Step-by-step explanation:

25% of the collection = 5 coins

Total collection = 100%

So,

100% = 25% + 25% + 25% + 25%

100% = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5

Stefan sells Jin a bicycle for ​$104 and a helmet for ​$17. The total cost for Jin is 110​% of what Stefan spent originally to buy the bike and helmet. How much did Stefan spend​ originally? How much money did he make by selling the bicycle and helmet to​ Jin?

Answers

The amount Stefan spent originally to buy the bike is; $100.91.

The amount Stefan made in profit by selling the bicycle and helmet to Jin is; $10.09.

How much did the bicycle cost originally?

According to the task content;

Stefan sold the bicycle and helmet for a total of;

104 + 17 = $111.

Also, since the total cost ($111) for Jin is 110% of what Stefan spent to buy the bicycle and helmet, x originally; we have

110% × x = 111

x = (111 × 100) / 110

x = $100.91.

Therefore, Stefan spent $100.91 originally to buy the bike and helmet.

Consequently, the money Stefan made by selling the bicycle and helmet to Jin is; 111 - 100.91 = $10.09.

Step-by-step explanation: Slope is rise (how far up or down) over run (how far left to right. Look for points where the line crosses a perfect grid line intersection. The graph goes up to 50 and right 20 (started at 10 and ended at 30). The rise/run is 50/20 or 5/2 reduced.

first, find two places on the line that intersects the grid boxed neatly. This occurs at (10 , 0) and (30 , 50).

slope = change in rise / change in run

slope = change in y / change in x

slope = ( 0 - 50) / (10 - 30)

Answer:

1. x² 2. x

Step-by-step explanation:

For these problems, there actually pretty easy. What you do is the numbers like x2 are x times 2. So, like if x is 3, it would be equal to 6 because 3 times 2 is 6. Easy, right?

But this time, it is asking you for GCF. It's harder, but it will be easy after you understand it.

#1

So, it organizes the equation. So x2 gets simplified to x times 2. x*2 is double the amount. x + y and x - z. Take the x's that is 2 x's. So x2. Then y and z which are unknown has the value left. And 1 more thing. Since there is no operation, it turns in to times/multiply. Please don't ask why. Ask it in a new question. So you can cross them off and multiply x2 with y times z. The equation now is basically x2 y times z). y times z. Again, the numbers are unknown. So you need to count them as zero. Add 2 zero's together is 0. Add x2 to 0. Which is x2.

You can now do problem 2 by yourself after you read the explanation. Remember, your answer isn't always like this type of explanation. Some one's work, try this for all your problems related. See if it works.

Therefore, the GCF of x2(x + y) (x - z) is x2

Answers

The completion of the ratios, resulting from the square feet occupied by Departments A and B, and the amounts of allocated overhead costs to the two departments are as follows:

                           Ratio      Amount

Department A     0.25       $25,000

Department B     0.75      $75,000

What is the ratio?

Ratios show the relative values or proportions of the whole shared by two or more numbers.

Ratios are fractional values like proportions and are depicted in fractions, decimals, and percentages.

Total distributable overhead = $100,000

Ratios = 25,000:75,000

= 25:75

= 5: 15

= 1:3

Sum of Ratios = 4

OR

= 0.25:0.75

Sum of Ratios = 1

Overhead Allocation:

Department   Square Feet  Ratio    Amount of Overhead Allocated

Dept. A            10,000         A = 1      B = $25,000 ($100,000 x 0.25)

Dept. B            30,000        C = 3     D = $75,000 ($100,000 x 0.75)

Thus, based on the cost driver ratios, Department A bears $25,000, while Department B will be allocated $75,000 of the allocated overhead costs.

Given the function h(x)=-x^2+x+4, determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval −1≤x≤4

Answers

The average rate of change of the function h(x) = - x² + x + 4 is equal to 22 / 5.

How to determine the average rate of change of a function

In this problem we find the definition of a function and its interval regarding an average rate of change. Graphically speaking, the average rate of change of the function over an interval is represented by the slope of a secant line that passes through two function points related to the interval limits.

The average rate of change is represented by the following formula:

m = [h(b) - h(a)] / (b - a), for a ≤ x ≤ b

If we know that h(x) = - x² + x + 4, a = - 1 and b = 4, then the average rate of change is:

m = [h(4) - h(- 1)] / [4 - (- 1)]

m = [h(4) - h(- 1)] / 5

m = (- 4² + 4 + 4 + (- 1)² - (- 1) - 4) / 5

m = (17 + 5) / 5

m = 22 / 5

9. The plane's speed would be of 340 and 350 miles per hour.

10. She runs the downhill portion of the course at a rate of 10 miles per hour.

11. The total time would be of 24 minutes.

How to obtain the velocity?


Velocity is distance divided by time, hence the equations is:

v = d/t.

For the first plane, the velocity and the distances are given by:

v = v + 10, d = 495.

Hence:

v + 10 = 495/t

t = 495/v + 10

For the second plane, the velocity and the distance are:

v = v, d = 510.

Hence:

v = 510/t

t = 510/v

The time is equal, hence the velocity of the slower plane is obtained as follows:

495/v + 10 = 510/v

Applying cross multiplication:

510v + 5100 = 495v

15v = 5100

v = 5100/15

v = 340 mph

For the runner, we have two parts, as follows:

First part: distance of 3 miles, velocity of v - 5, time of t.Second part: distance of 4 miles, velocity of v, time of 1 - t.

Hence the equations are given as follows:

v - 5 = 3/t.v = 4/(1 - t).

From the first equation, we have that:

v = 5 + 3/t.

Replacing in the second, we have that:

5 + 3/t = 4/(1 - t)

(5t + 3)/t = 4/(1 - t)

Applying cross multiplication, we have that:

(5t + 3)(1 - t) = 4t

-5t² + 2t + 3 = 4t

5t² + 2t - 3 = 0.

The positive solution, as time is a positive measure, of the quadratic equation is given by:

t = 0.6.

Hence the velocity of the downhill part is given by:

v = 4/(1 - t) = 4/0.4 = 10 miles per hour.

What is the together rate?

The together rate is the sum of each separate rates.

The rates in this problem are given as follows:

Jason: 1/30.Kevin: 1/120.Together: 1/x.

Hence:

1/x = 1/30 + 1/120

1/x = 5/120

x = 120/5

x = 24 minutes.

35.5 + 136.45w = 455.95; w = 9
35.5w + 136.45 = 455.95; w = 9
35.5w − 136.45 = 455.95; w = 17
35.5w − 455.95 = 136.45; w = 17

Answers

The equation that represents the number of weeks that is needed to baby sit to buy gaming chair is 35.5w + 136.45 = 455.95; w = 9  , the correct option is (b) .

In the question ,

it is given that

the cost of the gaming chair = $455.95

amount of money already saved for the gaming chair = $136.45

amount of money earned by baby sitting each week = $35.50 .

let the number of weeks required to baby sit is " w  " .

the equation can be represented by

cost of chair = money saved + money earned in w weeks

Substituting the values from above ,

we get

455.95 = 136.45 + 35.5w

On solving further ,

136.45 + 35.5w = 455.95

35.52w = 455.95 - 136.45

35.52w = 319.5

w = 319.5 / 35.52

w = 8.99

w ≈ 9

the number of weeks = 9

Therefore , The equation that represents the number of weeks that is needed to baby sit to buy gaming chair is  35.5w + 136.45 = 455.95; w = 9  .

Answers

The number of beads needed to make both pair of earrings is 3090.

What is Unitary method?

In order to solve a problem for two different values of a quantity, its unit value is first derived. This method is known as unitary method.

Given that,

The diameter of first circle is 10 cm.

The diameter of second circle is 4 cm.

And, the area covered by 35 beads is 1 cm².

Now, the area of first and second circle is given by substituting the diameters in the expression for area  πD²/4 as,

Area of the first circle = (π × 10²)/4

                                    = 25π cm².

Area of the second circle = (π × 4²)/4

                                          = 4π cm²

The total area is 25π + 4π = 29π cm².

Now, the number of beads can be determined using the unitary method as below,

Number of beads for 1 cm² area is 35.

So, the beads for 29π cm² area is 35 ×  29π = 3090.

Hence, the number of beads required for both the circles is 3090.
