Wesley always estimates his grocery store total as he shops. while at silver street groceries this morning, he estimated his total purchase would be $50, but it was actually $46.10. what is the percent error for his estimate?

if necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

50-46.10=3.9

you then divide 3.9 by 46.10 and you get 0.0845...

so you estimate and get your answer

Answer 2

The percent error in Wesley's estimate is 8.5% if the estimated total purchase is $50 and the actual total purchase is $46.10.

What is Percentage?

Percentage is a form of writing numbers as part of 100. The symbol used to denote percentage is '%'.

Percentage of a number can be calculated by dividing the number with the whole and then multiplying with 100.

Percentage is a dimensionless number because it has no measurement units.

The percent error can be calculated by the formula,

Percent error = [(Estimated value - Actual value)/ actual value] × 100

Estimated total purchase of groceries by Wesley = $50

Actual total purchase made by Wesley = $46.10

Percent error = [(50 - 46.10) / 46.10] × 100

                      = (3.9 / 46.10) × 100

                      = 0.0846 × 100

                      = 8.46%

                      ≈ 8.5%

Hence the percent error for the estimation of total purchase of groceries by Wesley is 8.5%.

A student adds 10 grams of four different powdered solids into four different beakers. The student then adds 100 mL of water to each beaker, stirs the mixtures, and allows them to sit for half an hour before recording observations. Which question is the student most likely trying to answer with this investigation?

Answers

Answer:

Which substance dissolves in water?

Step-by-step explanation:

The student adds the same amount of substance of different types i.e., 10 grams to each beaker and the same amount of water i.e., 100 mL to each beaker. All of them are stirred and observations are taken down at the end of thirty minutes.

That is all that is mentioned in the question. The student is most likely measuring which substance dissolves in water. As all the other variables are kept constant.

So, the student here is most likely trying to answer the question "Which substance dissolves in water?"

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y=2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for slope intercept form is y=mx+b where b is the y intercept and m is the slope. From the graph we can see that where x is 0 y is 2 which makes 2 be the y intercept, and when x is 1 y is 4 which then you replace y for 4 and x for 1 which would be 4=m(1)+2,now u subtract 2 from both sides which leaves you with 2=m(1) and m times 1 is m so now your left with 2=m which means the slop is 2

The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 units. The length of the rectangle, L, is 7 units.

Answers

Answer:

L=7

W=13

Perimeter=40

Area=91

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2L+2W

40=2(7)+2W

40=14+2W

-14  -14

26=2W

Divide both sides by 2

13=W

Area=L x W

7 x 13 = 91

Answer:

length = 7 units

width = 13 units

area = 91  square units

perimeter = 40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the area of a rectangle?

  ❖ The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length and

       width of the rectangle.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

  ❖ The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all sides- length and

       width. In this case, we're given the perimeter as 40 units and the

       length as 7 units, but the width is unknown. Formula to find

       perimeter of rectangle is 2(l + w) = P.

An equation is a statement that equates to two expressions.

We know the above equation represents an ellipse.

A system of linear equations is given by these equations 3y-2x=-9 y=-2x+5 The solution to this system is

Answers

Answer:

(3, -1) or x=3, y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

using substitution for y, the first equation becomes 3(-2x + 5) - 2x = -9

distribution of the 3 gets your equation to be -6x + 15 - 2x = -9

from here you combine like terms to get -8x + 15 = -9

from here it's just a two step equation

subtract 15 from both side to get -8x = -24

divide and get x = 3

substitute x in the equation for y to get y = -2(3) + 5

distribution gets you y = -6 + 5, which makes y = -1

to check your work you can just plug in the variables equivalents in the first equation, which upon doing you can see that the answer is indeed 3, -1
