Three friends, Cleopatra, Dalila and Ebony go shopping.
The money they each have is in the ratio
Cleopatra : Dalila : Ebony = 5:7:8.
Cleopatra has $17.
(a) How many dollars do they have in total?
(b) Dalila spends $12 on a hat.
How many dollars does she have left?
(CIE Paper 1, Nov 2005)​

Answers

Answer 1
Solution (a) :

Total number of parts = 5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Let the sum of the money with them be = x

Cleopatra has =

= 5/20 of x = $17

= 5/20x = 17

= 1/4x = 17

= 1x = 17 × 4 ( transposing ÷4 from LHS to RHS changes ÷4 to ×4 )

= x = 68

Therefore , they have $68 in total .

Solution (b) :

Total number of parts = 5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Parts with Dalila = 7/20

Money with Dalila =

= 7/20 of 68

= 7/20 × 68/1

= 476/20

= 23.8

Dalila has $23.8 with her .

Money she spends on a hat = $12

Money left with her =

= 23.8 - 12

= 11.8

Therefore , Dalila has $11.8 left with her , after she buys a hat .

Solution to the problems in the comment box :-

Solution (1) :

Ratio of cement to sand to aggregate to water = 2:5:8:1

Total parts = 2 + 5 + 8 + 1 = 16 parts

Number of parts for aggregate = 8/16

Then the aggregate needed by Bobbie =

= 8/16 × 1.2

= 1/2 × 1.2

= 1.2 as a fraction will be 6/5

= 1/2 × 6/5

= 6/10

6/10 as a decimal = 0.6

Therefore , Bobbie needs 0.6 cube of meter .

Solution (a) :

Cement : sand : aggregate : water = 2:5:8:1

Total parts = 16

Number of parts for cement = 5/16

Let the quantity of concrete be = x

Then ,

Cement =

= 5/16 of x

= 5/16x = 0.25 meter cube

= x = 0.25 × 16/5

= x = 25/100 × 16/5

= x = 1/4 × 16/5

= x = 16/20

= x = 4/5

4/5 as decimal = 80/100 = 0.08

Cement needed by Eddie = 0.08 cubic meter .

Quantity of water Eddie will need =

= 1/16 × 0.08

= 1/16 × 80/100

= 1/16 × 8/10

= 8/60

= 0.13

Water needed by Eddie = 0.13 cubic meter .

Quantity of aggregate needed by Eddie =

= 8/16 × 80/100

= 1/2 × 8/10

= 8/20

= 40/100

= 0.04

Aggregate needed by Eddie = 0.04 cubic meter .

Quantity of sand Eddie will need =

= 5/16 × 80/100

= 5/16 × 8/10

= 40/160

= 0.25

Quantity of sand needed by Eddie = 0.25 cubic meter .

Therefore , Eddie will need 0.25 cubic meter of sand , 0.04 cubic meter of aggregate ,0.13 cubic meter of water along with 0.25 cubic meter of cement to make concrete .

Solution (b) :

When water and aggregate has been added the quantity of concrete =

= 0.13 + 0.04

= 0.07

Therefore , when water and aggregate has been added the quantity of concrete will be 0.07 cubic meter .

Answers

Answer:

this is a system of equations , and it's no surprise that it's tricky for you. these are tricky for anyone.

Step-by-step explanation:

X=adults

Y=children

I only know to make these two equations from experience doing these types of questions.

X+Y=800

7X +5Y=4600

there are a few ways to solve this , i"m just going to multiply the first equatlion by 7 and the subtract  the 2nd  from that whole equation.

7(X +Y=800)

7X +7Y = 5600

-(7X +5Y =4600)

0X +2Y = 1000

Y  = 500   ( 500 children went to the movies )

by inspection  you can probably see that 300 adults had to go too

500 kids

300 parents

also that's 4600 dollars to let those people in

7(300) + 5(500) = 4600

2100 + 2500 = 4600

Given:

Price of  gold in 2001 = (0.5x+300)

Its price tripled in 2008 and then doubled in 2011. In 2016, its price dropped to [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of the price in 2011.

To find:

An expression for the price of gold per ounce in 2016.

Solution:

We have,

Price of  gold in 2001 [tex]= (0.5x+300)[/tex]

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the linear equation −4x+8y=−16.

The x-intercept is
.

The y-intercept is

Answers

Answer:

x-intercepts is (4,0)

y -intercepts is (0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form, x- intercept is (4,0) and y - intercept is (0,-2)

What is slope intercept form and how it can be used to find y and x intercept of the line?

The slope intercept of a line is given by the equation y = m x+ c

y is y coordinate, x is x coordinate, m is the slope of the line

c is y- intercept of the line

y- intercept can also be found if a point on the line is given say (a, b) and slope is given .We put this point  in the given slope intercept form and find c.

For finding x - intercept, put y = 0 in the equation and find value of x.

Given line -4x +8y = -16

Then add 4x both sides , we get

⇒4x+4x +8y = -16+4x

⇒ 8 y = 4x -16

Divide both sides by 8

⇒ y = (4/8) x - (16/8)

y = (1/2)x -2

Comparing this equation with y =mx+c

c =-2

Put y = 0 in the equation y = (1/2)x -2

⇒ 0 = x/2 -2

⇒2 = x/2

4 =x

Therefore x- intercept is (4,0) and y - intercept is (0,-2)

Given a rhombus ABCD with vertices A(2,6), B(6,7), C(5,3), and D(1,2). What would the coordinates of its image be if it was rotated 180° about the origin?

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates would be A(6,2), B(7,6), C(3,5), D(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

When conducting a 180 degree rotation, you can just reverse the points to get your answer.

The required coordinate of the rhombus when rotates around the origin by 180° is A(-2, -6), B(-6,-7), C(-5, -3), and D(-1, -2).

Given that,
Given a rhombus ABCD with vertices A(2,6), B(6,7), C(5,3), and D(1,2). What would the coordinates of its image be if it was rotated 180° about the origin is to be determined.

What is coordinate?

Coordinate, is represented as the values of positions on the x-axis and y-axis of the graph

here,
Given the coordinates of the rhombus, A(2,6), B(6,7), C(5,3), and D(1,2).
Now, after rotation through 180° around the origin is A(-2, -6), B(-6,-7), C(-5, -3), and D(-1, -2), because while rotating the rhombus it would go to the third quadrant.


Thus, the required coordinate of the rhombus when rotates around the origin by 180° is A(-2, -6), B(-6,-7), C(-5, -3), and D(-1, -2).

After every month that the sweater didn't sell, the store reduced the selling price by 20 percent. After how many monthly price reductions did the price dip below the wholesale cost?

Answers

Answer:

2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of the sweater = 0.5 x $20 = $30

For every month that the sweater doesn't sell, price is reduced by 20% = 0.2 x $30 = $6

After the first month, price is reduced by $30 - $6 = $24

After the second month, price is reduced by $24 - $6 = $18

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide both sides by 6:

6(x/2 + 4) ≥ 9

x/2 + 4 ≥ 9/6

x/2 + 4 ≥ 3/2

Now, subtract 4 from both sides:

x/2 ≥ 3/2 - 4

x/2 ≥ -5/2

Read the passage.Colony Collapse Disorder In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something newand troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened? The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer. But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult. The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causespathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.Question 1Part AWhich inference can be made about the cause of CCD in Colony Collapse Disorder?It is a threat that needs to be identified as soon as possible.It is very complex and will be challenging to overcome.It affects bees most seriously but threatens other pollinators also.It will impact humans and affect their health in the future.Question 2Part BWhich statement from "Colony Collapse Disorder" best supports the answer in Part A?The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causespathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss.The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms.Without [honeybees], both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.Scientists rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers.Please answer it i dont have much time 30 points!
