A band of 17 pirates stole a sack of gold coins. When they tried to divide the fortune into equal portions, 3 coins remained. In the ensuing brawl over who should get the extra coins, one pirate was killed. The wealth was redistributed, but this time an equal division left 10 coins. Again an argument developed in which another pirate was killed. But now the total fortune was evenly distributed among the survivors. What was the least number of coins that could have been stolen
Answer:
The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the beginning, there are N coins to be distributed among 17 pirates, and we know that if we divide evenly these coins, there are 3 coins remaining.
Then we can write the total number of coins as a multiple of 17 plus 3.
N = 17*k + 3
where k is an integer.
After that, a pirate is killed, so now we have 16 pirates, and now there are 10 coins left, so now we can write N as a multiple of 16 plus 10:
N = 16*j + 10
where j is an integer.
Finally, having 15 pirates, the total number of coins can be divided evenly, then N is a multiple of 15
N = 15*m
where m is an integer.
So we have these 3 equations:
N = 17*k + 3
N = 16*j + 10
N = 15*m
So we can express equations like:
15*m = 16*j + 10
15*m = 17*k + 3
Where we need to find solutions such that both of these variables are integers.
For the first one we can write:
15*m - 16*j = 10
One way to do it, is to write this like a linear equation:
m = (16*j + 10)/15
Graph this, and find the pairs of points in the line that have bot integer values, or we can just find some values of j such that:
16*j + 10 is a multiple of 15.
For example, with j = 5 we have:
m = (16*5 + 10)/15 = 6
so j = 5 and m = 6 is a possible solution.
Now if we use m = 6 in the other equation:
15*m = 17*k + 3
we can see if k is also an integer:
k = (15*m - 3)/17
replacing m by 6:
k = (15*6 - 3)/17 = 5.1
This solution does not work.
Let's find others:
if j = 20 (at this point we already know that the possible values of j "jump" by 15 units, like 5 + 15 = 20) then:
m = (16*20 + 10)/15 = 22
Then:
j = 20 and m = 22 is another solution.
Same as before, let's use m = 22 in the equation for k:
k = (15*22 - 3)/17 = 19.2
Let's find another solution for m.
if j = 35
m = (16*35 + 10)/15 = 38
Using this value of m in the k equation we get:
k = (15*35 - 3)/17 = 33.4
Let's find another solution for m.
if we take j = 50 we get:
m = (15*50 + 10)/15 = 54
Using this in the k equation we get:
k = (15*54 - 3)/17 = 47.5
Eventually, for j = 5 + 15*16 = 245 we get: (arrived by iteration, just try each time using the previous value of j plus 15)
m = (16*245 + 10)/15 = 262
replacing this in the k equation we can find:
k = (15*262 - 3)/17 = 231.
So the first solution is:
j = 245, m = 262, k = 231
Then:
N = 262*15 = 3,930
The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.
If P is inversely proportional to Q and if pad when Q = 4. Find the value
of when Q = 3.
A) 7 B) 6 C) 12
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
If p is inversely proportional to Q and P is 6 when q = 4, then;
p = k/q
6 = k/4
k = 6*4
k = 24
To get P when q = 3
Recall;
p = k/q
p = 24/3
p = 8
Hence the required value of p is 8
Note that the value of initial Q was assumed

If a spinner for a game is spun once, there is a 25% chance it will land on
orange. What is the chance that the spinner will not land on orange on both
the first and second spin in a game? Calculate the probability as a decimal
rounded to the nearest TENTH.
Answer:
[tex]Pr = 0.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let
[tex]O \to Orange[/tex]
So:
[tex]P(O) = 25\%[/tex] --- probability of O
[tex]n=2[/tex] --- Number of spin
Using the complement rule, the probability that a spin will not land on orange is:
[tex]P(O') = 1 - P(O)[/tex]
[tex]P(O') = 1 - 25\%[/tex]
Express as decimal
[tex]P(O') = 1 - 0.25[/tex]
[tex]P(O') = 0.75[/tex]
On two spins, the probability that it will not land on orange is:
[tex]Pr = P(O') * P(O')[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Pr = 0.75* 0.75[/tex]
[tex]Pr = 0.5625[/tex]
[tex]Pr = 0.6[/tex] --- approximated

Leila is buying a dinosaur model. The price of the model is 2 dollars, and she also has to pay a 7% tax
Which of the following expressions could represent how much Leila pays in total for the model?

1
100
B
0.70 + 2
1.07.2
D
7
+ 1
10
1.72
Answer: 107/100x
1.07x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the price of the model is x dollars, and she also has to pay a 7% tax, the amount that Leila will pay in total for the model will be the addition of the price of the model and the tax. This will be:
= x + (7% × x)
= x + (7/100 × x)
= x + (0.07 × x)
= x + 0.07x
= 1.07x
This can also be 107/100x

B
Answer:
33.30 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Central angle = m<BCD = 106°
Radius (r) = 6 units
Area of sector BCD = central angle/360° × πr²
Plug in the values into the formula
Area of sector BCD = 106/360 × π × 6²
Area of sector BCD = 106/360 × π × 36
Area of sector BCD = 33.3008821
Area of sector BCD = 33.30 units² (nearest hundredth)

At an auditorium, 3 1/2 sections are filled with people watching a play. Exactly 3/5 of the people watching the play are parents. What fraction of the sections are filled with parents?
Answer:
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of sections filled = 3¹/₂ = 7 / 2 sections
Number of fraction parents watching play = 3/5
Find:
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents]
Computation:
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = Total number of sections filled x Number of fraction parents watching play
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = [7/2] x [3/5]
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 21 / 10 sections
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section

m 6 = [ ?]
==============================================
The 125 degree angle and angle 6 are supplementary. This is because of the same side interior angles theorem.
Let x be the measure of angle 6. Add this to 125, set the sum equal to 180, and solve for x.
x+125 = 180
x = 180-125
x = 55
------------
Or you could approach it this way:
y = measure of angle 2
y+125 = 180
y = 55
angle 6 = angle 2 (corresponding angles)
angle 6 = 55 degrees
-------------
Yet another way you could solve:
z = measure of angle 3
z+125 = 180
z = 55
angle 6 = angle 3 (alternate interior angles)
angle 6 = 55 degrees
A similar approach using alternate interior angles would involve angle 5 = 125, and then noticing that x+125 = 180 solves to x = 55

The percent probability is = [ ? ]%
Round to the nearest percent.
Most likely, you won't need to type in the percent symbol since that seems to be already done for you.
=========================================================
Explanation:
The outcome "2" shows up 3 times, as shown in the first column. Let A = 3.
Add up all the values in the bottom row: 3+6+8+11+14+16+15+12+9+5+1 = 100. Let B = 100. This is the total number of dice rolls.
Dividing the two values gets us A/B = 3/100 = 0.03 = 3%
The value "2" shows up 3% of the time, which is the experimental probability of getting a "2".
The distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. What is 50% of that distance?
Answer: 128.5km
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the information that the distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. To get 50% of the distance, we simply have to multiply the distance given by 50%. This will be:
= 50% × 257km
= 50/100 × 257km
= 0.5 × 257km
= 128.5km
Therefore, 50% of the distance is 128.5km.
