Four sisters bought a present for their mother. They received a 10% discount on the original price of the gift. After the discou

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the original price of the gift

(10% of x) is the value of the discount

(10% of x) = 10/100 . x = 0.1 x

0.1 x is the value of the discount

x - (10% of x) is what was paid, after the discount

x - 0.1 x = 0.9 x

0.9 x is what was paid

4 children paid $9/each

4 times $9 = $36

$36 is the total amount that was paid by the children

$36 = 0.9 x

$36 / 0.9 = x

x = $36 / 0.9 = 360 / 9

x = 40

Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with simplifying numeric expressions. For example, compare

larisa [96]

<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>

6 Questions answered for 30 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer for the 1st Question,

Area of a cylinder can be calculated by,

Area of the cylindrical part = $2\pi rL$

Area of the parts that cover the open parts of cylinder = $2\pi r^2$

Therefor Total are of the cylinder = $2\pi rL+2\pi r^2$

Area of the total cylinder = $2*3.14*6.8*14.2+2*3.14*6.8^2$

= $896.784$

<u>Therefor best estimate will be D) 923 in^2</u>

Answer for the 2nd Question,

ABC is a triangle.

By Pythagorean theorem it says,

$(AC)^2+(CB)^2=(AB)^2$

The distance from A to C = 6

The distance from C to B = 5

$(AC)^2=6^2=36$

$(CB)^2=5^2=25$

$(AC)^2+(CB)^2=(AB)^2=36+25=61$

Therefor $(AB)^2=61\\(AB)=\sqrt{61}$

<u>Therefor Answer is D) Sqr 61</u>

Answer to Question 3

To find the trend you can draw an imaginary line that fits the scatter plots.(I have attached a image drawing the imaginary lines)

Then the revenue can be calculated by calculating the area covered by the imaginary line drawn or area "under" the curve.

Area of the Store 1 = $\frac{1}{2} *(110+40)*110=8250$

Area of the Store 2= $\frac{1}{2} *110*80=4400$

Therefore Revenue from Store 1 = $8250

Revenue from Store 2 = $4400

<u>Answer is A) Store 1 has more sales revenue</u>

Answer for Question 4

$\frac{5}{12}=0.4167\\\frac{5}{11}=0.4545$

You can straight away discard answer D because it is less than both 5/12 and 5/11.

Also you can discard Answer C because 25/264 is very small (less than 1/10=0.1)

$\frac{11}{23} =0.4782$ , therefor this is not in between those two numbers.

Then it has to be $\frac{115}{264} =0.4356$

<u>Answer is B)</u>

Answer for question 6

The equation of a straight line is of the form $y=mx+c$

here m is the gradient and c is the intercept.

Find the intercept(c) by finding the y value when x value is 0, here it is +1.

Gradient (m) of the graph can be found by,

$\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2} =\frac{7-3}{3-1} =2$

Therefor the equation of the graph is,

$y=2x+1$

<u>Answer is C</u>

Answer for question 7

$\frac{7}{8} =0.875$

$\frac{6}{9} =0.67$

We can discard answer A because the value is close to 0.5

We can discard answer B because 3/17 is a very small value (0.17)

$\frac{53}{72} =0.73$ , This falls between the above 2 numbers.

<u>Therefor answer is C</u>

If each term in the sum a1+a2+a3+...+an is either 7 or 77 and the sum equals 350, which of the following could be equal to n?A.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say there are x 7's and y 77's.

We have been given that each term in the sum a1+a2+a3+...+an is either 7 or 77 and the sum equals 350. We are asked to find the value of n.

Since the sum of all numbers is 350, so we can represent this information in an equation as:

$7x+77y=350$

The only integer solutions for the equation $7x+77y=350$ are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 .

So, there can be these many terms: 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 .

The given option only contains 40, so 40 would be the answer. For 40 terms to be there, there has to be 39 sevens and 1 seventy-seven.

Let us verify our answer.

$7x+77y=350$

$7(39)+77(1)=350$

$273+77=350$

$350=350$

Therefore, the total terms (n) could be equal to 40 and option C is the correct choice.

The horsepower , H(s), required for a racecar to overcome wind resistance is given by the function : H(s) = 0.003s^2+0.07s-0.027

mote1985 [20]

Average rate of change = [H(100) - H(80)] / (100 - 80)
H(100) = 0.003(100)^2 + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 0.003(10000) + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 30 + 7 - 0.027 = 36.973

H(80) = 0.003(80)^2 + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 0.003(6400) + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 19.2 + 5.6 - 0.027 = 24.773

Average rate of change = (36.973 - 24.773)/(100 - 80) = 12.2/20 = 0.61

Answer: B
