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

An evergreen tree is supported by a wire extending from 1.5 feet below the top of the tree to a stake in the ground. The wire is 24 feet long and forms a 58° angle with the ground. how tall is the tree?​

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]21.9\; \rm ft[/tex] (assumption: this tree is perpendicular to the ground.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached (not drawn to scale.)

Label the following points:

[tex]\rm S[/tex]: stake in the ground.[tex]\rm A[/tex]: top of the tree.[tex]\rm B[/tex]: point where the wire is connected to the tree. [tex]\rm C[/tex]: point where the tree meets the ground.

Segment [tex]\rm SB[/tex] would then denote the wire between the tree and the stake. The question states that the length of this segment would be [tex]24\; \rm ft[/tex]. Segment [tex]\rm AB[/tex] would represent the [tex]1.5\; \rm ft[/tex] between the top of this tree and the point where the wire was connected to the tree.

The question is asking for the height of this tree. That would correspond to the length of segment [tex]\rm AC[/tex].

If this tree is perpendicular to the ground, then [tex]\rm \angle A\hat{C}S =90^\circ[/tex]. Triangle [tex]\rm \triangle BCS[/tex] would be a right triangle with segment [tex]\rm SB[/tex] as the hypotenuse.

The question states that the angle between the wire (segment [tex]\rm SB[/tex]) and the ground (line [tex]\rm SC[/tex]) is [tex]58^\circ[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\rm \angle A\hat{S}C = 58^\circ[/tex].

Notice, that in right triangle [tex]\rm \triangle BCS[/tex], segment [tex]\rm BC[/tex] is the side opposite to the angle [tex]\rm \angle B\hat{S}C = 58^\circ[/tex]. Therefore, the length of segment [tex]\rm BC\![/tex] could be found from the length of the hypotenuse (segment [tex]\rm SB[/tex]) and the cosine of angle [tex]\rm \angle B\hat{S}C = 58^\circ\![/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \cos\left(\rm \angle B\hat{S}C\right) = \frac{\text{length of $\mathrm{BC}$}}{\text{length of $\mathrm{SB}$}} \quad \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow\text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{hypotenuse}}[/tex].

Rearrange to obtain:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{length of $\mathrm{BC}$} \\ &= (\text{length of $\mathrm{SB}$}) \cdot \cos\left(\angle \mathrm{B\hat{S}C}\right)\\ &= \left(24\; \rm ft\right) \cdot \cos\left(58^\circ\right) \approx 20.35\; \rm ft\end{aligned}[/tex].

In other words, the wire is connected to the tree at approximately [tex]20.3\; \rm ft[/tex] above the ground.

Combine that with the length of segment [tex]\rm AB[/tex] to find the height of the entire tree:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\text{height of the tree} \\ &= \text{length of $\mathrm{AC}$} \\ &= \text{length of $\mathrm{AB}$} + \text{length of $\mathrm{BC}$}\\ &\approx 20.35\; \rm ft + 1.5\; \rm ft \\ &\approx 21.9\; \rm ft\end{aligned}[/tex].

dy=5(2d)=10d

2d=5/dy

dy=5×(5/dy)= 25/dy

2d=5/dy

dy^2=25

dy=√25=5

2d=5/dy=5/5=1

If 3 times the difference of x and y is -30, and 2/3 of x plus 1/2 of y is 19, what are x and y

Answers

Answer:

x = 12 and y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3 times the difference of x and y is -30

3(x-y) = -30

3x-3y = -30 ....(1)

2/3 of x plus 1/2 of y is 19.

[tex]\dfrac{2x}{3}+\dfrac{y}{2}=19\\\\\dfrac{4x+3y}{6}=19\\\\4x+3y=114\ ...(2)[/tex]

Add equation (1) and (2).

3x-3y + 4x+3y = -30 +114

7x = 84

x = 12

Put the value of x in equation (1)

3x-3y = -30

3(12)-3y = -30

36+30 = 3y

3y = 66

y = 22

Hence, the value of x and y are 12 and 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

f(x) can be considered as a linear function because of the following conclusions -

1 → For every 1 minute interval, the depth of water in the wading pool increases by the same amount of 11 gallons/minute.

2 → The slope of the function is constant.

What is the general equation of a straight line?

The general equation of a straight line is -

y = mx + c

Where -

[m] is the slope of the line.

[c] is the y - intercept.

Given is the following statement representing a function - f(x), that models the depth of water in a wading pool that is filling at a rate of 11 gallons per minute.

Assume that we represent the depth of the water rate by [y] and the time in minutes by [m]. We can write the function f(x) as -

y = f(x) = 11m

This is a linear relation and its graph will be a straight line passing through origin.

From this equation, we can make the following conclusions -

1 → For every 1 minute interval, the depth of water in the wading pool increases by the same amount of 11 gallons/minute.

2 → The slope of the function is constant.

Therefore, f(x) can be considered as a linear function because of the following conclusions -

1 → For every 1 minute interval, the depth of water in the wading pool increases by the same amount of 11 gallons/minute.

2 → The slope of the function is constant.

h and k are roots

Since the roots of the parabola are given, we can plug in the roots for h and k, and plug in 1 for a and multiply to find the equation.

−7(6+d)=49

(−7)(6)+(−7)(d)=49(Distribute)

−7d−42=49
