96÷2=48
63-48=15

So Sam should give Peter 15 of his stamps so that Peter will have twice as many stamps as him.

Answer:

  • Sam must give Peter <u>10 stamps</u> so that Peter has twice as much as him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the exercise could be done using equations, I will teach you a much simpler method to find the answer to this type of exercise: add the stamps of Sam and Peter:

  • 96 + 63 = 159

Since one must have twice the other, you will have to divide the total value into 3 (then two parts will correspond to Peter and 1 one to Sam)

  •  159/3 = 53

With this value, <u>Sam must have only 53 stamps and give the rest to Peter, and since Sam has 63 stamps, he will have to give Peter 10, with which Peter will have 106 stamps, which is double 53</u>.

Farmer McCoy can plant either corn or soybeans. The probabilities that the next harvest prices will go up, stay the same, or go
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

McCoy should plant soybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

Let the two crops be corn and soybeans as indicated.

The profit margin for corn will be $ 30 000. However, the loss will be:

$ 35 000 - $ 30 000 = $ 5 000

For the soybean, the  profit margin will be $ 10 000.

The loss will be $ 5 000

The net balance will be given as: $ 5 000 - $ 10 000 = - $ 5 000. (This represents a gain)

Thus, soybean will be more profitable.

1. Lisa and Tomas Lopez are buying a new minivan that has a base
Dimas [21]

The question is incomplete:

Lisa and Tomas Lopez are buying a new minivan that has a base price of $22,510.the options total $8,062 and destination charge is $770. The dealer's cost is estimated to be 91% of the base price and 88% of the options.

-What is the sticker price of the vehicle?

-Find the dealer's percent of the base price.

-Find the dealer's percent of the options price.

-What is the estimated dealer's cost?

Answer:

-What is the sticker price of the vehicle? $31,342

-Find the dealer's percent of the base price: $20,484

-Find the dealer's percent of the options price: $7,094

-What is the estimated dealer's cost?  $28,348

Step-by-step explanation:

-The sticker price is the result of adding the base price plus the options plus the destination charge.

Sticker price= base price + options + destination charge

Sticker price= $22,510+$8,062+$770

Sticker price= $31,342

-Dealer's percent of the base price: It is  91% of the base price:

$22,510*91%= $20,484

-Dealer's percent of the options price: It is  88% of the options:

$8,062*88%= $7,094

-Estimated dealer's cost= Percent of base price+percent of options price+destination charge

Estimated dealer's cost= $20,484+$7,094+$770

Estimated dealer's cost=$28,348

What is the product of 8x-3 and x2- 4x +8
Dmitriy789 [7]
A product is the answer that you get when you multiply numbers together. So for this problem, you have 2 groups to multiply together. Since I cannot show a square or cubed x, I will put an x2 for x squared and an x3 for x cubed. You have to multiply each number in the first parentheses by each number in the second parentheses. Then combine any like sets.

(8x-3)(x2-4x+8)
8x3-32x2+64x-6x+12x-24
8x3-32x2+70x-24

So the answer is 8x cubed minus 32x squared plus 70x minus 24. Whew! That's a long one. Hope I didn't miss anything.
