Eugene sold half of his comic books and then bought eight more. He now has 32. With how many did he begin?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

48 books

Step-by-step explanation:

32-8 = 24

24= 1/2 of total

24x2=48

Answer=48 books

Check:

48/2=24

24+8=32

YAY!!

Answer 2

Answer:

48 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x as the amount that he originally had.

If he sold half of them, that would be:

(1/2)x

Then he bought 8 more, so you would add 8 to that total.

(1/2)x + 8

If he now has 32 then we need to set that equation to equal 32.

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from each side.

(1/2)x = 24

Then you will divide 24 by 1/2. That is the same thing as multiplying by 2.

So,

x = 48

Check work

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

(1/2)(48) + 8 = 32

Half of 48 is 24.

24 + 8 = 32.

32 = 32.

the food pantry distribution 10 oz bags of rice if 3 5 lb bags are donated to the pantry how many 10 ounce bags can be made ​

Answers

Answer:

24 bags can be made from three 5 pounds bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Three 5 pound bags are donated.

Total weight of bags = 3*5 = 15 pounds

We know that:

1 pound = 16 ounces

15 pounds = 16*15 = 240 ounces

A bag weighs 10 ounces.

Number of bags = [tex]\frac{240}{10}[/tex]

Number of bags = 24 bags

Hence,

24 bags can be made from three 5 pounds bags.

Sand for use on icy roads is stored in a conical pile 14.2 m high and with a base diameter of 34.4 m calculate the volume of the pile if one sander can take 6.9 m of sand, how many sanders can be filled from the pile

Answers

Answer:

1. The volume of the pile is 4,399.7719 m^3

2. The number of sanders to be filled from a pile is 638

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we firstly would calculate the volume of the pile

Mathematically, that will be;

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

from the question, h = 14.2

Mathematically, r = d/2

r = 34.4/2 = 17.2 m

So the volume will be:

V = 1/3 * 3.142 * 17.2^2 * 14.2

V = 4,399.7719 m^3

To find the number of sanders to be filled,

we simply divide the volume obtained by the volume a sander can take

That will be;

4,399.7719/6.9

= 637.6 which is 638

Consider a set of data in which the sample mean is 73.4 and the sample standard deviation is 4.9. Calculate the z-score given that x

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Consider a set of data in which the sample mean is 73.4 and the sample standard deviation is 4.9. Calculate the z-score given that x  = 69.5.

Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer: the z-score is -0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ = 73.4

standard deviation σ = 4.9

x = 69.5

z-score = ?

z = (x - μ) / σ

we substitute

z =  (69.5 - 73.4) / 4.9

z = -3.9 / 4.9

z = - 0.7959 ≈ -0.80    { 2 decimal places }

Therefore, the z-score is -0.80

Greatest common factor (GCF)?

The greatest common factor (GCF) of two number is the largest number which can divide both the numbers completely.

Given,

The expression is 32 + 24 .

The greatest common factor of 24 and 32 can be found using the following method.

Common factors of 24 and 32 are:

2, 4, and 8

Out of all the common factors 8 is the largest number.

Therefore  greatest common factor of 24 and 32 is equal to 8.

Taking the GCF out we get:

                                       8(3 + 4)

Hence, 32 + 24 as a product of two factors using the GCF is 8(4 + 3).

tan²Ф+sec²Ф=3


can someone solve this by finding all answers as the nearest whole degree

Answers

Recall that

tan²(x) + 1 = sec²(x)

for all x ≠ (2n + 1) 90°, where n is any integer. (That is, whenever x isn't an angle that is an odd multiple of 90°.)

Then

tan²(Φ) + sec²(Φ) = 3

tan²(Φ) + (tan²(Φ) + 1) = 3

2 tan²(Φ) + 1 = 3

2 tan²(Φ) = 2

tan²(Φ) = 1

tan(Φ) = ±√1

tan(Φ) = 1   or   tan(Φ) = -1

Φ = tan⁻¹(1) + n 180°   or   Φ = tan⁻¹(-1) + n 180°

Φ = 45° + n 180°   or   Φ = -45° + n 180°

The first family of solution is the set of angles

{…, -315°, -135°, 45°, 225°, 405°, …}

and the second family is the set

{…, -405°, -225°, -45°, 135°, 315°, …}

(showing the solutions for n = -2 to n = 2)

You can condense the solution set into one family by noticing each angle is 45° plus some multiple of 90°, so that

Φ = 45° + n 90°

If you're looking for solutions in a given range, such as 0 ≤ Φ < 360°, then

Φ = 45°, 135°, 225° or 315°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

“Solve 2x – 5 = 7”

FIRST: ADD both SIDES by 5

2x – 5 + 5 = 7 + 5

CANCEL out: –5 + 5 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 7 + 5 because it helps us solve for x

7 + 5 = 12

NEW EQUATION: 2x = 12

SECOND: DIVIDE both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 12 / 2

CANCEL out 2 / 2 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 12 / 2 because it gives you the value of x

NEW EQUATION; x = 12 / 2

SOLVE ABOVE and you have your answer

12 / 2 = 6

Therefore, x = 6 ☑️

The percentage profit earned by selling a watch for Nu 1920 is equal to the percent loss incurred by selling the same watch for Nu 1280. At what price should the watch be sold to make 25% profit​

Answers

Answer:

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the price that should be sold for making 25% profit is shown below:

Let cost price be x

Now the equation would be

(1,920 - x) ÷ x × 100 = (x - 1,280) ÷ x × 100

1,920 - x = x - 1,280

2x = 3,200

x = 1,600

Now the sale price would be

= 1,600 × 1.25

= 2,000
