Oliver estimates the weight of of his cat to be 16 pounds. The actual weight of the cat is 14.25 pounds. What is the percent error of Oliver's estimate rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Estimated weight of a cat = 16 pounds

Actual weight of that cat = 14.25 pounds

To find:

The percent error to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{\text{Estimated value - Actual value}}{\text{Actual value}}\times 100[/tex]

Using the above formula, we get

[tex]\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{16-14.25}{14.25}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{1.75}{14.25}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent error}=0.122807\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent error}=12.2807[/tex]

Round the percent error to the nearest tenth of a percent.

[tex]\text{Percent error}\approx 12.3[/tex]

Therefore, the percent error is 12.3%.

Answers

Answer:

a) $0.83

b) k = 1.205

c) In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara has opened her own bakery, where customers can buy three chocolate chip cookies for $2.49.

a. What is the unit price?

The unit price means the cost of 1 cookie

Hence:

3 chocolate chip cookies = $2.49

1 chocolate chip cookies = x

3x = $2.49 × 1

x = $2.49 × 1/3

x = $0.83

Hence, the unit price = $0.83

b. What is the constant of proportionality, or k?

Chocolate chip cookie ∝ Price

Chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to the Price

C = kP

Where k is constant of proportionality

k = Chocolate chip cookie/Price

k = C/P

Hence,

k = 3/2.49

k = 1.2048192771

k = 1.205

c. In a complete sentence, explain what k means in the context of this problem.

In the context of this problem, k means

An artist plans a sculpture by stacking two cubes. Write an algebraic expression the artist can use to find the volume of the sculpture. Then find the volume of the sculpture when x = 4cm. *Hint: V=s3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V= 2x^3[/tex]

The volume is 128cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Cubes = 2[/tex]

[tex]Sides = 4cm[/tex]

Required

Determine an expression for its volume

Find the volume

Volume of a cube is:

[tex]Volume = x^3[/tex]

Where x represents the length of a side

So, volume of 2 cubes would be:

[tex]V= x^3 + x^3[/tex]

[tex]V= 2x^3[/tex]

Solving (b): Volume when x = 4

Substitute 3 for x in [tex]V= 2x^3[/tex]

[tex]V = 2 * 4^3[/tex]

[tex]V = 2 * 64[/tex]

[tex]V = 128[/tex]

Hence, the volume is 128cm^3

  3.  m∠A < 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle NGS, marked as 80°, has a measure that is the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles: GAN, GNA.

If we assume that angle measures cannot be zero, then we must have ...

  m∠A +m∠N = 80°

  m∠A = 80° -m∠N

Since m∠N > 0, the measure of angle A must be less than 80°.

This conclusion matches choice 3.

You are making a new type of deodorant from two different mixtures the first mixture is 30% smell proof and the second mixture is 80% smell proof to make a safe make sure it needs to be 50% smell proof how much of each makes you need if you want 1000 L total

Answers

Answer:

600 L of 30% proof and 400 L of 80% proof is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of 30% smell proof be x while that of 80% smell proof is y

Then;

x + y = 1000 •••••(i)

Also;

30% of x + 80% of y = 50% of 1000

0.3x + 0.8y = 500 •••••(ii)

From i, x = 1000 - y

Put this into ii

0.3(1000-y) + 0.8y = 500

300 - 0.3y + 0.8y = 500

0.5y = 500-300

0.5y = 200

y = 200/0.5

y = 400 L

But x = 1000 - y

x = 1000 - 400 = 600 L

What is Linear equation in one variable?

The linear equation in one variable is an equation which is represent in the form of ax + b = c, where a and b are two integers and x is a variable and has only one solution.

Here, Plan A costs $5 per month plus $2.50 per movie watched.

A = 5 + 2.50 x

here, x is movies per month.

And Plan B costs $24 per month  plus $1.50 per movie watched.

B = 24 + 1.50 x

When Lydia plans on watching 21 movies each month.

x = 21

⇒ A = 5 + 2.50 (21) = 57.50

⇒ B = 24 + 1.50 (21) = 55.50

So, Lydia Plan B would be 2 dollars cheaper than plan A.

Manny is buying new clothes for school. He buys three shirts for $14.95 each and a tie for $12. Everything in the store is on sale for 15% off. What is Manny's total cost?

Answers

Given:

Cost of each shirt = $14.95

Cost of a tie = $12

Discount on Sale = 15% off

Manny buys three shirts and a tie.

To find:

The Manny's total cost.

Solution:

We have,

Cost of 1 shirt = $14.95

Cost of 3 shirt = 3 × $14.95

                       = $44.85

Cost of a tie = $12

Total cost before discount = Cost of 3 shirt + Cost of a tie

                                            = $44.85 + $12

                                            = $56.85

Everything in the store is on sale for 15% off. So,

[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=56.85-\dfrac{15}{100}\times 56.85[/tex]

[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=56.85-0.15\times 56.85[/tex]

[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=56.85-8.5275[/tex]

[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=48.3225[/tex]

Therefore, the Manny's total cost is $48.3225.

Expand the parentheses on the left hand side of the expression;

    -10 + 8x < 6x - 4

Collect like terms to both sides;
