Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of tuba players.

We are given that the number of saxophone players is one less than twice the number of tuba players.

There are 9 saxophone players.

[tex]9 = 2 x-1[/tex]

[tex]9+1=2x[/tex]

A computer has a price tag of $300. The store is giving you a 15% discount for the computer. Find the discount AND final price of the computer.

Answers

Answer:

Discount = $45

Final = $255

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would multiply $300 by .85. (You do this because your only paying for 85% of the computer) to get the final price

$255

In order to get the discount amount you would subtract 300 by 255 to get

$45

In planning a restaurant, it is estimated that a profit of $8 per seat will be made if the number of seats is no more than 50 inclusive. On the other hand, the profit on each seat will decrease 10 cents for each seat above 50.
a) Find the number of seats that will produce the maximum profit.
b) What is the maximum profit?

Answers

Answer:

a. 65  seats

b. $422.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two functions:

8 * x, {0 <= x <= 50}

x * (8 - 0.1 * (x - 50)), {x> 50}, solving we have:

-0.1 * x ^ 2 + 13 * x, {x> 50}

Now we derive both functions and we are left with:

8, {0 <= x <= 50}

-0.2 * x + 13 {x> 50}

we cannot equal to 0 the first function that is equal to 0, because it would be inconsistent, therefore we equal the second function to 0:

-0.2 * x + 13 = 0

0.2 * x = - 13

x = -13 / -0.2

x = 65

Now, test for increasing and decreasing on the intervals (0.65) and (65, infinity)

p '(60) = -0.2 * (60) + 13 = 1

since this value is positive the profit is increasing on (0.65)

p '(70) = -0.2 * (70) + 13 = -1

becuase this value is negative the profit is decreasing on (65, infinity)

Therefore 65 seats are needed to maximize profit

The maximum value would be:

P (65) = 0.1 * (65 ^ 2) + 13 * 65 = 422.5

That is, the maximum value is $ 422.50


What is the vertex of f(x) = |x+ 8|– 3?
(-8, -3)
(-8,3)
(8, -3)
(8,3)

Answers

Answer:

The vertex is at (-8,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is of the form

y = a|x-h| + k  where (h,k) is the vertex

f(x) = |x+ 8|– 3

f(x) = |x - - 8|– 3

The vertex is (-8,-3)

A grocery store has a discount of 13% off hand soap. At the same time the hand soap manufacturer has a coupon for $2.00 off. Assuming both promotions can be applied at the same time how much more would you pay if you applied the coupon first?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\$0.26[/tex] has to be paid more if the coupon is applied first

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A grocery store has a discount of 13% off hand soap. At the same time the hand soap manufacturer has a coupon for $2.00 off.

To find: how much more would be paid if the coupon is applied first

Solution:

Let $ x denotes cost of hand soap

Case 1:

If the discount is given first,

cost of hand soap = [tex]x-\frac{13}{100} x=\$ \frac{87}{100}x[/tex]

If the coupon for $2.00 off is applied,

Final cost of the hand soap = [tex]\$\,(\frac{87}{100}x-2)[/tex]

Case 2:

If the coupon for $2.00 off is applied first,

cost of hand soap = [tex]\$(x-2)[/tex]

If the discount is given then,

final cost of the hand soap = [tex](x-2)-\frac{13}{100}(x-2)=\frac{87}{100}(x-2)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{87}{100}x-\frac{87}{50}[/tex]

Here,

[tex]\frac{87}{100}x-\frac{87}{50}-\frac{87}{100}x+2=\frac{13}{50}=\$0.26[/tex]

So, [tex]\$0.26[/tex] has to be paid more if the coupon is applied first.

Answer:

$0.26

George is given two circles 0 and circles X as shown if he wants to prove that two circles are similar what would be the correct second step in his proof

Answers

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two equations for the circumference, one for each circle:

C = 2*pi*r

C' = 2*pi*r'

now, if we take the quotient of those two equations, the left side must still be equal to the left side, this means that:

C/C' = 2*pi*r/(2*pi*r') = r/r'

So we have the relation:

C/C' = r/r'

And this is obtained for the division property of equality.

IF A = B, then as both numbers are equal, if we divide both sides by the same thing, then the equality must remain true.

Then the correct option is A.

An economist wants to estimate the mean per capita income (in thousands of dollars) for a major city in Texas. Suppose that the mean income is found to be $18.5 for a random sample of 2253 people. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be $6.1. Construct the 98% confidence interval for the mean per capita income in thousands of dollars. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

= ( $18.2, $18.8)

Therefore, the 98% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $18.2, $18.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $18.50

Standard deviation r = $6.10

Number of samples n = 2253

Confidence interval = 98%

z(at 98% confidence) = 2.33

Substituting the values we have;

$18.5+/-2.33($6.1/√2253 )

$18.5+/-2.33($0.128513644290)

$18.5+/-$0.299436791196

$18.5+/-$0.3

= ( $18.2, $18.8)

Therefore at 98% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $18.2, $18.8)

£2.70 fig rolls and £5.72 crisps

Step-by-step explanation:

£1.43+£1.43+£1.43-£1.43= £2.86 x 2= £5.72 for 6 packets of crisps

£2.70+ £5.72= £8.42

for the crisps, for every 3 packets one is free. as you want 6 packets, 2 will be free. so 4 x 1.43 = £5.72

for the fig rolls, if you buy two one will be half price. as we want three, 2 will be normal price and 1 will be half price. 1.08 + 1.08 + 0.54 = £2.70

the total is £2.70+£5.72=£8.42

Answers

Answer:

- 3 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate (u ○ w)(- 1), evaluate w(- 1) then use this value to evaluate u(x)

w(- 1) = (- 1)² + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3, then

u(3) = - 3

---------------------------------------------------

To evaluate (w ○ u)(- 1), evaluate u(- 1) then use this value to evaluate w(x)

u( - 1) = - (- 1) = 1, then

w(1) = 1² + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3

When Ravi brought 3 friends to his house after school, his mother gave them a box of pretzels and a box of crackers. She told them to share the snacks equally among themselves and to give her any that were leftover.
The boys opened the boxes and found a total of 26 pretzels and 35 crackers.
How many pretzels and crackers did the boys give to Ravi's

Answers

Answer:

6 pretzels and 8 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since his mom told him to give her the remaining, 6*4= 24 giving to his mom 2 pretzels and 8*4=32 so he has to give his mom 3 crackers. This way him and his friends have the same amount of snacks.

Hope you find it useful.  Good night

First of all, we need to determine how many people are sharing the snacks. Ravi and his 3 friends would be four people.

Important:
4 friends

Next, we have to share the snacks equally, that means that each person gets the same exact amount of snacks.

Important:
4 friends
same exact amount if snacks for each person

Now, since you are seperating them equally amongst the four friends, we have to divide but you cannot go above the number 26, or 35.

4x7 gives you 28, although 26 is not divisble by 26, its ok to have extra so each child will have 4x6 (24) 6 crackers.

4x8 gives you 32 and you wouldn"t choose 4x6, or 7 because you will either have too many or too little.

So, each child will get 6 pretzels and 8 crackers. It is okay if there are extra snacks.
