Let us say that S is the total food sales therefore we can create the following equation:

0.20 S = 625 + 0.10 S

Solving for S:

0.10 S = 625

S = 6250

 

<span>Therefore the food sales should amount to $6,250</span>

You can start with the equation of
(1/6)x8+(1/8)x6+(1/12)x X=3

Multiply by common denominator of 24 to get
32+18+2x=72

Simplify it we get
50+2x=72

Eliminate using algebra (because it’s add 50 take away the 50 on both sides)
2x=22

Because it’s X2 divide by 2 on both sides
x=11
It will take 11 days

Rom4ik [11]

Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish

1/ 10 of 40

= ( 1/10) × 40

= 4 miles

Nikki drew a rectangle with a perimeter of 18 units on a coordinate grid. Two of the vertices were (4, –3) and (–1, –3). What co
Talja [164]

Answer:

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of a rectangle (p) is:

p = 2\cdot b + 2\cdot h (1)

Where:

b - Base of the rectangle.

h - Height of the rectangle.

Let suppose that the base of the rectangle is the line segment between (4, -3) and (-1, -3). The length of the base is calculated by Pythagorean Theorem:

b = \sqrt{[(-1)-4]^{2}+[(-3)-(-3)]^{2}}

b = 5

If we know that p = 18 and b = 5, then the height of the rectangle is:

2\cdot h = p-2\cdot b

h = \frac{p-2\cdot b}{2}

h = \frac{p}{2}-b

h = 4

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)
