90\%,z=1.645): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.645\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm5.0\\($95\%,z=1.960): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.960\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 5.99\\ ($99\%,z=2.576): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{2.576\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 7.87\\
We can see that as confidence interval increases so does the error margin. Z values accociated with each confidence intreval also get bigger as confidence interval increases.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet with standard deviation calculation:
