Maria's Grocery Store buys grapefruit at a cost

of 5 for a dollar. They sell them at a price of 5

for three dollars. How many must they sell in

order to make a profit of ten dollars?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 25 grapefruits

Step-by-step explanation:

They buy grapefruit at a price of 5 per dollar. This means that the price per grapefruit is:

= 1 / 5

= $0.20 per grapefruit.

They then sell at a price of 5 per $3. The selling price per grapefruit is:

= 3 / 5

= $0.60

The profit per grapefruit is:

= 0.60 - 0.20

= $0.40

In order to make a profit of $10, they should sell:

= 10 / 0.4

= 25 grapefruits

Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract 84 on both sides and then you end up with -6x>-42 divide -6 on both sides and you have 7

Answer: x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

84 - 6x > 42         First subtract 84 from both sides

-84          -84

   -6x > -42    

 x < 7      Remember when dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the sign flips and becomes its opposite.

In this case > will become <.

Answers

Answer:

You will use [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cup of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Ratio of sugar to brown sugar = 3/4 : 1/2

Amount of brown sugar used = 1/6

Amount of sugar used = x

Ratio of sugar to brown sugar = x : 1/6

As the relationship is proportional;

[tex]\frac{3}{4}:\frac{1}{2}::x:\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Product of mean = Product of extreme

[tex]\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{6}\\\\\frac{1}{2}x = \frac{1}{8}\\\\x = \frac{1}{8}*2\\\\x=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Hence,

You will use [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cup of sugar.

The house was bought for $125,000 in 1990, the overage rate is 7.85%, what year will the purchase of the house be worth 3 times the purchase price?

Answers

Answer: 2005

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function to determine the value of item after t years,

[tex]f(x)=A(1+r)^t[/tex] , where r= rate of growth, A=Initial value.

As per given , A = 7.85% = 0.0785

A = $125,000

Substitute all values in function, we get

[tex]f(x)=125000(1+0.785)^t[/tex]

When f(x)= 3A , then

[tex]3A=A(1.0785)^t\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3=(1.0785)^t[/tex]

Taking tog on both sides , we get

[tex]\ln 3=t\ln 1.0785\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{\ln 3}{\ln 1.0785}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{1.09861228867}{0.0755711868471}\approx15[/tex]

The year will be 1990+15= 2005

Hence, the required year = 2005

Answers

Answer:

D) The circle is centred at (-8,3) and has a diameter 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the circle

        ( x + 8)² +( y-3)² = 100

   ⇒ ( x + 8)² +( y-3)² = 10²

Standard form of the circle ( x-h)² +(y-k)² = r²

Centre of the circle (h , k) = (-8 , 3)

Radius of the circle  r = 10

Diameter of the circle 'd' = 2r = 2(10) =20

Final answer:-

The circle is centred at (-8,3) and has a diameter 20

The price of nails, n, is $1.29/lb. The price of washers, w, is $0.79/lb. The price of bolts, b, is $2.39/lb.

Section a .Write an expression to represent the total price of the supplies

Section b. What is the total cost of buying 2 pounds of nails, 4 pounds of washers and 3 pounds of bolts?

Answers

Answer: 1.29n + 0.79w + 3.39b  is the expression.

The total cost is $12.91

Step-by-step explanation:  Substitute the number of pounds for each given supply. Multiply to get the individual amounts, then add all of those amounts to find the total cost.

1.29(2) + 0.79(4) + 2.39(3) = total

2.58 + 3.16 + 7.17 = 12.91

Answer:

1.29n + 0.79w + 2.39b

1.29(2) + 0.79(4) + 2.39(3) =

2.58 + 3.16 + 7.17 = $12.91
