Twelve people ordered calculators. The least expensive was $5.95 and the most expensive was $12.95. Half ordered a $9.95 calculator. Select the best estimate of the amount spent on calculators.(1 point)

$125

$90

$160

$140

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Round up all costs

Least expensive: $6

Most expensive: $13

Half (half of 12 people is 6) ordered $10 calculators so 6x10=$60

Other half

(6+13)/2= $9.5 round up to $10 so 6x10=$60

$60 + 60=$120 best estimate $125

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The required, best estimate of the amount spent on calculators is $125.  Option A is correct.

What is rounding of values?

The rounding of values is superseding a number with an inexact value that has a more ephemeral, more uncomplicated, or more direct representation.

Since half of the twelve people ordered a calculator costing $9.95, there are 6 such people. Let the remaining 6 people have ordered the cheapest calculator, which costs $5.95. Then the total amount spent on calculators is:

6 x $5.95 + 6 x $9.95 = $35.70 + $59.70 = $95.40

However, we also need to take into account the possibility that some people may have ordered more expensive calculators. We know that the most expensive calculator costs $12.95, so let's assume that all 12 people ordered this calculator. Then the total amount spent on calculators would be:

12 x $12.95 = $155.40

Since the actual amount spent is somewhere between $95.40 and $155.40, the best estimate of the amount spent on calculators is around the midpoint of these values:

($95.40 + $155.40) / 2 = $125.40

Therefore, the best estimate of the amount spent on calculators is $125.

This is a familiar conversion problem:

[tex]3.3 \times {10}^{2} lightyears \times \frac{5.9 \times {10}^{12} miles}{1 \: lightyear} [/tex]

[tex] = 1.95 \times {10}^{15} \: miles[/tex]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

3.3 × 10^2  light years

one light year is 5.9 × 10^12 miles

you need to multiple these two values

3.3 × 10^2  light years  ×  5.9 × 10^12 miles/light year =

=     (3.3 × 5.9) × 10^2 × 10^12

=     19.47 × 10^(2 + 12)

=     1.947 × 10^1 × 10^14

=     1.947 × 10^15 miles

Answers

Given:

The equation is:

[tex]192=6000\left(0.02\left(\dfrac{8}{5}-4y\right)+0.08y\right)[/tex]

To find:

The value of y.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]192=6000\left(0.02\left(\dfrac{8}{5}-4y\right)+0.08y\right)[/tex]

On simplification, we get

[tex]192=6000\left(0.02\times 1.6-0.02\times 4y+0.08y\right)[/tex]

[tex]192=6000\left(0.032-0.08y+0.08y\right)[/tex]

[tex]192=6000\left(0.032\right)[/tex]

[tex]192=192[/tex]

Since LHS=RHS and the equation is free from the variable y, therefore the given equation is true for all real values of y.

Hence, all real values of y are solutions.

Here in triangle EFG ,

To find angle G

a = 12

b=10

c=8

8² = 12² + 10² - 2*12*10 cos[tex]\rm \gamma[/tex]

64 = 144 + 100 -240 cos    [tex]\rm \gamma[/tex]

There were 3 chihuahuas at the dog park last Saturday, along with 9 other dogs. Considering this data, how many of the next 20 dogs to arrive at the park next Saturday should you expect to be chihuahuas?

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 chihuahuas out of 12 dogs IN TOTAL (which includes the 9 other dogs), the ratio is 1:4, or 1/4.

Assuming this ratio is consistent, (1/4)*20 is 5.

In conclusion, you can expect there to be 5 chihuahuas out of the next 20 dogs to arrive at the park.

Solve the system of equations.

Answers

Answer:

X= -12 Y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is, Solve of the system of equations.

9x+11y=2 & 3x+4y=4 is, x = -12 & y =10.

What is equation?

An equation is a  mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.  In its simplest form in algebra, the definition of an equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal. For instance, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an 'equal' sign.

here, we have,

given that, the system of equations.

9x+11y=2 .......(1)

3x+4y=4 ...........(2)

now, for solving, multiply (2) by 3 & subtract from (1),

we get,

9x + 11y =  2

9x + 12y = 12

---------------------

y= 10

from (1), we get, x = -12

Hence, The solution is, Solve of the system of equations.

9x+11y=2 & 3x+4y=4 is, x = -12 & y =10.
