Someone help! you have 44 text messages in your inbox. How many messages can your cell phone hold? (and inbox is 88% full)

We can set up a proportion.

88% = 0.88

44/0.88 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.88x = 44

Divide 0.88 to both sides:

x = 50

So your cell phone can hold 50 messages.

If bd = 7x-10, bc = 4x-29, and cd = 5x-9, find each value

Airida [17]

Answer:

$bd=88$ , $bc=27$ , $cd=61$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

$bd=bc+cd$

we have

$bd=7x-10$

$bc=4x-29$

$cd=5x-9$

substitute the values and solve for x

$7x-10=(4x-29)+(5x-9)$

Group terms that contain the same variable in the right sides

$7x-10=(4x+5x)+(-29-9)$

Combine like terms in the right side

$7x-10=9x-38$

$9x-7x=-10+38$

$2x=28$

$x=14$

Find the value of bd

$bd=7(14)-10=88$

Find the value of bc

$bc=4(14)-29=27$

Find the value of cd

$cd=5(14)-9=61$

Of 360 consumers polled some purchased ice cream some purchase frozen yogurt and some purchased both if 260 people polled purcha

Xelga [282]

Total customers are = 360

Number of polled people who purchased ice cream = 260

Number of polled people who purchased both ice cream and yogurt = 250

Hence, people who purchased only ice cream are= $260-250=10$

And $360-10=350$ are people who purchased yogurt.

So, people who purchased yogurt only = $360-(250+10)=100$

At 9:00 on Saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path. The bicyclist head

7nadin3 [17]

Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist

Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,

(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40

Calculating gives x = 14

Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.
