Ram bough some pen for Rs 90. If he paid Rs 1 less for each he would have 3 more pens. How many pens did he buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Based on the fact that Ram bought some pens and they cost Rs.90 but if he had paid Rs.1 less for each he would have 3 more pens, the number of pens he bought is 6 pens.

What number of pens did Ram buy?

This can be represented as:

(x + 3) (y - 3) = 90

Where xy = 90

xy - 3x + 3y - 9 = xy

3y - 3x - 9 = 0

y - x - 3 = 0

x - y + 3 = 0

Solving further gives:

x - 90/ x + 3 = 0

x² + 3x - 90 = 0

Remembering that:

90 = 9 x 10

= 3 x 3 x 2 x 5

= 15 x -6

Going back to the formula:

x (x + 15) - 6 (x + 15)

(x + 15) (x - 6) = 0

x - 6 = 0

x = 6 pens

In conclusion, the number of pens bought was 6 pens.

If the average work week was 43 hours in 2009 and 42 hours and 30 minutes in 2010, by what percentage did the average number of hours worked per week drop from 2009 to 2010?

Answers

The average number of hours worked per week drop from 2009 to 2010 dropped by 1.16%

How to determine the percentage change?

The average work weeks are given as:

Year 2009 = 43 hours

Year 2010 = 42 hours 30 minutes

Rewrite as:

Year 2010 = 42.5 hours

The percentage change is then calculated as:

Percentage change= (Final - Initial)/Initial * 100%

So, we have:

Percentage change= (42.5 - 43)/43* 100%

Evaluate

Percentage change= -1.16%

The probability of a meerkat living smaller than 16.1 years exists at 99.85%.

How to estimate the probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years by using empirical rule?

That exists 68% of the data lose within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% loses within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% declines within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

68% declines within (10.4 ± 1.9). 68% declines within 8.5 years to 12.3 years.

Probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years

= 100% - (100% - 99.7%)/2

if your restaurant serves 50 bowls of French onion soup daily and each serving has 8 ounces of onion per portion. Do you think it would be better to purchase whole onions at $1.99 per pound, and cut them yourself, or purchase pre-sliced onions at $2.99 per pound? Explain your rationale using a cost and portion argument

Answers

The second option saves time and cleaning elements, so that one is better.

Which option is better?

We know that every day you sell a total of 50 bowls, and each one needs 8 oz of onion, this means that you need:

50*8 oz = 400 oz

So you need 400 ounces of onion per day.

If you buy at $1.99 per pound (1 lb = 16 oz)

Then the cost per ounce is:

c = $1.99/16

And the cost of 400 ounces is:

C = ($1.99/16)*400 = $49.75

In the case of the pre-sliced onions, the total cost would be:

C' = ($2.99/16)*400 = $74.75

So in the first case, each portion costs:

$49.75/50 = $0.995

And in the second case:

$74.75/50 =$1.495

So the extra cost is returned by the extra time and savings in cleaning elements, thus, the second option is better.

The measure of D, perimeter and area of a parallelogram are 150°, 82cm and 200 square centimeters respectively. Option A

How to determine the area and perimeter

For the parallelogram ABCD, it can be deduced that

Line AB and CD are parallel and AD is a transversal so the angles A and D is co-interior , Co-interior angles are said to be supplementary whose sum is 180 degrees

A + D = 180°

30° + D = 180°

D = 180° - 30°

D = 150°

Perimeter = 2 ( a + b)

a = 16cm, b = 25cm

Perimeter = 2 (  16 + 25) = 2 ( 41)

Perimeter = 82 cm

Area = b × h

base = 25cm , h = 8cm

Area = 25 × 8

Area = 200 square centimeters

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n , it can sell and the price, p , it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $30 , while 3,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $14 . Find a linear equation in the form p(n)=mn+b that gives the price p they can charge for n shirts.



Because this answer involves an expression that is more complex than a whole number times n , remember to type in multiplication symbols *. For example, if you wanted to enter 12n , type this in as (1/2)*n.

Answers

The value P price they charges for shirts is (-0.008n) + 38

According to the statement

we have given that the 1,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $30 , while 3,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $14 .

And we have to find the linear equation.So,

Let p = price

n = number of shirts

m = slope of the line   (note, the more shirts, the lower the price, so we know it's going to be negative)

b = y intercept

And they gives us the two points like here (1000, $30) and (3000, $14) which have to be on our line.

To find the slope m, you use m = (p₁-p₂)/(n₁-n₂)

Filling in from our points       m = (30-14)/(1000-3000)

                                         m = 16/-2000

                                         m = -0.008

Now that we have the slope and a point, we can find our equation

p-p₁=m(n-n₁)

p-30=(-.008)(n-1000)

p-30= (-.008n) + 8

p=(-.008n) + 38

So, The value P price they charges for shirts is (-0.008n) + 38
