If grapes are 92% water and raisins are 20% water by weight, then how much did a quantity of raisins, which currently weighs 10 pounds, weigh when all the raisins were grapes
10 lbs of raisins contains 20% water by weight, so they contain
0.20 × (10 lbs) = 2 lbs
of water. This means the non-water portion of the raisins weighs 8 lbs. This weight stays the same throughout the drying process.
As grapes, they had a total weight of
8 lbs + w
where w is the water weight, and w happens to be 92% of this total weight. So
w = 0.92 × (8 + w)
Solve for w :
w = 7.36 + 0.92w
0.08w = 7.36
w = 92
Then the total weight of the grapes before they dried out is 100 lbs.
Hannah went to the school store to buy supplies and spent $16. She bought four more pencils than pens and two fewer erasers than pens. Pens cost $1.25 each, pencils cost $0.55 each, and erasers cost $0.75 each. If x represents the number of pens Hannah bought, write an equation in terms of x that can be used to find how many of each item she bought. Use your equation to determine algebraically how many pens Hannah bought.
The algebaraic equation required is :
2.55x + 0.7 = 16
The number of pens Hannah bought is 6
If :
x = number of pens
4 more pencils Than pens ; Number of pencils = x + 4
2 fewer erasers than pens ; number of erasers = x - 2
Total amount spent = $16
The total number of items bought is :
(x) + (x + 4) + (x - 2)
Multiplying by the cost of each :
1.25x + 0.55(x+4) + 0.75(x-2)
Hence, Total amount spent can be represented as :
1.25x + 0.55(x+4) + 0.75(x-2) = 16
1.25x + 0.55x + 2.2 + 0.75x - 1.50 = 16
2.55x + 0.7 = 16
The algebraic equation is : 2.55x + 0.7 = 16
The number of pens Hannah bought can be calculated thus :
2.55x + 0.7 = 16
2.55x = 16 - 0.7
2.55x = 15.30
x = 15.30 / 2.55
x = 6

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: x = the number of pens Hannah bought
(x + 4) = the number of pencils Hannah bought
(x - 2) = the number of erasers Hannah bought
The equation to solve would be 1.25x + 0.55(x + 4) + 0.75(x - 2) = 16
1.25x + 0.55(x + 4) + 0.75(x - 2) = 16.00
1.25x + 0.55x + 4 * 0.55 + 0.75x - 2 * 0.75 = 16.00
1.25x + 0.55x + 2.20 + 0.75x - 1.50 = 16.00
1.25x + 0.55x + 0.75x = 15.30
2.55x = 15.30
x = 6
Note: if you didn't get a Whole Number, you know that you must've made a mistake. You can't buy part of a pen or pencil or eraser.
x = the number of pens Hannah bought = 6
(x + 4) = the number of pencils Hannah bought = 6 + 4 = 10
(x - 2) = the number of erasers Hannah bought = 6 - 2 = 4
You can check your work: 1.25(6) + 0.55(6 + 4) + 0.75(6 - 2) = 1.25(6) + 0.55(10) + 0.75(4) = 16 (check!)

when the tank had 8000 litres in it. Ron said it was 2/3 full. How much did it hold when it was full?
Answer:
12000
plss mark brainliest
Step-by-step explanation:
8000÷2/3
Explanation:
x = full tank capacity
2/3 of x = (2/3)*x = 8000 which is the amount Ron states when its 2/3 full
To solve for x, we will multiply both sides by 3 and then divide both sides by 2 like so
(2/3)x = 8000
2x = 8000*3
2x = 24000
x = 24000/2
x = 12000 liters is the full capacity
Note that,
2/3 of 12000 = (2/3)*12000 = 8000
which confirms our answer.

Please explain. I think it’s a two step equation.
Answer:
[tex] k = \dfrac{5}{3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
It is actually a one-step equation.
If you have a number multiplying a variable equaling another number, then you need to do only one operation to solve; you need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the number multiplying the variable.
Here we have
[tex] \dfrac{3}{2} = \dfrac{9}{10}k [/tex]
First, switch sides to have the variable, k, on the left side.
[tex] \dfrac{9}{10}k = \dfrac{3}{2} [/tex]
You have a variable, k, multiplied by a number, the fraction 9/10, equaling another number, 3/2. To solve for k, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 9/10 which is 10/9.
[tex] \dfrac{10}{9} \times \dfrac{9}{10}k = \dfrac{10}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{2} [/tex]
On the left side, you have the product of two reciprocals, 10/9 and 9/10, which equals 1, leaving just k.
On the right side, you must multiply the fraction 10/9 by 3/2 and then reduce.
[tex] k = \dfrac{30}{18} [/tex]
[tex] k = \dfrac{5}{3} [/tex]

A soda company has determined that it's profit during lunch on a given day
could be modeled by the function P(s)=-1/3s^2+ 10s + 8 where P is the profit
and s is the number of sodas sold. Determine the amount of sodas that would
maximize profit and how much the company would earn.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
15 sodas will give a maximum profit of 83
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic ax^2 +bx +c, the maximum occurs at x = -b/(2a). Here, we have ...
a = -1/3, b = 10
x = -b/(2a) = -10/(2(-1/3)) = 15
The profit for sale of 15 sodas is ...
P(15) = (-1/3s +10)s +8 = (-1/3(15) +10)(15) +8 = 5(15) +8 = 83
The company would earn a maximum of 83 from sale of 15 sodas.

After t hours, the first truck covers a distance of (70 km/h) t while the second truck covers a distance of (80 km/h) t. So the distance between them is
(70 km/h) t + (80 km/h) t = (150 km/h) t

(150 km/h) t = 900 km ===> t = (900 km) / (150 km/h) = 6 h
An experiment to determine how many breaths a squirrel takes per minute yields this data: minute 1: 65 breaths;minute 2: 73 breaths; minute 3: 67 breaths; minute 4: 71 breaths; minute 5: 62 breaths. Calculate the average number of breaths per minute.
The average number of breaths per minute would be 67.6 breaths per minute.
Average can be calculated by dividing the sum of the observation by the number of observations,
[tex]Average = \frac{sum of observations}{number of observation}[/tex]
Step by step Explanation:
Over the course of 5 minutes, the squirrel takes
65 + 73 + 67+ 71+ 62 = 338 breaths in 5 minutes
So, the sum of observation = 338 and
the number of observations = 5
So If you take that number and divide it by the number of minutes, you will get the average.
[tex]=\frac{338}{5}[/tex]
67.6 breaths per minute.
Thus, the correct answer is - 67.6 breaths per minute.
