A hospital needs a supply of an expensive medicine. Company A has the most supply available, 1.7 milligrams, which is twice
the difference between the weight of Company B's supply and Company C's, and 0.9 milligram more than Company C's supply.How many milligrams can the hospital get from these three companies?

Answers

Answer 1

The hospital can get 4.15 milligrams from these three companies.

A linear equation is one in which the highest power of any variable is not more than 1. A linear equation in 2 variables can be solved by substitution method, if we have two simultaneous equations.

Here, we know that

Company A's supply of medicine = 1.7 mg

also, company A's supply = 2( B's supply - C's supply)

⇒ 1.7 = 2( B - C)

⇒ 1.7 = 2B - 2C .... (1)

Moreover, we are given that

A's supply = C's supply + 0.9

⇒ 1.7 = C + 0.9

⇒ 1.7 - 0.9 = C

⇒ 0.8 = C

Now, substituting the value of C in (1), we get,

1.7 = 2B - 2(0.8)

1.7 = 2B - 1.6

1.7 + 1.6 = 2B

⇒ B = 3.3/2

B = 1.65

Thus, the total supply from all three companies is (1.7 + 1.65 + 0.8) = 4.15 mg

Tina had $17. She bought candy that cost $0.78. Then, her mom gave her $6.76 three and a half times. How much money does she have now?

Answers

Answer:

$39.88

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with $17

spent $0.78 so

17-0.78 = $16.22

then she got $6.76 3.5 times so

6.76*3.5 = 23.66 and that's what her mom gave her

23.66 + 16.22 = 39.88

She now has a total of $39.88

the answer would be: 39.88

because

17-0.78=16.22

and

6.76*3.50=23.66

so

23.66+16.22=39.88

hope this helps

Seaver Books, a small book publishing company, wrote off the debt of The Learning Center, and the Academy of Basic Education, both small private schools, after it determined that the schools were facing serious financial difficulty. No notice of the action was sent to the schools; Seaver Books simply stopped sending bills. Nearly a year later, The Learning Center was given a large endowment and a government grant. The resulting publicity brought the school to the attention of Seaver Books, which immediately reinstated the account, and sent a new bill to the school, including interest for the entire time the debt was outstanding. No further action was taken regarding the Academy of Basic Education, which was still operational. Did Seaver Books act ethically in reinstating the debt of one client, and not the other? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Seaver Books and Ethical Practice

Yes.  Seaver Books acted ethically in reinstating the debt of The Learning Center and not that of the Academy of Basic Education.

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing off a doubtful debt or account is a determination that is done on a case-by-case basis.  When a customer's ability to repay a debt is in doubt, the reasonable act will be to write off the debt from the balance to ensure prudent accounting.  When the customer's ability to settle the debt is reassessed to be favorable, the debt can be reinstated accordingly.  However, it is better to restate the debt after the customer has settled the account and not before.  The good news is that customers are not usually informed that their accounts have been written off as doubtful and need not be informed of the reinstatement.

Rebounds did Mark have is x = 21

The Option C is correct.

Mark and Gary had a basketball game Saturday.

and, Mark had three times as many rebounds as Gary.

Together they had 28 rebounds.

To find the how many rebounds did Mark have?

Now, According to the question:

Based on the given conditions:

Let x be the rebounds mark

Mark had three times rebounds as Gary

then, formulate ;

x × (1 + 3)÷ 3 = 28

Solve the equation:
[x × (1 + 3)] / 3 = 28

(x × 4) / 3 = 28

x = 28 × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

x = 21

Hence, Rebounds did Mark have is x = 21

The Option C is correct.

10 ounces of orange juice for $2.40 or 8 ounces for $2.08?​

Answers

Answer: 10 ounces for $2.40

Step-by-step explanation: The trick behind these problems, always divide. 2.40/10ounces is $0.24. 2.08/8ounces is $0.26. Better deal, therefore smaller answer of the 2, because it's cheaper.

10 ounces of orange juice for $2.40

each ounce of orange juice for 8 ounces is 0.26

each ounce of orange juice for the 10 ounces would only be 0.24

so you are getting 2 more ounces of orange juice for only 0.48
