8 ft length costs $14

Cost of 40 ft length = ?

8 ft length costs $14

To find the cost of 1 ft length,

Divide through by 8

8ft/8 length costs $14/8

1ft costs $1.75

Now, to find the cost of 40 ft length

Four friends are playing a game. They randomly choose a handful of marbles from a bag. The player with the highest ratio of blue

Monica [59]

We are given the number of Blue and Purple Marbles for each of the four friends. So first we have to find the ratio of blue marbles to purple marbles for each of them.

A) Rosa

Number of blue marbles = 10

Number of purple marbles = 12

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{10}{12}=0.833$

B) Chi

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of purple marbles = 6

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{5}{6}=0.833$

C) Alberto

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of purple marbles = 12

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{5}{12}=0.417$

D) Pedro

Number of blue marbles = 10

Number of purple marbles = 6

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{10}{6}=1.667$

From the above calculations we can see that Pedro has the highest value of ratio for blue marbles to purple marbles. Also we can see Pedro is the only one for whom the number of blue marbles is more than the number of purple marbles. So this confirms that our calculation is correct.

Thus, the player which gets to go first is Pedro.

Lindsey bought a picnic basket originally priced at $40 but on sale for 50% off. After 10% sales tax, what was the total cost?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Origianal price= $40

discount= 50%

Tax= 10%

Let us find the amount of the discount and tax

Discount

=50/100*40

=0.5*40

=$20

Tax

=10/100*40

=0.1*40

=$4

Hence the total cost is

=40-20+10

=$30
