In 2001, gold was priced at (0.5x + 300) dollars per ounce. Its price tripled in 2008 and then doubled in 2011. In 2016, its price dropped to 2 3of the price in 2011.• Write an expression for the price of gold per ounce in 2016.• Explain how you found the expression. Write your expression and explanation in the space below

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Price of  gold in 2001 = (0.5x+300)

Its price tripled in 2008 and then doubled in 2011. In 2016, its price dropped to [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of the price in 2011.

To find:

An expression for the price of gold per ounce in 2016.

Solution:

We have,

Price of  gold in 2001 [tex]= (0.5x+300)[/tex]

Its price tripled in 2008.

Price of  gold in 2008 [tex]= 3(0.5x+300)[/tex]

Then doubled in 2011.

Price of  gold in 2011 [tex]= 2\times 3(0.5x+300)[/tex]

In 2016, its price dropped to [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of the price in 2011.

Price of  gold in 2016 [tex]=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 2\times 3(0.5x+300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=2\times 2(0.5x+300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=4(0.5x+300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=4(0.5x)+4(300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=2x+1200[/tex]

Therefore, the required expression for the price of gold per ounce is (2x+1200).

which of the following is the numerical coefficient of x2y2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Option II (1)

2) Option III (-5)

3) IV (None of these)

4) III (-4)

Answer:

1. The numerical coefficient of x^2y^2 is 1

2. -5

3. Monomial

4. -4(I know its x squared)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know if we multiply any number or variable with 1 it remains same.

here there is no number before (x^2)(y^2) so we assume it as 1.

Hence the answer is 1.

2. numerical coefficient is a constant multiplier of the variables in a term. In the term -5x2y, the numerical coefficient is -5. In the expression ax2 + bx + c, the numerical coefficient of the x2 term is "a" and the numerical coefficient of the x term is "b". "c" is properly referred to as the constant term.

3. in monomial there is only one term and pqr is only one term. binomial requires two terms like abc, pqr. and trinomial requires three terms like abc, pqr, mno.

4. -1^2 - 5 = -1 - 5 = -4 I know in rules of subtracting integer it equals to -4

To subtract integers, change the sign on the integer that is to be subtracted.

If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive.

If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative.

If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.

Answers

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Cindy deposited $350 into a savings account

The acct balance remains above $200

We are required to find the number of months that it will take to $30 a month

Let y represent the number of months

y × 30 < 350-200

30y < 150

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 30

30y/30 < 150/30

y < 5

Hence the number of months required is 5 months

Brad is hoping to package exactly 48 baseballs together. He sees the side of a box in his storeroom that is 2 x 3. What is he hoping the other dimension is? please help me out! I need the eqation and answer and a drawing of it too! Please help me out!

Answers

The given dimensions of the base of the box are 2 x 3 units.

Let h be the height of the box.

So, the volume of the box = 2 x 3 x h ...(i)

The shape of baseball is spherical and one baseball fits in a cubical box having the minimum dimensions equal to the diameter of the spherical ball.

Assuming the diameter of the baseball is d units.

So, the volume occupied by one baseball= volume of the cubical box having the side [tex]d[/tex] units.

[tex]=d^3[/tex] cubic units

So, the volume required to pack 48 baseballs

[tex]= 48 d^3 \cdots(ii)[/tex]

Assuming that all the baseballs fit in the box, i.e peripheral balls in every horizontal and vertical layer touched the box as shown in the figure.

So, the length, 3 units and the width, 2 units, must be the integral multiple of the diameter, [tex]d[/tex] units, of the baseball. i.e

The length, [tex]3 = ad\cdots(iii)[/tex]

The width, [tex]2=bd\cdots(iv)[/tex]

The height, [tex]h=cd\cdots(iv)[/tex]

where [tex]a,b[/tex] and [tex]c[/tex]  belong to the natural number.

This required volume must be equals to the volume of the box.

From equations (i) and (ii),

[tex]2\times 3\times h=48d^3[/tex]

 [from (iii) and (iv)]

[tex]\Rightarrow abhd^2=48d^3[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow h=\frac{48d^3}{6abd^2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow h=\frac{48}{ab}d[/tex]

On comparing with the equation (iv)

[tex]c=\frac{48}{ab}\cdots(v)[/tex]

Now, if the diameter of the baseball is unity,i.e, d=1 unit

( integer) and (integer) [from (iii) and (iv)]

(also an integer)  [from (v)]

Now, the height of the box,

[tex]h=8 \times 1= 8[/tex] unit.

Hence, the other dimension of the box, is 8 units corrosponding to the unity diameter of the baseball.

Note the height of the box depends on the diameter of the baseball, so it will have infinite possible value for different value of the diameter.

For example, the value of height for d=1 unit has been shown.

and another example may be if units, then (integer) and (integer)

(also an integer)  [from (v)]

Now, the height of the box,

[tex]h=2 \times 0.5= 1[/tex] unit. [from (iv)]

Here, the height of the box is 2 units corrosponding to 0.5 unit diameter of the baseball.

The possivle values of d can be taken for which [tex]a,b[/tex] and [tex]c[/tex] must be integers.

Anoushka needs to stain the circular wooden deck in the backyard. The deck has a diameter of 30 feet. A gallon of stain covers approximately 250 square feet. Each gallon is $33.99. How much will Anoushka spend in order to stain the deck? Use 3.14 to approximate .

Answers

Answer:

$101.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of circular wooden deck = 30 ft

Radius of the deck = ½ of diameter = ½*30 = 15 ft

Area of deck = πr² = 3.14*15² = 706.5 ft²

1 gallon covers 250 ft² (1 gallon = 250 ft²)

Let x be the number of gallons that will cover 706.5 ft² of the deck

Thus:

1 gallon = 250 ft²

x = 706.5 ft²

Cross multiply

1*706.5 = 250*x

706.5/250 = x

2.826 = x

Number of gallons to cover the deck is approximately 3 gallons (approximated to nearest whole number). Since the we can't buy a gallon that is not full, we approximate to give us 3 gallons.

1 gallon cost $33.99 (1 gallon = $33.99)

3 gallons cost: 3*33.99 = $101.97

A total of $68.75 was spent on pizza and sodas at the party. Let n be the number of pizzas purchased. Set up an equation involving n that models the scenario. Solve it and state both the number of pizzas and the number of sodas that were bought.

Answers

Answer:

n + s = $68.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent on pizza and soda = $68.75

Number of pizza = n

The soda = s

Then the total amount soe t can be modeled thus :

(number of pizzas + number of soda) = total amount spent

n + s = $68.75

If the price of each slice of pizza and unit of soda was given, we could have been able to calculate the amount spent on each of soda and pizza.

Two pounds of raw materials are needed to produce one product. The desired ending balance of raw materials is 10% of the of the next month's production needs. (Refer to your answer in Activity Sheet 05). The beginning inventory of raw materials is 4,000 pounds and raw material cost per unit is P 0.50/per pound.

Answers

Answer:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Two pounds of raw materials are needed to produce one product.

The desired ending balance of raw materials is 10% of the next month's production needs.

The beginning inventory of raw materials is 4,000 pounds.

The raw material cost per unit is $0.50 per pound.

To calculate the direct material purchase required for a given month, we need the production for each month. I will provide the formula and a small example to guide an answer.

To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

For example:

Production:

January= 5,000 units

February= 4,500 units

Direct material purchases January:

Production= 5,000*2= 10,000

Desired ending inventory= (4,500*2)*0.1= 900

Beginning inventory= (4,000)

Total purchase in pounds= 6,900

Total direct material cost= 6,900*0.5= $3,450
