Elvira, the cafeteria manager, has just received a shipment of new trays with the school logo prominently displayed in the middle of the tray. After unloading 4 cartons of trays in the pizza line, she realizes that students are arriving for lunch and she will have to wait until lunch is over before unloading the remaining cartons. The new trays are very popular and in just a couple of minutes 24 students have passed through the pizza line and are showing off the school logo on the trays. At this time, Elvira decides to divide the remaining trays in the pizza line into 3 equal groups so she can also place some in the salad line and the sandwich line, hoping to attract students to the other lines. After doing so, she realizes that each of the three serving lines has only 12 of the new trays. "That's not many trays for each line. I wonder how many trays there were in each of the cartons I unloaded?"

Answer 1

Answer:

im willing to bet that there is 3 in each carton

(just a guess for the points also theres no multiple choice?)

Answer 2

The quantity of trays that were in each of the cartons the manager unloaded was 12 trays.

How many trays there were in each of the cartons I unloaded?

To determine the quantity of trays in each carton, we need to analyze the given information step by step:

We know that 24 students have passed through the pizza line and received trays with the school logo.The remaining trays were divided into three equal groups for the salad line, sandwich line, and pizza line.Each serving line ended up with only 12 new trays.

From these points, we can deduce the following:

Since 24 students passed through the pizza line, and each student received one tray, this means that 24 trays were taken from the initial shipment.After 24 trays were taken, an equal number of trays were distributed to the salad line, sandwich line, and the remaining trays were kept in the pizza line.Each serving line ended up with 12 new trays. Since the trays were divided equally among the three lines, each line received the same number of trays.

Now, let's solve for the number of trays in each carton.

Let's assume that the number of trays in each carton is "x."

We know that 24 trays were taken initially, and each serving line ended up with 12 trays. So, we can set up the equation:

24 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 4x

48 = 4x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:

12 = x

Therefore, there were 12 trays in each of the cartons that were unloaded.

To summarize, each carton that Elvira unloaded contained 12 trays.

(This value is known as the percent concentration of chips.) Explain how you decided. Label the container appropriately Answer: 50% because when there is only 2 variables and they are each 1 cup there is an even amount of stuff and when you ask for only one percentage that would be 50% because everything is even. Even if you asked for the percentage for the cup of raisins it would also be 50% Add 2 scoops of mini chocolate chips and 3 scoops of raisins to Container 2. What is the percent concentration of mini chocolate chips? Explain how you decided. Label the container appropriately. Stir the chips and raisins in each container to ensure that the chips and raisins are evenly mixed.

Molly is making bags of trail mix for the hiking club. She will use 20 ounces of walnuts. 11.1 ounces of almonds, and 24.8 ounces of cashews. This amount makes 26 bags of trail mix. How many ounces are in each bag?

Answers

Answer:

2.15 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ounces of nuts in the bag is calculated as:

20 ounces of walnuts + 11.1 ounces of almonds + 24.8 ounces of cashews = 55.9 ounces.

From the question we are told that these amounts make 26 bags.

The number of ounces that are in each bag is calculated as:

26 bags = 55.9 ounces

1 bag = x ounces

Cross Multiply

26 bags × x ounces = 1 bag × 55.9 ounces

x ounces = 1 bag × 55.9 ounces/26 bags

x ounces = 2.15 ounces

Therefore, there are 1.94 ounces in each bag

Answer the questions below. Do not do any rounding.

(a) How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture?

Il grams

(b) What percentage of the resulting mixture is copper?

Answers

Answer:

(a) How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture?

= 160 grams

(b) What percentage of the resulting mixture is copper?

= 61.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture?

From the question: Suppose that a certain alloy is made by mixing 70 grams of an alloy that contains 12% copper with 90 grams of pure copper.

The number of grams of copper in the resulting mixture = 70 grams + 90 grams = 160 grams

(b) What percentage of the resulting mixture is copper?

70 grams of an alloy that contains 12% copper = 70 × 12%

= 70 grams × 0.12

= 8.4 grams

The number of grams of copper in the resulting mixture = 160 grams

The percentage of the resulting mixture that is copper is

=( 8.4 grams + 90 grams of pure copper/160) × 100

= 98.4/160 × 100

= 61.5%

In Triangle BCD, BC=BD, and angle B =13x-35, angle C = 5x-19, angle D=2x+14. Find the measure of each angle

Answers

Answer:

[tex]B = 108[/tex]

[tex]C = 36[/tex]

[tex]D = 36[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]B =13x - 35[/tex]

[tex]C = 5x - 19[/tex]

[tex]D=2x+14[/tex]

[tex]BC = BD[/tex]

Required

Determine the measure of each angle

The angles in a triangle sum up t 180. i.e.

[tex]B + C + D = 180[/tex]

Since [tex]BC = BD[/tex], then [tex]C = D[/tex]

[tex]B + C + D = 180[/tex] can then be rewritten as:

[tex]B + C + C = 180[/tex]

[tex]B + 2C = 180[/tex]

Substitute values for B and C

[tex]13x - 35 + 2(5x - 19) = 180[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]13x - 35 + 10x - 38 = 180[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]13x + 10x = 180 + 38 + 35[/tex]

[tex]23x= 253[/tex]

Divide both sides by 23

[tex]x = 11[/tex]

To get the measure of each angle, substitute 11 for x in the expressions of B, C and D

[tex]B =13x - 35[/tex]

[tex]B = 13 * 11 - 35[/tex]

[tex]B = 108[/tex]

[tex]C = 5x - 19[/tex]

[tex]C = 5 * 11 - 19[/tex]

[tex]C = 36[/tex]

[tex]D=2x+14[/tex]

[tex]D = 2 * 11 + 14[/tex]

[tex]D = 36[/tex]

The measure of m<B, m<C and m<D are 108, 36 and 46 respectively

What are triangles?

From the triangle BCD, if BC=BD, then

m<C = m<D (Base angles are equal)

Given the following paramters:

m<C = 5x-19m<D = 2x + 14

Hence;

5x - 19 =2x + 14

5x- 2x = 14 + 19

3x = 33

x = 11

m<B = 13x - 35

m<B = 13(11) - 35

m<B = 108 degres

m<C = 5x - 19

m<C = 55- 19

m<C = 36

m<D = 180 - 144

m<D = 36 degreees

Hence the measure of m<B, m<C and m<D are 108, 36 and 46 respectively

Jason bought a new truck at $25,000. The truck depreciates 15% of its value continuously each year. How much is it worth after 5 years? Round the answer to nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

A = $11093

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $25,000

Rate = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Time, t = 5

To find the future value, we would use the compound interest formula;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value. P is the principal or starting amount. r is annual interest rate. n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

r = -0.15 because it's depreciating.

[tex] A = 25000(1 + \frac{-0.15}{1})^{1*5}[/tex]

[tex] A = 25000(1 - 0.15)^{5}[/tex]

[tex] A = 25000(0.85)^{5}[/tex]

[tex] A = 25000*0.4437[/tex]

A = 11092.63 ≈ $11093

Therefore, the future value, A after 5 years is $11093.

Answers

Answer:

x = -10

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDASEquality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute:                                   36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60Combine like terms:                   -4.5x + 72 = -7.5x + 42Add 7.5x on both sides:             3x + 72 = 42Subtract 72 on both sides:        3x = -30Divide 3 on both sides:              x = -10

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    4.5(8 - -10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)Simplify:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)Multiply:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-30 + 24)Add:                                     4.5(18) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-6)Multiply:                               81 + 36 = 102 + 15Add:                                     117 = 117

Here we see that 117 does indeed equal to 117.

∴ x = -10 is a solution of the equation.
