Answer:

$1000

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Price of concrete = 0.02 dollars per pound

Tax rate on concrete = 0.03 per pound

Thus, the total cost of the concrete = 0.02 + 0.03 = 0.05 dollars per pound

Since, we know,

1 pound = 0.0005 tons

As, Cost of 1 pound = $0.05

i.e. Cost of 0.0005 tons = $0.05

Then, cost of 1 ton = \frac{0.5}{0.0005} = $1000.

Hence, the cost Tommy needs to pay is $1000.

Find the interest for each loan. $252 at 8% for 2 years: ________ $400 at 2% for 6 months:________ $5,000 at 3.5% for 1 year:___
prisoha [69]
Hi there! I can help you! Okay. So to find the amount of interest, we have to do the formula prt. That means multiply the principal, which is the initial amount of money, the rate, which is the interest rate, and the amount of time, which is usually in years. With that being said, here is how the answers turn out.

$252, 8% for 2 years: $40.32
$400, 2% for 6 months: $4
$5,000, 3.5% for 1 year: $175
$6,240, 10% for 9 months: $468

For the months, we just convert those numbers into decimal. 6 months is 1/2 a year, so it would be 0.5 and 9 months is 3/4 of a year, so that decimal would be 0.75. All you have to do is multiply the amount of money by percentage (you can do it by decimal form) by amount of time, and you’ll be good.

If you double the dimensions of the tank, you also double the volume of the tank.
Therefore, volume of the new touch tank = 2000 x 2 = 4000 ft^3

Zoe has 5 pounds of potatos she has multiple recipes that require 3/4 pound of potatoes how many recipes will she be able to mak
Natali [406]
Amount of potatoes that Zoe has = 5 pounds
Quantity of potatoes that Zoe need for each recipe = 5/(3/4) 
                                                                                 = 5 * (4/3) 
                                                                                 = 20/3 
                                                                                 = 6 2/3 
From the above deduction, we can conclude that only 6 recipes can be made. The remaining amount of 2/3 will remain unused. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
