A newspaper article reports the results of an election between two candidates. The article says that Smith received 60% of the votes and that Murphy received 15 of the votes. A reader writes in to complain that the article cannot be accurate. What reason might the reader have to say this?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, smith receives 60% of the vote this means murphy must receive 40% of the vote. Therefore 15 = 40% of the total vote.

Thus total vote = 37.5, which is kind of absurd. As total vote count must be an integer. Moreover, the report must be consistent with the result, which does not seem in this case.

I'll focus on problem 19 and problem 22

============================================================

Problem 19

Answers:

x = 87x+15 = 102

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

Explanation:

The horizontal lines are parallel. Note the arrow markers along the interior portion of the lines. These similar markers tell us how the lines pair up to be parallel to one another.

Since the horizontal lines are parallel, this means the angles in question are congruent. They are corresponding angles.

x+15 = 102

x = 102-15

x = 87

Which leads to

x+15 = 87+15 = 102

============================================================

Problem 22

Answer: y = 27

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

Explanation:

We have a pair of alternate exterior angles. They are congruent due to the parallel lines.

Let's solve for y.

7y-55 = 3y+53

7y - 3y = 53+55

4y = 108

y = 108/4

y = 27

Find the missing angles

As per Terrell, the correct expression is (2x+2x) + (5x+5x) + (1+1) which is equal to 12x + 2

For you who got incorrect answer, the answer if you simplified it must be 12x + 2. Let's check:

Anya     2x+2x+5x+1+5x+1 =

(b) Write down a possible number of students in the class

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

A: adding together 2 and 3 a bunch of times (2+3+2+3+2+3 etc) does not equal 28.

A possible answer could be 27 students.

The requried,
(a) Ben is wrong because the number of students is incorrect,
(b) The required possible number would be either 25 or 30.

What is the Ratio?

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

here,
As mentioned in the question, the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2:3

Ben says there are 28 students in the class.


So total of the ratio = 2 + 3 = 5
Now calculate number of boys = 2 / 5 [28] = 7.2 [this is not possible]
So the total number of students must be that number which is divisible by 5 and nearby 28, so the number would be 25 or 30.

Thus, the requried,
(a) Ben is wrong because the number of students is incorrect,
(b) The required possible number would be either 25 or 30.

On the morning of the sale, the store donated 50 pairs of shoes to a homeless shelter. Then they sold 64% of their remaining inventory during the sale. If the store had 288 pairs after the donation and the sale, how many pairs of shoes did they have at the start? how many shoes did they have at the start?

Answers

Answer:

850.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number at the start be x shoes. Then:

x - 50 - 0.64(x - 50) = 288

x - 0.64x - 50 + 32 = 288

0.36x = 288 + 50 - 32

0.36x = 306

x = 306/0.36 =  850.

Answer:

850 is the answer to the question

Which of the following equations represent exponential growth functions? Choose all that apply.
a) f (x)=4^x
b) f (x)=(1/4)^-x
c) f (x)=(2/3)^x
d) f (x)= (2.3)^x
e) f (x)=(.8)^x

Answers

Option:-

a) f(x) = 4^x is applicable

b) f(x) ={ (1/4)^-x = 4^x }is applicable

c.) f(x) = (2/3)^x is not applicable

d.) f(x) = (2.3)^x is applicable

e.) f(x) = (.8)^x is not applicable

Options (a), (b) and (d) are exponential growth functions.

What is Exponential function?

An exponential decay is in the form:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier which is less than 1.

By the Exponential decay form,

An exponential decay is in the form: y = abˣ

(a) f (x)=4ˣ is applicable as 4>1

(b) f (x)=(1/4)⁻ˣ is applicable as (1/4)-1=4>1

(c)  f (x)=(2/3)ˣ is not applicable because 2/3<1

d) f (x)= (2.3)ˣ is applicable as 2.3>1

e) f (x)=(.8)ˣ is not applicable, 0.8<1.

So options (a), (b) and (d) are applicable for exponential growth functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The grocery store had 4lb bag of oranges for 4.80$ and a 6lb bag for 6.18$ . What is the difference of the 4lb bag of oranges and the 6lb bag of oranges

The cost difference is calculated as:

Cost of 6lbs of oranges - Cost of 4lbs of oranges

Cost of 6lbs of oranges = $6.18

Cost of 4lbs of oranges = $4.80

Hence,

= $6.18 - $4.80

= $1.38
