A movie theater decreased the size of its popcorn bags by 20%. If the new bags hold 12 cups of popcorn, how much did the original bags hold? Nasser used the equation 0.20x = 12 Abraham used the equation 0.80x = 12 Kathleen used the equation 1.20x = 12 Decide who used the correct equation and defend your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Abraham

Step-by-step explanation:

Abraham used the correct equation because if we represent the original size as 100% and decrease that by 20 it would be 80% or 0.8

Nasser's equation will solve for the change in price

Kathleen's equation solves for if the popcorn size was increased by 20%

Answer 2

Answer:

nasser

Step-by-step explanation:

0.20 = 20/100=20%

2. Lorena is trying to choose between two different savings accounts at H-Town Bank. She will deposit $3,500 dollars and will leave the money in the account for 12 years. There will be no additional money deposited or withdrawn from the account.​

Answers

Answer:

First of all, this question is not complete. So, we will be hypothetically create two accounts and try to choose the one with the greater profit.

Choice 1 = X = Final Amount after 12 years = $5600

Choice 2 = Y = Final Amount after 12 years = $6285.50

Hence, Lorena should choose choice 2, as it gives more profit over than choice 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, this question is not complete. So, we will be hypothetically create two accounts and try to choose the one with the greater profit.

Initial Deposit Amount = $3500

Time period = 12 years

Let's Suppose Lorena has two X and Y choices of accounts at H-town Bank.

X = simple interest of 5% over the initial amount for 12 years.

Y = Compound interest 5% over the initial amount for 12 years.

Solution:

Let's calculate the profit for choice 1 = X

Simple interest = 5%

Initial amount = $3500

Time period = 12 years

Formula = A = P (1 + rt)

where, A = Final amount after 12 years

t = time period in years  = 12

P = initial amount to be deposited = $3500

r = annual interest rate = 5%

Plug in the values to get the total amount.

A = 3500(1+0.05x12)

A = $5600 = final amount Lorena will get after 12 years.

Let's calculate the profit for choice 2 = Y

Compound interest = 5%

Initial amount = $3500

Time period = 12 years

Formula = A = P [tex](\frac{r}{n} + 1)^{nt}[/tex]

where,

A = Final amount after 12 years

t = time period in years  = 12

P = initial amount to be deposited = $3500

r = annual interest rate = 5%

n = number of times interest rate is applied or compounded. = 12

Plug in the values to get the total amount.

A = P [tex](\frac{r}{n} + 1)^{nt}[/tex]

A = $6285.50

Hence, Lorena should choose choice 2, as it gives more profit over than choice 1.

how many solutions does the system of equations have?(1 point)

A-one
B-two
C-infinitely many
D-none

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'll isolate the x in x+4y=5 to match with the other equation.

The new equation would be x= -4y+5

Next, we will multiply one equation by 3 and the other by -1 for both to match with the other.

-1(-12y + 15 = 3x )

3(-4y + 5 = x)

The new equations would be :

12y - 15 = -3x

-12y + 15 = 3x

Add the equations and you get

0 = 0

The equation has an infinite amount of solutions

Sonya made a graph showing the first ten minutes of her drive to the movies.

A graph with time on the x-axis and speed on the y-axis. The graph increases, increases rapidly, and then remains constant.

Which description is the best interpretation of the graph?
Sonya left her house and accelerated as she drove toward the highway entrance. She increased her speed as she drove up the ramp to the highway and then drove a constant speed on the highway.
Sonya backed out of her driveway at a constant speed and then accelerated until she reached the street where the movie was playing. She stopped the car.
Sonya drove down her driveway at a constant speed until she reached the street. She turned and drove down the street at a constant speed. Her car went slower as she drove up a hill. At the top of the hill she drove into the parking lot of the movie theater.
Sonya accelerated as she drove down her driveway. She accelerated on the street on her way to the highway entrance. She waited for a red light, then accelerated onto the highway.

Choose the graph of the solution set.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\bf \leadsto Option \ A \ is \ correct . }}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the number line refer to the attachment :

A linear inequality is given to us . And we need to find the correct number line. So the given linear inequality is :-

[tex]\bf \implies 5x + 3 > 4x + 7 \\\\\bf\implies 5x - 4x > 7 - 3 \\\\\bf\implies \boxed{\red{\bf x > 4 }}[/tex]

This implies that the value of x is Greater than 4 . That is the inequality can have all the values more than 4. So when we see the given number lines we see that the first number line represents all values greater than 4 .

Hence the first graph of the solution set represents the given linear inequality.

Oak Street and Elm Street run parallel to each other. When Main Street
intersects them, it forms interior 26, measuring 70°. What is the measure of
24?

Answers

Answer:

110°

Step-by-step explanation:

The consecutive interior angles theorem states that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the pair of angles formed which lie inside the parallel lines  on the same side of the transversal are known as consecutive interior angles. This consecutive interior angles are supplementary (that is add up to 180°).

Therefore:

∠4 and ∠6 are consecutive interior angles. Hence:

∠4 + ∠6 = 180° (sum of co-interior angles)

∠4 + 70 = 180

∠4 = 180 - 70

∠4 = 110°

Answer:

110°

of Sally's and Jimmy's be the same? How many plates will the cost of

Sally's and Jimmy's be the same? *

Answers

Answer:

20 Plates

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sally's kitchen :

Setup cost = $60

Cost per plate = $12

Jimmy's BBQ :

Setup cost = $100

Cost per plate = $10

Let number of plates = x

Equate both and solve for x :

Sally's kitchen = Jimmy's BBQ

60 + 12x = 100 + 10x

12x - 10x = 100 - 60

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20

20 plates
