Answer:

36 erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of erasers be e

let number of rulers be r

We can write:

e + r = 70

and

After giving away, he has

Erasers:  2/3e

Rulers:  r - 10

These two are equal, so we can write and solve:

2/3e = r - 10

2/3e + 10 = r

Putting this in initial equation, we have:

e + (2/3e + 10) = 70

5/3e + 10 = 70

5/3 e = 60

e = 36

And rulers is:

r = 2/3(36) + 10 = 34

Hence, he had 36 erasers in the beginning

natita [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After one year

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2000(1+0.03/12)^12*1

=2000(1+0.0025)^12

=2000(1.0025)^12

=2000(1.0304)

=$2060.8

After two-years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2060.8(1+0.03/12)^12*2

=2060.8(1+0.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0618)

=$2188.157

After three years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2188.157(1+0.03/12)^12*3

=2188.157(1+0.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0941)

=$2394.063

The perimeter of the base of a regular quadrilateral prism is 60 cm, the area of one of the lateral faces is 105 cm2.
yawa3891 [41]

For a better understanding of the solution, please follow the diagram in the attached file.

A regular quadrilateral is basically a square.

So, if the base of the prism has a perimeter of 60 cm, then the length of the side of the square will be \frac{60}{4}=15 cm. It is shown of the diagram.

Now, from the diagram, it is clear that the lateral face area, which is given as 105 cm^2, is the product of the side of the square, which is known, and the unknown height, let us call it h. Thus, we will get the following equation:

15\times h=105

\therefore h=\frac{105}{15}=7 cm

This is depicted on the diagram.

Now, all our required parameters are in place. Thus, let us find what has been asked.

<u>SURFACE AREA</u>

Surface Area (SA) will be the sum of the areas of the two bases (squares) and the areas of the four lateral faces.

Since the side of one square base is 15 cm, therefore, the area of one square base will be 15^2.

Likewise, the area of one lateral surface is actually the area of a rectangle with length 15 cm and height 7 cm. Thus, it's area will be given as: 15\times 7.

Thus, our equation will be:

SA=2\times 15^2+4\times 15\times 7=870 cm^2

Therefore, Surface Area=870 cm^2

<u>VOLUME OF THE PRISM</u>

The volume of the prism will simply be the area of the base times the height of the prism.

Thus, the volume is:

Volume=15^2\times 7=1575 cm^3

dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure that you will have to add it.

so, when we add two fractions such as 3/4 + 3/4, we make sure that the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same and then we simply add the numerators (the  top numbers).

in this problem, the denominators are the same so we will simply add 3+3 which equals to 6/4. the denominator will remain the same.

               <em>answer:</em>

                      3/4 + 3/4    =   6/4

<u>i hope this is helpful. </u>

A company administers an "aptitude test for managers" to aid in selecting new management trainees. Prior experience suggests tha
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The question after this basically is:

<em>"If the applicant passes the "aptitude test for managers", what is the probability that the applicant will succeed in the management position?"</em>

<em />

So,

P(successful if hired) = 60% = 0.6 [let it be P(x)]

P(success at passing the test) = 85% = 0.85   [let it be P(y)]

P(successful and pass the test) =  P(x) + P(y) -[P(x)*P(y)]

So,

P(successful and pass the test) = 0.6 + 0.85 - (0.6*0.85) = 0.94 (94%)

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price? unit price = total price ÷ number of units per p
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Option A

P = \$\ 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 5 cans of ketchup they cost $ 5.25. Then the unit price of cans is what each can costs individually.

The unit price should then be less than $ 5.25, and that is the price for 5 cans and we want to know the price for just one can of ketchup.

Then to calculate the price of each can divide the price of the 5 cans by 5.

P = \frac{5.25}{5}

P = \$\ 1.05
