Three friends participated in a "Biggest Loser" weight loss competition. The table below shows their starting weight and the weight after two months:


Starting Weight

Weight After Two Months

Jacob

225 pounds

207 pounds

Timothy

200 pounds

188 pounds

Hamza

280 pounds

259 pounds



Who lost the biggest percentage of his starting weight?



You need to find the percentage of weight loss for each participant.



To find the percentage of weight loss use the formula



Starting weight – Weight after two months x 100

Starting Weight

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jacob lost the biggest percentage of his starting weight.

Jacob: 8%

Timothy: 6.4%

Hamza: 7.5%

Formula: (initial weight - new weight)/initial weight times 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob: 225 pounds - 207 pounds = 12 pounds

x/100 = 12/225

= 1800/225

= 8%

Timothy: 200 pounds - 188 pounds = 12 pounds

x/100 = 12/188

= 1200/188

= 6.4%

Hamza: 280 pounds - 259 pounds = 21 pounds

x/100 = 21/280

= 2100/280

= 7.5%

Answers

Answer:

81.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the median of all the answers.

78.25,  77.75, and 84 = 80 (median)

now that we know 80 is the median, we will add it to our solution.

And still, there is no OTHER TEST in to make this stay 80.

78.25, 77.75, 84, and 80 = 79.125

since this is incorrect, we go higher.

78.25, 77.75, 84 and 81 = 79.625

since this is also incorrect, we go higher.

78.25, 77.75, 84 and 82 = 80.125

since this is higher and incorrect, we will go lower to 81.5.

78.25, 77.75, 84 and 81.5 = 79.875

since this is lower AND 82 is not the correct solution, we will go up by 0.25.

78.25, 77.75, 84 and 81.75 = 80

To check, we will do the problem again.

78.25, 77.75, 84 and 81.75 = 80

So, the solution is 81.75

You and your mom enter a drawing with 3 different prizes. A total of 10
people entered the drawing, and prizes are awarded randomly.
There are 720 ways to award the prizes.
What is the probability that you win
prize?
first prize and your mom wins second

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people who entered the drawing = 10

Number of prizes = 3

Number of ways to award the prize = 720 ways

The total number of ways that 3 prizes can be awarded to the 10 people can be determined as:

10*9*8 = 720

The total number of ways in which I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 1*1*8 = 8

Thus the probability that I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 8/720

When given the building layout of store a 2500ft2, store b 625ft2, store c 625ft2, store d 2500ft2, what portion of the $7500 maintenance fee should be apportioned to store c?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $750

Step-by-step explanation:

The total store area in the building is ...

  2500 +625 +625 +2500 = 6250 . . . . square feet.

Then the fraction that can be allocated to store C is ...

  (625 ft²)/(6250 ft²) = 0.1

The maintenance fee allocated to store C should be ...

  0.1 × $7500 = $750

so (3x³)⁴ can be written as (3x)¹²

Answer:

3x¹²

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the power rule of exponents, to simplify a power of a power, you multiply the exponents and keep the base the same. In this case, 3 and 4 are the exponents. 3 times 4 is 12. So the answer would be 3x to the power of 12.

Answer:

1. False   Same side exterior angles refers to same side transversal An example; opposite ends both same side of transversal. see 2nd attachment.

2. False   interior alternate are both interior alternate on a Z 3 would be alternate with 6 as both are within the z and diagonally opposite at ends of the z shape.

3. True  (yes both same sides of transversal one is left of parallel line the other is left of the next parallel.

4. False ( 12 is only alternate with 1 as alternate is within the z shape as exterior and opposite sides of the transversal)

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate Interior Angles – Alternate interior angles are the pair of angles on the inner side of the two parallel lines but on the opposite side of the transversal. Alternate Exterior Angles – Alternate exterior angles are the pair of angles on the outer side of the two parallel lines but on the opposite side of the transversal

Same side exterior angles - are seen on the blue spots on the 2nd diagram transversal

We set them equal to each other as they’d pay the same amount, and solve for x.

25x = 15x + 40
25x - 15x = 15x - 15x + 40

The bag of dog food would last for 21 days.

The bag contains 42 cups of dog food. If the dog eats [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups everyday, the amount of cup in the bag decreases by [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups everyday. This can be represented with this expression: 42 - [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex]d. Where d represents the number of days.

In order to determine the number of days in which the bag would be emptied, this equation can be used:

Number of days the dog food would last = number of cups in the cup / amount the dog eats each day

42 ÷ [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

42 ÷ [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

42 x [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] = 21 days
