A worker at a snack stand opened a new box of cups. On the first day, the worker used 30 cups from the box. On the second day, the worker used 15% of the remaining cups in the box. A total of 90 cups were used on the second day. What was the original number of cups in the box before any cups were used?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

630 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

This problem is most easily solved backward, i.e., from the final data up to the beginning.

There was a new box of cups and the worker at a snack stand opened it. He first used 30 cups from the box and the second day he uses 15% of the remaining cups in the box, and we are told that represents 90 cups.

If 15% (0.15) equals 90 cups, then the number of cups before the second day was 90/0.15 = 600 cups.

On the first day, we used 30 cups, thus the original number of cups in the box was 600+30=630 cups

you would need 4 buses to bring all the students because you would still have some students left to ride the bus if you only get 3 buses

They will need 4 buses.

What is division?

The division in mathematics is one kind of operation. In this process, we split the expressions or numbers into the same number of parts.

Given:

For the class field trip,

the fourth grades at Jefferson Elementary School need to take buses.

Each bus fits 55 students,

and there are 200 students in fourth grade.

The number of buses,

= 200/55

= 3.63

The cost of painting a wall that is 5 meters wide and 2 1/2 meters tall is $50. How many square meters can be painted for $1?

please answer asap

Answers

Answer: If the a and b of your formula mean how many hours it takes each

person, like a = 2 and b = 1, then the formula gives 3/2 or 1 hour and

30 minutes.  This is not reasonable, since one of the painters alone

could do it in 1 hour.  

Actually, your formula is UPSIDE DOWN. It should be (a*b)/(a+b).

Here's why.  

Let h be the number of hours it takes for the two of them to do it

together. The first person could do it all in a hours, but can paint

only a fraction of the wall working h hours. Assuming a constant rate

of painting, that fraction is h/a. That is, the first painter will

paint h/a of the wall in h hours.  

Similarly, the second painter will paint h/b of the wall in that time.

So, when will they be done? When the whole wall is painted, which

happens whenever those 2 fractions add up to 1.  

You need to solve the following equation:

 (h/a) + (h/b) = 1  

     h*b + h*a = a*b           Multiplying through by a*b

       h*(b+a) = a*b           Factoring out h

             h = (a*b)/(a+b)   Dividing both sides by b+a

Okay, now say 3 painters could do it in a hours, b hours or c hours,

respectively. Let h be the number of hours they all must work to get

it all painted. The first painter finishes h/a of the wall in that

amount of time. The other 2 painters manage to paint h/b of the wall

and h/c of the wall in that time.  Since h is the time to finish the

job, all 3 of these fractions must add up to the whole wall, or 1.  

So you have the equation:

   

       h     h     h        

      --- + --- + ---  =  1

       a     b     c    

 

Solve this for h (start by multiplying through by a*b*c) and you will

get the generalized formula for 3 painters. It's not the formula you

wrote above but I think you can finish it off.

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 11.1 in and a base with a
circumference of 17.6 in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.

Answers

Answer:

V = 0.8 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

V = πr^2(h/3)

C = 2πr

Given:

h=11.1

C = 17.6

C = 2πr

17.6 = 22πr

0.8/π = r

V = πr^2(h/3)

V = π(0.8/π)^2((11.1)/3)

V = π(0.0648455575)(3.7)

V = 0.8 in^3

If the pitcher throws a strike the next pitch is a fastbal 40% of the time. If the pitcher doesn't throw a strike the next pitch is a fastball 80% of the time.

Answers

Answer:

0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let P(Throwing strike) = 0.35

So,

P(S') = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

P(A / B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

P(Throwing fastball and thrown strike) = P(F / S) = 40% = 0.4

P(Throwing fastball  not thrown  strike) = P(F / S') = 80%

P(Throwing fastball  not thrown  strike) =0.8

So,

P(F and S) = 0.8 x 0.65

P(F and S) = 0.52

P(F) = [P(F / S) x P(S)] + [P(F / S') x P(S')]

= (0.4 x 0.35) + (0.8  x 0.65)

= 0.14 + 0.52

= 0.66

40:10=12:3


Solution:

Since
40 : 10 = 12 : X

Then we know
10/40 = X/12

Multiplying both sides by 12 cancels on the right
12 × (10/40) = (X/12) × 12
12 × (10/40) = X

Then solving for X
X = 12 × (10/40)
X = 3

Therefore
40 : 10 = 12 : 3

[tex]\boxed{\boxed {\sf 3. \ 9.4}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, recall the three basic right triangle trigonometry ratios.

sin(θ)=opposite/hypotenuse cos(θ)= adjacent/hypotenuse tan(θ)= opposite/adjacent

Theta (θ) represents the angle. The angle (other than the right angle) is 70 degrees.

We are also given 2 sides: 10 and x.

10 is the hypotenuse, because it is opposite the right angle. x is opposite the 70 degree angle.

Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we must use sine.

[tex]sin (\Theta)= \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

The angle is 70 degrees, the opposite is x, and the hypotenuse is 10.

[tex]sin(70)=\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

We are solving for x. We must isolate x on one side of the equation.

Currently, x is being divided by 10. To "undo" the division, we must perform the inverse operation, which is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 10.

[tex]10*sin(70)=\frac{x}{10}*10[/tex]
