<h2>Answer:</h2>

Hence, the grapefruit is 20% heavier than the apple.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let the weight of orange be x.

This means that the weight of grapefruit is:

        1.08x

( Since grapefruit is: 8% heavier than orange )

Also, the weight of apple is 10% lighter than apple.

This means that the weight of apple is: 0.90 x

Hence, the percent change in the weight of grapefruit as compared to apple is calculated by:

             =\dfrac{1.08x-0.90x}{0.90x}\times 100\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.18x}{0.90x}\times 100\\\\\\=\dfrac{18}{90}\times 100\\\\\\=20\%

Find the Perimeter of this shape. Can someone explain to me how to find the perimeter.
Agata [3.3K]
The little lines in each side show that the sides are the same length but you also need to find the length of the smaller side which isn’t the same. For this imagine that the shape is split into a square and a triangle and you need to find the long side of the triangle using Pythagoras
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + 20^2 = 800
Square root of 800 = 28.3
Then do 28.3-20=8.3
So I think the answer is 20+20+20+20+20+8.3=108.3 cm

CRITICAL THINKING A local zoo employs 36 people to take care of the animals each day. At most, 24 of the employees work full tim
k0ka [10]

We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.

36 = 24 + 12

If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

_____

You can write the inequality in two stages.

  1. First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
  2. Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.

Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given

... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.

... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given

... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.

... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24

... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality

An angle measuring (525n)° is in standard position. For which value of n will the terminal side fall along the negative portion
Mazyrski [523]

For n=2,

put the value 2 in the above equation we get 525*2=1050°.

1050° angle takes 2 complete revolution and then makes an angle of 330° which will fall in the negative portion of y-axis.


For n=6,

put the value 6 in the above equation we get 525*6=3150°.

3150° angle takes 8 complete revolution and then makes an angle of 270° which will fall along negative y-axis.
