A rectangular container can hold 45 candles, while a cylindrical container holds 41 candles. Each rectangular container costs th

Delvig [45]

Answer: Rectangular container is preferred to minimize the costs and there are 142 rectangular container is needed to pack 6400 candles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of candles in a rectangular container = 45

Number of candles in a cylindrical container = 41

Cost of each rectangular container = $15

Cost of each cylinder container = $16

That means ,

In case of rectangular container,

Cost of 45 candles = $15

Cost of 1 candle is given by

$\frac{15}{45}=\frac{1}{3}=\$0.33$

Similarly,

In case of cylindrical container,

Cost of 41 candles = $16

Cost of 1 candle is given by

$\frac{16}{41}=\$0.39$

So, if the company needs to package 6,400 candles , it should use <u>rectangular containers </u>to minimize costs.

Number of candle he need to pack = 6400

Number of rectangular container for 6400 candles is given by

$\frac{6400}{45}=142.2=142\ approximately.$

Hence, there are 142 rectangular container is needed to pack 6400 candles.

vfiekz [6]

we are given

In a particularly sunny month, Solaire's solar panels generated 110 percent as much power as expected.

so, we need to change percent into fraction to get our value

we can write

110%= $\frac{110}{100}$

now, we can simplify it

and we get

110%= $\frac{11}{10}$

so,

Solaire's solar panels generate $\frac{11}{10}$ of the expected amount of power.............Answer

At a bake shop, the cost of flour is $2.50 per pound and increases at a rate of $0.07 per month. The cost of cocoa is $6.00 per

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find two equations for this system, one representing flour and the other representing cocoa. For the flour, we start with $2.50, and the cost goes up .07 per month, x. The equation for that is

y = .07x + 2.50

For the cocoa, the equation is written in the exact same way, but the cost goes down. Down is a negative thing while up is a positive thing. The cost starts at $6.00 and goes down .03 per month, x. The equation for that is

y = -.03x + 6.00

Comparing the first equation to the second, the .07 is positive because the cost goes UP that amount per month and the .03 is negative because the cost goes DOWN that amount per month. Get it?

If y is cost and we are tryong to find out where the cost is the same, we are looking for when y is the same. If the first y is equal to .07x + 2.50 and the second y is equal to -.03x + 6.00, and y is equal to y, then

.07x + 2.50 = -.03x + 6.00 (this is setting the first y equal to the second y). This is the system that describes how to find the number of months x when the cost y is the same. We'll solve it just for practice.

Combining like terms we get

.10x = 3.5 so

x = 35

Now back sub in what x equals to solve for y. If x = 35, then in the first equation,

.07(35) + 2.50 = y and

y = 4.95 (you could have used the second equation and subbed in 35 for x and you will get the exact same y value. Promise!)

What this answer tells us is that 35 months after the start of this pricing, the cost of flour will be the same as the cost of cocoa. But immediately after 35 months, the costs will not be the same anymore. It is only AT 35 months. At 36 months, the costs will be different.

Type the correct answer in each box. Spell all words correctly, and use numerals instead of words for numbers. If necessary, use

Ainat [17]

Not sure about the first part but X is 11 because if 14 is congruent to x + 3 then you just do 14-3 which is 11 and then since you figured out x is 11 you just plug that into 11-y and so if it needs to equal 3 then 11-3 = 8. So basically x=11 y=8
