please HELP MEEEEEE .A store owner wants to make a candy that sells for $1 per pound.he has 50 lb of sugar candies that cost $1.20 per pound.how many pounds of gummy candies that cost 80 cents per pound should he add.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

50 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the equation           60+80/100x=1(x+50)

we get 80/100 x because the gummy candies are 80 cents or 80/100x

we get 60 from multiplying 1.20$ x 50 = 60

                                                    solve:

                        60+80/100x  =  x+50

                           60 = x-80/100x+50

                             60-50 = 20/100x

                              10 = 20/100x

                               x= 10 x 100/20 = 10x5= 50 pounds

Answer 2

Using proportions, it is found that he should add 50 pounds of gummy candies that cost 80 cents per pound.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

This problem is organized as follows:

There is a total of 50 + x pounds.Of those, 50 cost $1.2 per pound.x cost $0.8 per pound.The selling price is of $1.

Hence:

[tex]\frac{50}{50 + x}1.2 + \frac{x}{50+x}0.8 = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{60 + 0.8x}{50 + x} = 1[/tex]

[tex]50 + x = 60 + 0.8x[/tex]

[tex]0.2x = 10[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{10}{0.2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 50[/tex]

He should add 50 pounds of gummy candies that cost 80 cents per pound.

∠A and \angle B∠B are vertical angles. If m\angle A=(6x-11)^{\circ}∠A=(6x−11) ∘ and m\angle B=(5x+4)^{\circ}∠B=(5x+4) ∘ , then find the measure of \angle B∠B.

Answers

Answer: [tex]\angle B=79^{\circ}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines cross each other , then the opposite angles are known  as vertical angles.

Vertical angles are equal.

Here, ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles.

So, ∠A = ∠B

If [tex]\angle A=(6x-11)^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]\angle B=(5x+4)^{\circ}[/tex]

Then , [tex]6x-11=5x+4[/tex]

Subtract 5x from both sides, we get

[tex]x-11=4[/tex]

Add 11 on both sides, we get

[tex]x=15[/tex]

Now , [tex]\angle B=(5(15)+4)^{\circ}=79^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, the measure of [tex]\angle B=79^{\circ}.[/tex]

This is a pond in the shape of a prism. It is completely full of water
Colin uses a pump to empty the pond.
The level goes down by 30 cm in the first 30 minutes.
Work out how many minutes Colin has to wait for
the pond to completely empty.​

Answers

Kindly check picture to the question below.

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of prism = height * base area

Height of prism = 1m

Base area = area of a trapezium

Area of trapezium = 0.5(a + b) h

a, b = parallel sides, h= height of trapezium

Area of trapezium = 0.5(1.4+0.6)*2

Area = 0.5(2)*2 = 2m²

Hence,

V of prism = area of trapezium * height of prism

Volume = 2m² * 1m = 2m³

Decrease in water level due to pumping

20cm decrease in 30minutes

(20/100)m in 30 minutes

0.2 m decrease in height of water

Hence, height of water in prism after 30 minutes pumping :

height - 0.2 = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8m

Volume after 30 minutes of pumping :

Base area * new height

2m² * 0.8m = 1.6m³

Decrease in volume over 30 minutes :

(Initial volume - volume after pumping)

2m³ - 1.6m³ = 0.4m³

If ;

0.4m³ = 30 minutes

1.6m³ = x

0.4x = 48

x = 48 / 0.4

x = 120

Hence, it takes 120 minutes for the remaining 1.6m³ to be emptied.

Hence, total wait time :

120 minutes + 30 minutes

= 150 minutes

What is the smallest possible value of q?

Answers

Answer: The smallest possible value of q is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the set of N numbers:

{x₁, x₂, x₃, ..., xₙ}

The mean of this set is:

M = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + ... + xₙ)/N

Now, in this case our set is:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, p times 5, q times 7}

Then we have a total of:

6 + q + p numbers.

The mean of this set will be:

Mean = 5.3 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + p*5 + q*7)/(6 + p + q)

This is the equation that we will use now.

First, we can simplify this as:

5.3 = (21 + p*5 + q*7)/(6 + p + q)

Now we can pass the denominator in the right to the other side as:

5.3*(6 + p + q) = (21 + p*5 + q*7)

31.8 + p*5.3 + q*5.3 = 21 + p*5 + q*7

Now we want to isolate the variable p in one side of the equation.

p*5.3 - p*5 = 21 - 31.8 + q*7 - q*5.3

p*0.3 = q*1.7 - 10.8

p = (q*1.7 - 10.8)/0.3 = q*(1.7/0.3) - 36

p = q*(1.7/0.3) - 36

p = q*(17/10)*(10/3) - 36

p = q*(17/3) - 36

Now we can see that the denominator is 3, so q should be a multiple of 3.

We want to start with the smallest multiples of 3, but if we use q = 3, then we will have a negative value of p (the same happens if we use 1 = 6)

We do not want that, then we need to use q = 9

p = 9*(17/3) - 36

p = 3*17 - 36

p = 15

Then we have;

9 times the number 7

15 times the number 5 (plus one, because it was already on the first 6 numbers that Sam wrote)

The smallest possible value of q is 9.

Now we want to get the smallest possible value of q.

Remember, p and q need to be positive numbers.
