The table lists recommended amounts of food to order for 25 party guests. Amanda and Syndey are hosting a graduation party for 40 guests. They know there will also be guests stopping by who may have come from other parties. For ordering purposes, they will count each of these "drop-in" guests as half a guest. How much of each food item should Amanda and Syndey order for a graduation party with 45 drop-in guests?

Answers

Answer 1

Amanda and Sydney are hosting a graduation party for 40 guests.

Also, they have 45 drop-in guests (each of these will count as half a guest).

Then, the total number of guests is:

[tex]40+\frac{45}{2}=\frac{40\times2+1\times45}{1\times2}=\frac{80+45}{2}=\frac{125}{2}[/tex]

The table shows the recommended amounts of food for 25 party guests:

Fried Chicken: 24 pieces

Deli meats: 4 1/3 pounds

Lasagna: 10 3/4 pounds.

Let's find the proportion for 125/2 guests:

a. Fried chicken:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{24\text{ pieces}}{25\text{ guests}}=\frac{x\text{ pieces}}{125/2\text{ guests}} \\ \text{Set the product of the diagonals equal to each other:} \\ 24\times\frac{125}{2}=x\times25 \\ \frac{24\times125}{2}=x\times25 \\ 1500=x\times25 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 25} \\ \frac{1500}{25}=\frac{x\times25}{25} \\ \text{Simplify} \\ 60=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, they'll need to order 60 units of fried chicken for the party.

b. Deli meats:

Start by converting the mixed number 4 1/3 into a fraction:

[tex]4\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4\times3+1}{3}=\frac{12+1}{3}=\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

Now, apply proportions:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{13/3\text{ pounds}}{25\text{ guests}}=\frac{x\text{ pounds}}{125/2\text{ guests}} \\ \text{Set the product of the diagonals equal to each other:} \\ x\times25=\frac{13}{3}\times\frac{125}{2} \\ x\times25=\frac{13\times125}{3\times2} \\ x\times25=\frac{1625}{6} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 25} \\ \frac{x\times25}{25}=\frac{1625}{6\times25}=\frac{1625}{150}=\frac{65}{6} \\ \text{Simplify} \\ x=\frac{65}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

You also can convert this fraction into a mixed number:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{When you divide 65/6 you obtain a quotient of 10 and remainder 5.} \\ \text{Then the whole part is 10 and the fraction is 5/6} \\ \frac{65}{6}=10\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, they'll need to order 10 5/6 pounds of deli meats for the party.

c. Lasagna

Convert the mixed number to fraction:

[tex]10\frac{3}{4}=\frac{10\times4+3}{4}=\frac{40+3}{4}=\frac{43}{4}[/tex]

Apply proportions:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{43/4\text{ pounds}}{25\text{ guests}}=\frac{x\text{ pounds}}{125/2\text{ guests}} \\ \text{Set the product of the diagonals equal to each other:} \\ x\times25=\frac{43}{4}\times\frac{125}{2} \\ x\times25=\frac{43\times125}{4\times2} \\ x\times25=\frac{5375}{8} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 25} \\ \frac{x\times25}{25}=\frac{5375}{8\times25}=\frac{5375}{200}=\frac{215}{8} \\ \text{Simplify} \\ x=\frac{215}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

You also can convert this fraction into a mixed number:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{When you divide 215/8 you obtain a quotient of 26 and remainder 7.} \\ \text{Then the whole part is 26 and the fraction is 7/}8 \\ \frac{215}{8}=26\frac{7}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, they'll need to order 26 7/8 pounds of lasagna for the party.

Find the amount of each payment R for a t= 18 year loan with principal P = $18,000 and interest rate r = 9% compounded monthly. Round your final answer to two decimal places.

Answers

The amount of each payment to 2 decimal places = $90406.80

Explanation:

t = 18 year

Principal = P = $18,000

r = 9% 0.09

Using compound interest formula:

[tex]FV\text{ = P(1 + }\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

n = number of times it was compounded in a year.

since it is monthly, n = 12

[tex]\begin{gathered} FV\text{ =future value} \\ FV\text{ = 18000(1+ }\frac{0.09}{12})^{12\times18} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} FV=18000(1+0.0075)^{216} \\ FV\text{ = }18000(1.0075)^{216} \\ FV\text{ = 18000}\times5.0226 \\ FV\text{ = 90406.8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answers

[tex]0.6107[/tex]

1) The first thing we need to do in this question, is to find the sample space, i.e. the total number of outcomes, in this case, fishes.

[tex]262+382+181+336+190=1351[/tex]

2) Since no one could pick simultaneously two types of fish, then we can tell that these events are mutually exclusive. So, we can write the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(flounder)=\frac{262}{1351} \\ \\ P(black\:drum)=\frac{181}{1351} \\ \\ P(red\:drum)=\frac{382}{1351} \\ \\ P(drum\:or\:flounder)=\frac{262}{1351}+\frac{181}{1351}+\frac{382}{1351}=\frac{825}{1351}\approx0.6107 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The percent markup on the cost price of a dress is the same as the cost price in dollars. If the dress is sold for $24, what was the cost price of the dress ?

Answers

Markup is the difference between a product's selling price and cost as a percentage of the cost.

If we call the cost of the dress as x, the markup is given by the following expression

[tex]markup=\frac{24-x}{x}\times100[/tex]

The percent markup on the cost price of a dress is the same as the cost price in dollars, therefore, we can rewrite the previous expression as:

[tex]x=\frac{(24-x)\cdot100}{x}[/tex]

Solving for x, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{(24-x)\cdot100}{x} \\ x^2=2400-100x \\ x^2+100x-2400=0 \\ \implies x=-120\:or\:x=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since we can't have a negative cost price, the markup is 20% and the cost price of the dress is $20.

Determine if (−2,4) is a solution to the following system of inequalities.-3x > -7y -37x > -5y -4

Answers

Remember that ordered pairs are written in the form (x,y).

Then, to check if (-2,4) is a solution to the system of inequalities, both of the given inequalities should be verified when replacing x=-2 and y=4.

Replace x=-2 and y=4 into the inequalities and check if both of them are satisfied or not.

-3x > -7y - 3

[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow-3(-2)>-7(4)-3 \\ \Rightarrow6>-28-3 \\ \Rightarrow6>-31 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Sice 6 is greater than -31, then this inequality is satisfied by (-2,4).

7x > -5y-4

[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow7(-2)>-5(4)-4 \\ \Rightarrow-14>-20-4 \\ \Rightarrow-14>-24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since -14 is greater than -24, then this inequality is satisfied by (-2,4).

Since both inequalities are satisfied by (-2,4) then (-2,4) is a solution to the given system of inequalities.

The size, x, in an automobile tire can affect its performance. Both over-sized and under-sized tires can lead to poor performance and poor mileage. The tire size that yields the best performance for the car Michael wants is given by 0.2(x - 25.5) + 0.3 = - 0.2(x - 16).Find the tire size that will yield the best performance for Michael’s car.

Answers

The tire size that will yield the best performance for Michael’s car is 20.

The equation given is,

0.2(x - 25.5) + 0.3 = - 0.2(x - 16)

From this, we have to solve for x, which will give the size of the tire.

Simplify the equation as follows to find x,

0.2(x - 25.5) + 0.2(x - 16) = - 0.3

0.2x - (0.2 × 25.5) + 0.2x - (0.2 × 16) = - 0.3

0.2x - 5.1 + 0.2x - 3.2 = - 0.3

0.4x - 8.3 = - 0.3

0.4x = - 0.3 + 8.3

0.4x = 8

x = 8/0.4 = 20.

Increasing the wheel diameter also increases the final deceleration which has two consequences. Acceleration potential is reduced but a higher final speed is achieved. In other words, the bigger the car's tires the slower it accelerates but the higher its top speed.

We recommend choosing smaller wheels for more power and as many times as possible for maximum traction. On average, a 15 x 3.75 or larger front wheel gives the best results. For the rear, a 15 x 10 wheelset is ideal.

Last year, Milan had $10,000 to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid 6% simple interests per year, and he invested the rest in an account that paid 9% simple interest per year. After one year, he received a total of $840 in interest. How much did he invest in each account?

Answers

Let's define the next variables

x: amount of money invested in one account

y: amount of money invested in the other account

Milan had $10,000 to invest, then

x + y = 10000 (eq. 1)

The interest Milan gets after one year are: 0.06x and 0.09y. He received a total of $840 in interest, then

0.06x + 0.09y = 840 (eq. 2)

Isolating x from equation 1:

x = 10000 - y

Replacing this result into equation 2,

0.06(10000 - y) + 0.09y = 840

0.06(10000) - 0.06(y) + 0.09y = 840

600 + 0.03y = 840

0.03y = 840 -600

0.03y = 240

y = 240/0.03

y = 8000

Then,

x = 10000 - y

x = 10000 - 8000

x = 2000

He invested $2000 in the account that paid 6% simple interests per year and $8000 in the account that paid 9% simple interests per year

In linear equation, Equation for line F is y = 1.75x + 3.5 and equation for line G is y = -4x-8.

What is a linear equation example?

Ax+By=C is the typical form for linear equations involving two variables. A linear equation in standard form is, for instance, 2x+3y=5.Finding both intercepts of an equation in this format is rather simple (x and y).

y = 1.75x + 3.5   (For line F)

let's take the point (2,7) and put in the equation,

y = 1.75*2 + 3.5

 = 3.5 +0.35

 = 7

which is true.

Hence, (2,7) satisfies the equation.

y = -4x-8   (For line G)

lets take the point (-3,4) and put in the equation,

y = (-4)*(3) - 8

 = 12 - 8

 = 4

which is true.

Hence, (-3,4) satisfies the equation.
