There are d black and brown horses in a field. There are 16 more black horses than brown horses. Of the horses in the field, only 25% of them are brown. How many are black?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 24 black horses

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of black horses = bl and

The number of Brown horses = br

Total number of horses = d

Of the horses in the field, only 25% of them are brown. That is,

25% of d = br

0.25d = br ........ (1)

The remaining horses are black. Which will be 100% - 25% = 75%. That is,

75% of d = bl

0.75d = bl ........(2)

But according to the question, there are 16 more black horses than brown horses. That is,

bl = br + 16 ..... (3)

The total number of horses d will be

d = br + bl ...... (4)

Substitute bl in equation 3 into equation 4

d = br + br + 16

d = 2br + 16 ..... (5)

Substitutes equation (1) into the equation (5)

d = 2( 0.25d ) + 16

d = 0.5d + 16

Collect the like terms

d - 0.5d = 16

0.5d = 16

d = 16/0.5

d = 32

Substitute 32 for d in equation (2).

bl = 0.75 × 32

bl = 24 horses.

Therefore, 24 horses are black.

The length of a rectangle is 5 feet less than 3 times its width. A. Write a rule for the area A as a function of the width w. B. What is the area of the rectangle when its width is 2 feet?

Answers

Answer:

A. A = (3w - 5) * w

B. 2 feet squared

Explanation:

A. The length is 5 less than 3 times the width. To write the rule for this, you’d subtract 5 from 3 times the width (3w - 5). The area is the length times the width so the rule would be:

A = (3w - 5) * w

——————————

B. Plug in 2 for w using the given rule.

A = (3[2] - 5) * (2)

Distribute

(6 - 5) * 2

Subtract 5 from 6

1 * 2 = 2

The answer is 2 feet squared since this is area.

Answer:

290 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the composite figure can be calculated by using the formula for volume of a rectangular prism to calculate, separately, the volume of the top prism, then volume of the prism beneath, before summing both volumes together.

Volume of rectangular prism = width (w) × height (h) × length (l)

==>The prism on top has:

l = 3m

w = 8-3 = 5m

h = 6m

Volume (V1) = 3*5*6 = 90m³

==>The prism beneath has:

l = 8m

w = 5m

h = 5m

Volume (V2) = 8*5*5 = 200m³

Volume of the composite figure = V1 + V2 = 90+200 = 290 m³

Answer:

a) 32 sticks.

b) 5n + 2 sticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this by finding the pattern.

Pattern # 1 = 7 sticks.

Pattern #2 = 12 sticks

Pattern #3 = 17 sticks.

We can see an increase of 5 sticks within each. We can use this to write an equation:

f(n) = 7 + 5(n-1)

***Where n is the term number

You can simplify the equation to become:

f(n) = 7 + 5n - 5

f(n) = 5n + 2.

Use this equation to solve for pattern # 6:

f(6) = 7 + 5(n-1)

f(6) = 7 + 5(5)

f(6) = 7 + 25

f(6) = 32.

What is inscribed angle?

An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex lies on the circumference of a circle while its two sides are chords of the same circle. The arc formed by the inscribed angle is called the intercepted arc.

Given is a circle C, with an arc ED measuring 95°, we need to find the measure of the inscribed angle ∠EFD,

So,

we know that the arc formed by the central angle is equal to is measure.

∴ arc ED = ECD

ECD = 95°

Now,

According to the central angle theorem the angle subtended by an arc length at the center of the circle is double the angle subtended at any point on the circumference of the circle.

therefore,

ECD/2 = EFD

EFD = 95/2

EFD = 47.5°

Hence the measure of angle EFD is 47.5°

Henry earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of March he was paid \$2,427 based on his monthly sales of \$15,800. At the end of April he earned \$2,771.50 based on \$21,100 in sales. What was his base salary?
You don't have to show your work

Answers

Answer:

The base salary is $1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the base salary.

Now let’s picture his earnings as this, a base salary of let’s say $x and a percentage of y% of total sales as commission.

So let’s move!

For the month of march, his earnings is calculated as follows;

x + (y/100 * 15,800) = 2427

so we have;

x + 158y = 2427 •••••••(i)

For the month of April, we have

x + (y/100 * 21,100) = 2771.5

x + 211y = 2771.5 ••••••(ii)

So we have two equations to solve simultaneously.

We can easily get y by subtracting equation i from ii

That would be ;

(211y-158y) = 2771.5-2427

53y = 344.5

y = 344.5/53

y = 6.5%

So we can now get the base salary by substituting the value of y in any of the equations. Let’s use the first

x + 158(6.5) = 2427

x + 1027 = 2427

x = 2427-1027

x = $1,400

Find the cost per ounce of a gold alloy made from 10 oz of pure gold that costs $1288 per ounce and 55 oz of an alloy that costs $900 per ounce. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

$959.69 per oz

Step-by-step explanation:

A gold alloy is produced from pure gold and alloy.

10 oz of pure gold costs $1,288 per ounce

55 oz of alloy costs $900 per ounce

The first step is to add the cost of both the pure gold and alloy together

= (10 oz × $1288)+(55 oz × $900)

= $12,880+$49,500

= $62,380

Therefore the cost per ounce can be calculated as follows

= $62,380/10 oz + 55 oz

= $62,380/65 oz

= $959.69 per oz.

Hence the cost per ounce of the gold alloy is $959.69 per ounce

Answers

Answer:

y = 7/2 x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept.

m = Δy/Δx = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

Given two points (-1, -4) and (1, 6) with x₁= -1, x₂ = 1, y₁  = -4 and y₂ = 6

m = 6-(-1)/1-(-1)

m = 7/2

To get  c, we will substoute the slope and any of the point given into the equation of a line as shown;

Using tyhe point (1, 6) and m = 7/2

6 = 7/2(1)+c

6 = 7/2 + c

c = 6-7/2

c = 5/2

The equation of the line will be y = 7/2 x + 5/2
