a) The percentage of respondents advocating for neither Obama nor Romney in terms of likability is 7%. b) In a survey comprising 500 participants, it was found that 145 more respondents supported Obama over Romney. To find the percentage of those who did not favor either candidate, use the universal set concept where 100% represents all, leading to a calculation that shows 7% favored neither. For part b, support levels translate to 305 favoring Obama and 160 favoring Romney, resulting in a gap of 145.
Jessica is selecting multiple bunches of bananas
We need to identify which banana offer provides the best deal
=> 10 pounds of bananas priced at $14.90
To determine the unit price, divide 14.90 by 10
=> 14.90 / 10
=> 1.49, hence, each pound of bananas costs $1.49
For the second offer
=> 8 pounds of bananas for $12.08
=> 12.08 / 8
=> 1.51 dollars is the cost per pound of bananas.
Consequently, the most advantageous banana deal is the 10 pounds for $14.90.
Answer:
The proper values for a, b, and c to accurately complete the division are: a = 4, b = 6, and c = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve any fraction division, we should follow these three steps:
1. Invert the divisor into its reciprocal.
2. Alter the division sign to a multiplication sign and perform the multiplication.
3. Simplify the result if it can be
Thus, we obtain:
1/4 ÷ 5/6 = 1/4 * 6/5
The valid values for a, b, and c to correctly finalize the division are: a = 4, b = 6, and c = 5.
Answer:
The cost difference per mile between the two companies is $0.12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gabi formulates the equation
to determine after how many miles, denoted as m, the charges of both companies will be equal.
The first company levies
for m miles traveled.
The second company's charge for the same m miles is
.
In these equations, the figures 7.20 and 8.40 signify the initial fees the companies impose.
The values 0.22 and 0.1 represent the respective costs per mile.
As such, the disparity in per-mile charges amounts to
.
An alternative method to tackle this problem is by calculating the per-mile rate for each company:
1. Cost per mile for the first company

2. Cost per mile for the second company

3. The difference:
