$25, and he wants the extra amount deposited to be the same each week. which inequality and solution show how much more he can deposit each week and keep the total of his deposit above 500 for those 8 weeks? 8(25+x)>500;x>$300
25+8x>500;x>$59.37

Answer:

$8(25+x)>500;x>37.5$

Detailed Solution:

Given: He plans to deposit more than his regular $25 weekly amount over 8 weeks.

Find: The inequality and solution representing the consistent extra amount he can add weekly so that his total savings after 8 weeks exceed $500.

Approach:

His regular weekly deposit is $25.

Define x as the constant additional amount deposited each week.

Therefore, weekly deposit equals 25 plus x.

Over 8 weeks, total deposits amount to 8 times (25 plus x).

The total must be greater than 500.

Thus, $8(25+x)>500$

$200+8x>500$

$8x>300$

$x>\frac{300}{8}$

$x>37.5$

Inequality is: $8(25+x)>500$

Solution is: $x>37.5$

Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.

Hence, the inequality and solution expressing the additional weekly deposit to keep the total over 500 in 8 weeks is $8(25+x)>500;x>37.5$

P(volleyball and baseball) = 4/200 x 100 = 2%
P(volleyball or baseball) = P(volleyball ∪ baseball) = P(volleyball) + P(baseball) - P(volleyball and baseball) = 12% + 15% - 2% = 25%.

Thus, 25% of students participate in either volleyball or baseball.

The manufacturer of a laser printer reports the mean number of pages a cartridge will print before it needs replacing is 12,200.

Leona [12618]

Answer:

14110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pages;

μ = 12200; σ = 820

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

Zscore = (x - 12200) / 820

Zcritical for 99% confidence, with a one-tailed test equals 2.33

Hence, Z at 99% = 2.33

Substituting in for Zscore = 2.33

Zscore = (x - 12200) / 820

2.33 = (x - 12200) / 820

2.33 * 820 = x - 12200

1910.6 = x - 12200

1910.6 + 12200 = x

x = 14110.6

x = 14111

The number of pages to advertise for the cartridge is 14,110

A quarter is approximately 0.07 inches thick. A dollar bill is approximately 4.3 × 10-3 inches thick.

lawyer [12517]

m = 6.57 and n = -2

Detailed explanation:

To solve this question, convert the thickness of a dollar bill into standard notation and compare the two thicknesses.

0.07 compared to 0.0043 results in 0.0657

0.0657 = 6.57 x 10^-2

Thus, a quarter is thicker than a dollar by 6.57 x 10^-2.

m = 6.57 and n = -2

If there are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram how many pounds are there in x kilograms?

tester [12383]

Answer:

P=x/2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to solve this.

Let P represent the number of pounds

Let X represent the number of kilograms

Knowing that 1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds.

So, if there is 1 kilogram (X) it translates to 2.2 pounds (P).

X=2.2P

Simply rearrange the equation to determine the pounds in x kilograms. Thus, divide both sides by 2.2.

Therefore, we derive P=x/2.2
