a : b : c = 12 : 10 : 15. To explain, if b is defined as two-fifths of c, denoting this relationship as b = \frac{2}{5}, it follows that 2c = 5b. Substituting yields c = \frac{5b}{2}. Similarly, with 4a = 3c, we can express a as \frac{3c}{4}. By manipulating these fractions, we find a : c = \frac{15b}{8} : \frac{5b}{2}, simplifying to 4:5. For b and c, from prior relationships, b:c = \frac{2c}{5} : \frac{5b}{2} simplifies to 2:3. Noticing that if b equals 15, we derive a : c = 12 : 15 and b : c = 10 : 15, which leads us to the simplified ratio of a : b : c = 12 : 10 : 15.

Seventy-five cars sit on a parking lot. Thirty have stereo systems, 30 have air conditioners and 40 have sun roofs. Thirty of th
Inessa [12570]

Response:

a. 55 cars

b. 25 cars

Detailed explanation:

Let’s denote the quantity of cars with stereo systems as N(ss), those with air conditioning as N(ac), and those with sunroofs as N(sr).

We find that:

N(ss) = 30

N(ac) = 30

N(sr) = 40

N(ss and ac and sr) = 15

N(at least two) = 30

a.

To calculate how many cars possess at least one feature (N(at least one) or N(ss or ac or sr)), we apply:

N(ss or ac or sr) = N(ss) + N(ac) + N(sr) - N(ss and ac) - N(ss and sr) - N(ac and sr) + N(ss and ac and sr)

N(ss or ac or sr) = 30 + 30 + 40 - (N(at least two) + 2*N(ss and ac and sr)) + 15

Substituting, we find N(ss or ac or sr) = 30 + 30 + 40 - (30 + 2*15) + 15 = 55

b.

For those cars that have exactly one feature, we have:

N(only one) = N(at least one) - N(at least two)

N(only one) = 55 - 30 = 25

What is the value of x in the equation 4 x plus 8 y equals 40, when y equals 0.8? 4.6 8.4 10 12What is the value of a in the equ
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

1. 8.4 2. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4x + 8y = 40

when y = 0.8

4x + 8 × 0.8 = 40

4x = 40 - 8 × 0.8

4x = 40 - 6.4 = 33.6

....x = 33.6 / 4 = 8.4

2. 3a + b = 54

when b = 9

3a + 9 = 54

3a = 54 - 9

3a = 45

.....a = 45 / 3 = 15

A silent auction was held for a quilt donated for charity. Fifteen bids that were drawn randomly are listed here. What percentil
Leona [12618]

The provided values are

$85 $240 $120 $60 $315 $190 $145 $105 $285 $260 $95 $215 $235 $175 $155

To start, we will arrange these in ascending order

resulting in

$60 $85 $95  $105  $120  $145 $155 $175 $190 $215 $235 $240 $260 $285 $315

The total count is 15

the position of 105 is 4

Now, we can calculate the percentile

=\frac{4}{15} *100

Thus, the percentile for the bid of $105 is 26.667%...........Response

A job calls for installing 270 lighting fixtures. If 81 fixtures have been installed so far, what
tester [12383]
70%Step-by-step explanation:First, determine how many fixtures are left to install.270-81=189. The fraction representing the work still to be done is the count of fixtures to install divided by the total amount. So, % of work remaining equals 189 divided by 270, which equals 0.7. Converting this to percentage form gives us 0.7 * 100% = 70%.

A discount of 16% saved Jackie $38 on office supplies. What was the price of the supplies before the discount?
PIT_PIT [12445]
You have two kinds of data $ and %!
Align them properly and perform cross multiplication.

16% corresponds to $38 as
100% corresponds to $x

Following this, x = (38*100)/16 = $237.5, which is the original price before the discount.
