Chris buys 2 identical bags of cherries to make a pie.
There are more than 10 but less than 30 cherries in each bag.
Chris eats 7 cherries, then uses half of the rest in his pie.
Chris uses 11.5 cherries for his pie.
How many cherries were in each bag to start with?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  15

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

Explanation using mental math:

He uses 11.5 cherries for his pie, which is half the amount left (after eating those 7 cherries).

This means 2*11.5 = 23 cherries were left over after he ate those seven. In other words, half of 23 is 11.5

If we reverse time, then we get those 7 cherries back to get 7+23 = 30 cherries total. Divide those up equally between the two bags and we get 30/2 = 15 cherries per bag.

Going forward in time we have 15 cherries per bag, so 2*15 = 30 total. He eats 7 to be left with 30-7 = 23 cherries. That cuts in half to 23/2 = 11.5 cherries for his pie.

---------------

Explanation using algebra

c = number of cherries in each bag.

10 < c < 30 based on the second sentence

2c = number of cherries total from both bags combined

2c-7 = the amount left after Chris eats those 7 cherries

(2c-7)/2 = he uses half of the remaining cherries for the pie

Set that equal to the 11.5 number stated and solve for c.

(2c-7)/2 = 11.5

2c-7 = 11.5*2

2c-7 = 23

2c = 23+7

2c = 30

c = 30/2

c = 15

We effectively follow similar steps as when we did the mental math route.

Notice how c = 15 makes 10 < c < 30 true.

if you follow the graph. it is a difference of 6 between each 2 points

so you don't have to solve with the formula

6/2 = 3 so 3 is your X

and you get larger as you go towards 0 so it is positive

and so add 6 to 10 because (-2,10) and you follow the 6 y for every 2 you go

so (0,16)

Answers

Answer:

24 min

Step-by-step explanation:

14-8 is 6 so you need to shrink it 6 feet until it has a daimiter of 8.

6 divided by .25 is 24 so you have your answer

14-.25x=8

The equation is 14 - 0.25x = 8.

It will take 24 minutes for the balloon to shrink.

What is equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Given:

A hot-air balloon has a 14-foot diameter.

Rate of 0.25 feet per minute.

Now, equation to represent the situation is

14 - 0.25x = 8

On further solving

6= 0.25x

x= 6/0.25

x= 24

Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 7,000 cm^3/min at the same time that water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The tank has height 6 m and the diameter at the top is 4 m. If the water level is rising at a rate of 20 cm/min when the height of the water is 2 m.

Required:
Find the rate (in cm^3/min) at which water is being pumped into the tank. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answers

The inflow rate of water is given by the function of the volume of the

tank derived from the shape of the tank.

Response:

The rate water is being pumped into the tank is approximately 286,253 cm³/min

Which method can be used to find the rate at which water is pumped into the tank?

The given parameter are;

Shape of the tank = Conical

Rate at which water is leaking out of the tank = 7,000 cm³/min

Height of the tank = 6 m

Diameter of the tank = 4 m

Solution:

We have;

[tex]\dfrac{D}{h} = \mathbf{\dfrac{2 \cdot r}{h}}[/tex]

[tex]r = \mathbf{\dfrac{D}{2 \cdot h}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{r}{h} = \dfrac{4}{6 \times 2} = \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]r= \mathbf{\dfrac{h}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot \left(\dfrac{h}{3} \right)^2 \cdot h = \mathbf{ \pi \cdot \dfrac{h}{27} ^3}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dh} = \mathbf{\pi \cdot \dfrac{h}{9} ^2}[/tex]

By using chain rule of differentiation, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{\dfrac{dV}{dh} \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{\pi \cdot \dfrac{h}{9} ^2\times 20}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \cdot \dfrac{200}{9} ^2\times 20 \approx 279,252.68[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{Inflow \ rate - Outflow \ rate}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]Inflow \ rate = \mathbf{\dfrac{dV}{dt} + Outflow \ rate}[/tex]

Which gives;

Inflow rate ≈ 279,252.68 + 7000 = 286,252.68 ≈ 286,253

Answers

Answer:

y = 175. x = 300. Disney vacation is 300 sold. Cars sold were 175.

Step-by-step explanation:

They want to raise $80,000. There are a total of 475 tickets.

150x + 200y (Disney Vacation + Win a car) = 80,000

x + y = 475.

__
y=475-x

150x+200(475-x)=80000

150x+95,000-200x=80,000.

-50x + 95,000 = 80,000.

-50x = -15,000

x = 300.

Disney vacation is 300 sold.

300 + y = 475.

y = 175.

Cars sold were 175.

What is the Equation of a parabola?

y = a(x-h)² + k

a defines how narrower is the parabola, and the "-" or "+" that the parabola will open up or down.

x=-3

x+3=0

Now, Let A(x,y) be any point in the plane of the directrix and focus, and MA be the perpendicular distance from A to the directrix, therefore, A lies on parabola if FA=MA,

Wyatt is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1. 25 and each ride costs $2. 75. Wyatt spent $20. 25 altogether at the carnival and the number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played. Determine the number of games Wyatt played and the number of rides Wyatt went on.

Answers

In the carnival the number of games number of rides Wyatt went on is 3 and 6 respectively.

What is system of equation?

A system of equation is the set of equation in which the finite set of equation is present for which the common solution is sought.

The number of unknown objects can be find using the system of solution.

Given information-

The cost of each game is $1.25.

The cost of each ride is $2.75.

Total amount of money spent by the Wyatt is $20.25.

The number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played.

Suppose the number of games Wyatt played is x and the number of rides he went in the carnival is y.

As, the number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played. Thus,

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

Let the above equation as equation one.

As total amount of money spent by the Wyatt is $20.25 and The cost of each game is $1.25 and the cost of each ride is $2.75. Thus,

[tex]1.25x+2.75y=20.25\\[/tex]

Put the value of y in the above equation from the equation one as,

[tex]1.25x+2.75(2x)=20.25\\1.25x+5.5x=20.25\\6.75x=20.25\\x=3[/tex]

Thus the number of games he played is 3.

Put this value of x in the equation one as,

[tex]y=2\times3\\y=6[/tex]

Thus the number rides Wyatt went on is 6.

Hence, In the carnival the number of games number of rides, Wyatt went on is 3 and 6 respectively.

Answers

You use the formula

3000*.09*3=810

She will have to pay back the amount of $3,810.

What is the simple interest?

Simple interest is defined as interest paid on the original principal and calculated with the following formula:

S.I. = P × R × T, where P = Principal, R = Rate of Interest in % per annum, and T = Time, usually calculated as the number of years. The rate of interest is in percentage r% and is to be written as r/100.

We have been given data as:

Principal (P) = $3,000

Rate of Interest (R) = 9% = 9/100 = 0.09

Time (T) = three years

⇒ Simple interest  = P × R × T

Substitute the value of P, R, and T in the above formula,

⇒ Simple interest  = 3,000× 9% × 3

⇒ Simple interest  = 3,000× 9/100 × 3

⇒ Simple interest  = 3,000× 0.09 × 3

Apply the multiplication operation, and we get

⇒ Simple interest  = $810

The total payback amount = $3,000 + $810 = $3,810

Therefore, she will have to pay back the amount of $3,810.
