Tea that sells for $2.00 a pound is mixed with a different tea that sells for
$5.00 a pound to produce 40 pounds of a custom blended tea that will
sell for $4.25 a pound. How many pounds of the less expensive tea
should be used in the mixture?
(1) 10
(2) 15
(3) 25
(4) 30

Answers

Answer 1

A thing's extent, size, or the total amount is its quantity.

The mixture must contain 10 pounds of affordable tea.

How can I find the quantity of less expensive needed?

An answer to the question "how much?" is a quantity, which might be an amount, number, or measurement.

Numbers or unconventional units can be used to express quantities.

Quantity in more complex mathematics can also refer to an undetermined amount in an equation.

Affordable tea costs $2.00.

The price for superior tea is $5.

The price of blended tea is $4.25.

Solution:

$4.25 multiplied by 40 pounds of blended tea equals $170.

Let x represent the quantity of affordable tea, and

The superior tea quantity is (40 - x).

4.25 * 40 = 2x + 5(40 - x)

170 = 2x + 200 -5x

-3x = -30

x = 10

Therefore, the mixture should contain 10 pounds of affordable tea.

Given a rectangle with the following dimensions: Area = 50 units Length = x + 10 units Width = x units Find the value of x.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

length × width

in our case

(x + 10) × x = 50

x² + 10x = 50

x² + 10x - 50 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation

ax² + bx + c = 0

is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case that is

x = (-10 ± sqrt(10² - 4×1×-50))/(2×1) =

= (-10 ± sqrt(100 + 200))/2 =

= (-10 ± sqrt(300))/2 = (-10 ± sqrt(100×3))/2 =

= -5 ± sqrt(100×3/4) = -5 ± sqrt(25×3) =

= -5 ± 5×sqrt(3)

x1 = -5 + 5×sqrt(3) = 3.660254038...

x2 = -5 - 5×sqrt(3) = -13.66025404...

x2 gives us negative values for length and width. that does not make any sense for actual lengths of objects.

on vacation?

Answers

The number of days Henry can go on vacation is 7 days.

Given that, Henry knows it will cost $300 per day that he's on vacation plus $650 for miscellaneous activities.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

Let the number of days be x.

Henry has $2750 dollars in his savings account.

So equation is 300x+650=2750

The obtained equation can be solved as follow

300x=2750-650

⇒ 300x = 2100

⇒ x = 2100/300

⇒ x = 7

Therefore, the number of days Henry can go on vacation is 7 days.

ou have three jars of gumballs. the first jar has 100 white gumballs and 25 green, the second jar has 50 white and 150 blue, and the third jar contains 500 white and 10 red. if you randomly draw one gumball from each jar, what is the probability for at least one white gumball?

Answers

The probability for at least one white gumball is 0.196

Consider the following:

First jar:100 whites, 25 green

Total=100+25

       =125 gumball

P(White)=100/125=0.8

Second jar:50 whites, 150 blue

Total=50+150

       =200 gumballs

P(White)=50/200=0.25

Third jar:500 whites, 10 red

Total=500+10

         =510

P(White)=500/500=0.98

Now, probability for at least one white is

              =P(white in jar 1)*P(white in jar 2)*P(white in jar 3)

              =0.8*0.25*0.98

A piggy bank contains $2.65 in nickles and dimes. if the number of nickles is 7 less than three times the number of dimes. how many of each are there

Answers

In this question, we have been given a piggy bank contains 2.65$ in nickels and dimes. Then There are 29 nickels and 12 dimes in the piggy bank.

We need to find the number of nickels and dimes if the number of nickels is 7 less than three times the number of dimes.

Let x be the number of nickels and y be the number of dimes.

We know that, 1 dollar = 20 nickels

and 1 dollar = 10 dimes

So, we get an equation

0.05x + 0.1y = 2.65                   ...........(1)

Also the number of nickels is 7 less than three times the number of dimes.

x = 3y - 7                      .................(2)

Substitute above value of x in equation (1)

0.05(3y - 7) + (0.1)y = 2.65

0.15y - 0.35 + 0.1y = 2.65

0.25y = 2.65 + 0.35

0.25 y = 3

y = 12

Substitute above value of y in equation  (2)

x = 3(12) - 7

x = 29

Therefore, there are 29 nickels and 12 dimes in the piggy bank.

Find the area of ABCD with vertices A(-5,2), B(-3,2), C(-2,-5),
D(-4,-5).

Answers

Answer:

14 units²

=============================

Given

Vertices A(-5,2), B(-3,2), C(-2,-5), D(-4,-5)

To find

The area of ABCD

Solution

We can observe that:

1. AB and CD are horizontal segments, since both endpoints have same y-coordinates:

A and B have y = 2, C and D have y = - 5

2. AB and CD are of same length:

AB = - 3 - (-5) = 2,CD = - 2 - (-4) = 2.

It means the ABCD is a parallelogram, since two opposite sides are parallel and of same length.

The area of parallelogram is:

A = bh, where b- base length, h - height

We know the length of the base, it is found above, 2 units.

The height is the difference of y- coordinates:

h = 2 - (-5) = 7

The area is:

A = 2*7 = 14 units²

Use I = PTR to solve

The principal amount = $900

The simple interest I = PTR

Where I is the interest amount

P is the principal Amount

T is the time period involved in years

R is the rate of interest per year as a percent

Substitute the values in the equation

252 = 900 × T × (7 / 100)

252 = 900 × T × 0.07

252 = 63 × T

Move the 63 to other side

T = 252 / 63

T = 4 years

Answer:

ΔABC ≅ ΔNKW because when ΔABC is translated 9 units right and 5 units down, it results in the other triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are congruent as the measures of their corresponding sides and angles are the same.

To determine the translation of ΔABC to ΔNKW, find the change in the x and y values from one of the points of ΔABC to its corresponding point of ΔNKW.

Point C = (0, 0)Point W = (9, -5)

Therefore:

ΔABC ≅ ΔNKW because when ΔABC is translated 9 units right and 5 units down, it results in the other triangle.

Write an equation in standard form for the line that passes through the given points
(3,0) and (0, -2)

Answers

Equation of a line in the standard form that passes through the points (3, 0) and (0, -2) will be [y = (2/3)x - 2].

As per the question statement, a straight line passes through the points (3, 0) and (0, -2).

We are required to determine the equation of the above mentioned line in it's standard form.

To solve this question, we need to know the formula to write the standard equation of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) which goes as [tex][(y-y_{1})=\frac{(y_{2}-y_{1})}{(x_{2}-x_{1})}(x-x_{1})][/tex].

Here, let (x₁, y₁) be (3, 0) and (x₂, y₂) be (0, -2).

Therefore, equation of our concerned line passing through the two points (3, 0) and (0, -2), by substituting [(x₁, y₁) = (3, 0)] and [(x₂, y₂) = (0, -2)] in the above mentioned formula, will be [(y - 0) = {(-2 - 0)/0₂ - 3)}(x - 3)]

Or, [y = {(-2)/(-3)}(x -3)]

Or, [y = (2/3)(x - 3)]

Or, [y = (2/3)x - 2]

Tina's taco truck sold 3 times as many veggie tacos in August than in September. She sold twice as many in September than in October. She sold 927 veggie taco during the three months

Answers

The number of tacos sold in August, September and October is 103, 206, 618 respectively.

Let the number of veggie tacos sold by Tina in October be x

Then, number of veggie tacos sold in September is twice that of veggie tacos sold in october = 2x

Number of veggie tacos sold in August is thrice that of veggie tacos sold in September = 3 x 2x = 6x

Total veggie taco during the three months by Tina = 927

6x + 2x + x = 927

9x = 927

x = 927/9

x = 103

Tacos sold in August = 6x =  618

Tacos sold in September = 2x = 206

Tacos sold in October = x =103

Therefore, the number of tacos sold in August, September and October is 103, 206, 618 respectively.

The length of the rectangle is 5 more than twice the width. If the perimeter is 10 times that of the width, what is the width, length, and perimeter of the rectangle?

Answers

Width of the rectangle is 2.5, Length is 10 and perimeter is 25

Given

Length of rectangle is 5 greater than double of width

let us say width = w

According to the question length L = 5 + 2w

Perimeter is 10 times the width

P= 10w

we know that perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L+W)

Substituting the values in the formula we get

10w = 2(5+2w + w)

10w = 10 + 6w

w= 2.5

From this length L = 5+2(2.5)

                            L = 10

Perimeter P = 10W

P= 10(2.5)

P= 25

Hence the length is 10, width is 2.5 and perimeter is 25
