Answer:

336

Step-by-step explanation:

If 42% said they shopped online last week, that means the number of people who said they shopped online last week is 42% of 800. "Of" just means we should multiply, and since 42% = 42/100 (since % is just /100), we can use the following to find the answer (I used cross multiplication to simplify):

42 800 42 8

--- * = ---- * = 336

100 1

A solid oblique pyramid has a square base with edges measuring x cm. The height of the pyramid is (x + 2) cm. Which expression r

zavuch27 [327]

we know that

the volume of a solid oblique pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}*B*h$

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

in this problem we have that

B is a square

$B=b^{2}$

where

$b=x\ cm$

$B=x^{2}\ cm^{2}$

$h=(x+2)\ cm$

substitute in the formula of volume

$V=\frac{1}{3}*x^{2}*(x+2)\\ \\V=\frac{1}{3}*[x^{3} +2x^{2}]\ cm^{3}$

therefore

the answer is

$V=\frac{1}{3}*[x^{3} +2x^{2}]\ cm^{3}$

3x+2y=23 1/2x-4=y What should I do for this one...? I dont really understand

Hitman42 [59]

Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......

Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.

$3x+2(1/2x-4)=23\\$

Distribute

$3x+x-8=23$

Combine like terms

$4x-8=23$

Add 8 to both sides

$4x=31$

Divide by 4

and $x=31/4$

Plug this value in for x

$31/4*1/2-4=y$

Simplify

$31/8-4=y$

Multiply everything by 8 and simplify

$31-32=8y\\-1=8y$

Divide.....

$y=-1/8$

Your answers are:

$y=-1/8\\x=31/4$

The charge is $12 plus $0.15 per tree. What is the greatest number of trees that can be planted if you spend no more than $70

notsponge [240]

Answer:

386

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract the initial fee of 12 from 70 you get 68 you just divide that by .15 meaning you can plant no more that 386 trees.
