20% • $5.95= $1.19
150 • $1.19 = $178.50
Your answer is C.

Given, there are an average of 150 citizens eat daile in the cafeteria.

The average price of their meals = $5.95.

The discount given for sinior citizens in their meals = 20%

So we have to find 20% of $5.95 first.

20% of $5.95 = $(5.95)(\frac{20}{100} )$

= $\frac{(5.95)(20)}{100}$

= $\frac{119}{100}$

= $1.19$

So, the amount of discount given to the senior citizens = $1.19 per head.

As there are 150 cinior citizens daily.

So total discount given daily = $ $(150)(1.19)$ =$ $178.5$

So we have got the required answer.

Option C is correct here.

. Donny had a 10-foot board. He used the board to make two shelves. One shelf measured 4 feet 7 inches wide and the other shelf

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The length of the missing piece is 2 ft 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the length of the remaining piece of the board given that we have the total length of the board and two other pieces.

Mathematically, the remaining piece length can be calculated by subtracting the lengths of the known pieces

That would be;

10 ft - 4 ft 7 inches - 3 ft 2 inches

In a foot there are 12 inches

Thus

10 ft = 10 * 12 = 120 inches

4 ft 7 inches = 4(12) + 7 = 55 inches

3 ft 2 inches = 3(12) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38 inches

Thus the length of the remaining piece would now be;

120 -55 -38 = 27 inches

That is same as 24 + 3 inches

24 inches = 2 ft

So 27 inches = 2 ft 3 inches

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

You have two circles, one with radius r and the other with radius R. You wish for the difference in the areas of these two circl

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

maximum difference of radii = $(r-R)=\frac{1}{2\pi ^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that area of circle is given by

$A=\pi \times (radius)^{2}$

For circle with radius 'r' we have

$A_{1}=\pi \times (r)^{2}$

For circle with radius 'R' we have

$A_{2}=\pi \times (R)^{2}$

Now according to given condition we have

$A_{1}-A_{2}\leq \frac{5}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow \pi r^{2}-\pi R^{2}\leq \frac{5}{\pi }\\\\\Rightarrow (r^{2}-R^{2})\leq \frac{5}{\pi ^{2}}\\\\(r+R)(r-R)\leq \frac{5}{\pi ^{2}}\\\\\because (a^{2}-b^{2})=(a+b)(a-b)\\\\(r+R)=10(Given)\\\\\Rightarrow(r-R)\leq \frac{5}{10\pi ^{2}}\\\\\therefore (r-R)\leq\frac{1}{2\pi ^{2}}$

Thus maximum difference of radii = $(r-R)=\frac{1}{2\pi ^{2}}$
