Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece

iving money, Mindy would like a $12 pizza, including 5 percent sales tax. Is this a fair trade? Explain how to find the solution.

This trade is indeed fair since 85% of $15 equals $12.75, while the pizza, including tax, costs $12.60.

I hope this helps!:)

To tackle this problem, we first need to ascertain the commission taken by the pizza shop and how much money belongs to Mindy. We know that Mindy sells her artwork for $15, and the pizza shop retains a 15% commission. Therefore, the commission is calculated as (15/100) * 15, which equals 2.25 dollars. This means the pizza shop deducts $2.25 from each art sale made by Mindy. Consequently, the amount Mindy receives is (15 - 2.25), resulting in $12.75. Since Mindy opts not for cash but instead chooses a pizza valued at $12, including a 5% sales tax, it seems she benefits by $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. Therefore, this arrangement appears fair for Mindy. Meanwhile, the pizza shop also makes an additional $2.25 from this transaction, making it equitable for both Mindy and the shop owner.

Answer: 6000 steps Step-by-step explanation: 1/15 +1/10+1/2=2/30+3/30+15/30=20/30=2/3. Therefore, 2/3 equals 12000 steps, meaning 1/3 is 6000 steps. Overall, she should tally 18000 steps, and she has recorded 12000 steps, hence 18000-12000=6000 steps.

A ballroom has a square dance floor. The area of the floor is 400 square feet.
babunello [11817]
From the question, we know that

a ballroom features a square dance floor, which has an area of 400 square feet.

The formula for the area of a square is the side squared. Hence, we can determine the side length. Taking the square root of both sides, upon increasing the side length by one foot, we arrive at a side length of 21 feet, which is not a perfect square. The area of 441 is indeed a perfect square and a rational number. Consequently, the true statements are A and E.

Jenna mixed two shades of purple paint. For Purple People Eater, she used 3 pints of red paint for every 5 pints of blue paint.
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

\frac{12}{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

Details:

→ For Purple People Eater, 3 pints of red paint were used for every 5 pints of blue paint.

Thus, The red to blue paint ratio is 3:5

→ For Purple Majesty, the ratio of blue paint to red paint is 7 to 4.

This means The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 4:7

To determine:

1) Compare the ratios of red to blue paint.

\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}=\frac{12}{35}

2) The fraction form of the Purple People Eater ratio is:

=\frac{3}{5}

3) The fraction form for Purple Majesty is:

=\frac{7}{4}

4) To compare these fractions, create a common denominator.

For a common denominator,

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 in \frac{3}{5}

\Rightarrow\frac{3\times 4}{5\times4}=\frac{12}{20}

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 5 in \frac{7}{4}

\Rightarrow\frac{7\times 5}{5\times4}=\frac{35}{20}

The common denominator is 20.

Use the binomial theorem to find the coefficient of xayb in the expansion of (5x2 + 2y3)6, where a) a = 6, b = 9. b) a = 2, b = 15.
zzz [12365]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

                    1

                1      1

            1      2      1

         1     3      3      1

      1    4     6       4       1

   1   5    10     10       5     1

 1    6   15   20      15    6     1

1    6   15   20      15    6     1

We employ these for the expansion of (5x² + 2y³)⁶

1(5x²)⁶(2y³)⁰ + 6(5x²)⁵(2y³)¹ + 15(5x²)⁴(2y³)² + 20(5x²)³(2y³)³+  15(5x²)²(2y³)⁴+ 6(5x²)¹(2y³)⁵ + 1(5x²)⁰(2y³)⁶

78125ₓ¹²+187500ₓ¹⁰ y³ +37500ₓ⁸y⁶+20000ₓ⁶y⁹+6000x⁴y¹²+960x²y¹⁵+2y¹⁸

a.)a = 6, b = 9. the coefficient of xᵃyᵇ ( 20000ₓ⁶y⁹) = 20000

b) a = 2, b = 15. the coefficient of xᵃyᵇ ( 960x²y¹⁵) = 960

c) a = 3, b = 12. the coefficient of xᵃyᵇ is not present

d) a = 12, b = 0 the coefficient of xᵃyᵇ ( 78125ₓ¹²)  = 78125

e) a = 8, b = 9. the coefficient of xᵃyᵇ is not present
