a manager bought some stamps she gave 1/3 of them to the cashier and 1/5 of them to her secretary.if the secretary received 40 fewer stamps than the cashier how many did the cashier receive?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cashier received 100 envelopes

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of stamps bought be x.

Cashier will receive 1/3 *x = x/3

Secretary will receive = 1/5 * x = x/5

Now we are told that the secretary received 40 fewer.

This means that the difference between the amounts they received is 40

Mathematically;

x/3 - x/5 = 40

2x/15 = 40

x = (15 * 40)/2 = 600/2 = 300

The cashier received x/3 = 300/3 = 100

Answer 2

Answer:

Cashier received 100 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 to cashier

1/5 to secretary

Total stamps=x

Cashier=(1/3)x

Secretary=(1/5)x

Secretary received 40 fewer stamps than the cashier

Difference between cashier and secretary share=40

1/3x-1/5x=40

(2/15)x=40

40×15=2x

600=2x

x=300

Cashier=(1/3)x

=(1/3)300

=100

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

The linear equation is given below.

y - 4 = 1/2 (x - 1)

Convert the equation into a slope-intercept form. Then we have

y - 4 = 1/2 (x - 1)

y - 4 = x/2 - 1/2

y = x/2 - 1/2 + 4

y = x/2 + 7/2

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be y = x/2 + 7/2. Then the slope of the equation is 1/2.

Scores of an IQ test have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 20. Use the empirical rule to determine the followinWhat percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 120?

Answers

Answer:

Percentage of people with IQ greater than 120 is 84.134%

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing we do here is to calculate the

z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

here, x = 120, mean = 100 while SD = standard deviation = 20

z-score = (120-100)/20 = 20/20 = 1

The probability we want to calculate is;

P(x > 120) or P(z >1)

we proceed to use the standard score table to get this;

From the standard score table ;

P(z >1) = 0.84134

which is in percentage = 84.134%

Terry bought some gum and some candy. The number of packs of chewing gum was one more than the number of mints. The number of mints was three times the number of chocolate bars. If gum cost 6 cents a pack, mints cost 3 cents each, and chocolate bars cost 10 cents each, how many of each confection did he get for 80 cents?

Answers

Answer:

Hi!!

Step-by-step explanation:

7 = chewing gum

6 = mints

2 = chocolate

Answer:

number of packs of chewing gum is 7

number of mints  is 6

number of chocolate bars is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

number of packs of chewing gum → x,  cost 6¢

number of mints → y = x-1 =3z,  cost  3¢

number of chocolate bars → z = y/3 = (x-1)/3, cost 10¢

put in equation 6x + 3y +10z = 80 plug in term of x

6x +3(x-1) +10((x-1)/3) =80 multiply each side by 3

18x +9(x-1) +10(x-1) =240 distribute

18x+9x-9+10x-10 =240 combine like terms

37x-19 = 240 add 19 in each side

37x =259

x = 7

plug into y = x-1 = 7-1 = 6 so y=6

and  z = y/3 =6/3 =2 so z = 2

Good luck on your website

Answer:

C. 31.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

→The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is:

C = 2πr

→However, it states that we use 3.14 for π:

C = 2(3.14)r

→The "r," is the radius, which is a straight line from the perimeter to the center. In this case, it is already given to us as 5 cm.

C = 2(3.14)(5)

C = 31.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amt of 60% solution = x gallons ; Amt of active ingredient = 0.6x gallons

Amt of 15% solution = 100 gallons ; Amt of active ingredient = 15 gallons

Amt of 50% solution = 100+x gallons ; Amt of active = 50 + 0.5x gallons

Determine and prove which lines are parallel.: Need by Tuesday!! Thanks!

Answers

If the gradients are not the same, then there will be a point, which intersects. That contradicts the statement that theclines have no points in common.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines that have the same gradient.

Because parallel lines have a fixed distance between each other,it means they will never meet, no matter how long they are extended.

Since parallel lines have the same slope by definition, they will never intersect. Parallel lines continue, literally, forever without touching.

Prove:

Suppose that there are two lines, line l and line m, which have no points in common. Both lines are in the same plane.

If the gradients are not exactly the same, then there will be a point, which intersects. That contradicts the first statement (which says l and m have no points in common), therefore the gradients must be the same in order for l and m to have no points in common.

The positive number but a negative result would be :

C. Irene is scuba diving at –30 feet. She swims 10 feet toward the surface to watch a school of fish.

The positive value is she swam 10 feet up to the surface, but she is still below the surface, which would be a negative result.

The situation that would involve a change that is from a positive number but ended in a negative number is option C.

This option tells us that at the negative number she was 30 feet below the surface of the water, while at positive number she was 10 feet up the water surface.

PLEASE HELP ... how many students are in each van? And how many students are in each bus ?

Answers

Answer:

7 students in each van and 52 students in each bus.

Step-by-step explanation:

v = no of students in van, b = no of student in bus

High school A ⇒ 3v + 6b = 333 ---------- Equation (1)

High school B ⇒ 11v + 6b = 389 ------------ Equation (2)

Solve equation (1) & (2) simultaneously :

11v + 6b = 389

3v + 6b = 333

----------------------- MINUS

8v + 0 = 56

v = 56 / 8

v = 7

Put v = 7 into Equation (1) to get b:

3v + 6b = 333

3 (7) + 6b = 333

21 + 6b = 333

6b = 312

b = 312 / 6

b = 52

So there are 7 students in each van and 52 students in each bus.

Alex is drawing rectangles with different areas on a centimetre grid he can draw 3 different rectangles with an area of 12cmsquared a) How many different rectangles could alex draw with an area of 11cmsquared? B)Give a reason for ur anwser

Answers

Answer:

Alex can only draw a rectangle with an area of 11 cm²

The reason for the answer is that 11 is a prime number

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Alex is drawing rectangles with different areas on a centimeter grid, and he can draw 3 different rectangles with an area of 12 cm²

We have the minimum grid length of centimeters = 1 cm, since we assume that only integers can be used.

That is to say:

12 = 1 x 12

12 = 2 x 6

12 = 3 x 4

These are the 3 different rectangles with an area of 12 cm²

Now we have to find how many rectangles Alex could draw with an area of 11 cm²

11 = 1 x 11

Therefore, only one factorization is possible. Which means that you can only draw a rectangle with an area of 11 cm²

The reason for the answer is that 11 is a prime number, which means only the common factor of 1 and the number itself, that is, 11.
