Correct question

A chef locates a pre-made tuna salad that is nearly identical to the one she makes from scratch in her sandwich shop. To make it from scratch, an $8.25/hour employee needs 20 minutes to prepare the tuna salad. The ingredients cost $12.18 and yield 10 four-ounce servings. The chef can purchase the pre-made tuna salad at $26.99 for a 5 pound tub. Calculate the cost per portion for the scratch-made and the premade versions. If cost were the only factor, should the chef make or buy this product?

Answer:

If cost were the only factor, the chef should not make version of the tuna salad from scratch because it is expensive that the premade version

Step-by-step explanation:

For tuna: Made from scratch

The ingredients cost $12.18 and yield 10 four-ounce servings.

10 servings = $12.18

1 serving = x

10 × x = 1 × $12.18

x = $12.18/10

x = $1.218

Hence, 1 four ounce serving cost $1.218

The chef can purchase the pre-made tuna salad at $26.99 for a 5# tub.

5 pound tub salad = $26.99

1 pound tub of tuna salad = x

5 × x = 1 × $26.99

x = $26.99/5

x = $5.398 per pound

Converting to ounces

0.0625 pound = 1 ounce

5 pound = x

x = 5/0.0625

x = 80 ounces

80 ounces of tuna salad = $5.398

4 ounces of tuna salad = x

80 × x = 4 × $5.398

x = 4 x 5.398/80

x = $0.2699

Hence, 1 4 ounce pre made tuna salad cost = $0.2699

Hence, the cost per portion for the scratch-made is $1.218 per 4 ounces servings and the premade versions is $0.2698 per 4 ounce servings

If cost were the only factor, the chef should not make version of the tuna salad from scratch because it is expensive that the premade version

You have 37 coins that are nickels, dimes, and pennies. The total value of the coins is $1.55. There are twice as many pennies as dimes. Find the number of each type of coin in the bank.



Answer: Let n be the number of nickel


s, d be the number of dimes, and p be the number of pennies.

Answers

Answer:

n = number of nickels = 7

d = number of dimes = 10

p = number of pennies = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n = number of nickels

d = number of dimes

p = number of pennies.

n + d + p = 37

0.05n + 0.10d + 0.01p = 1.55

p = 2d

Substitute p = 2d into the equation

n + d + 2d = 37

0.05n + 0.10d + 0.01(2d) = 1.55

n + 3d = 37

0.05n + 0.10d + 0.02d = 1.55

n + 3d = 37 (1)

0.05n + 0.12d = 1.55 (2)

Multiply (1) by 0.05

0.05n + 0.15d = 1.85

0.05n + 0.12p = 1.55

Subtract

0.15d - 0.12d = 1.85 - 1.55

0.03d = 0.3

d = 0.3/0.03

= 10

d = 10

p = 2d

= 2(10)

p = 20

n + d + p = 37

n + 10 + 20 = 37

n + 30 = 37

n = 37 - 30

n = 7

n = number of nickels = 7

d = number of dimes = 10

p = number of pennies = 20

A student is learning about positive and negative numbers with manipulatives. Each black cube represents + 1 , and each white cube represents − 1 . If there are currently 15 black cubes on the student's desk, how many white cubes must the student add to the desk for the combined value of the cubes to represent 0 ?

Answers

Answer:

15 white cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]White\ Cubes = -1[/tex]

[tex]Black\ Cubes = +1[/tex]

[tex]Number\ of\ Black\ Cubes = 15[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of white cubes needed to represent 0

To solve this question, we make use of the following equation.

[tex]Black\ Cubes +White\ Cubes = 0[/tex]

If there are 15 black cubes, the the 15 black cubes is worth: +1 * 15

Substitute +1 * 15 for the Black Cubes

[tex]+1 * 15 +White\ Cubes =0[/tex]

[tex]+15 +White\ Cubes =0[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]White\ Cubes = 0 - 15[/tex]

[tex]White\ Cubes = - 15[/tex]

Recall that 1 white cube is worth -1

So, the number of white cubes is:

[tex]Number = \frac{-15}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 15[/tex]

Hence, the student needs 15 white cubes

2r-s=10
rs-s^2=12

Answers

Answer:

s = 6, r = 8 or s = 4, r = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2r - s = 10

2r = 10 + s

r = 5 + s/2 --(1)

rs - s^2 = 12 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

(5 + s/2)s - s^2 = 12

5s + 0.5s^2 - s^2 = 12

-0.5s^2 + 5s - 12 = 0

s^2 - 10s + 24 = 0

(s - 6)(s - 4) = 0

therefore s = 6 or s = 4

when s = 6, r = 8 and when s = 4, r = 7

pls help!! A cylindrical vase has a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 12 inches. If the vase is filled 3/4 full of soil, how many cubic inches of soil are in the vase?

Answers

Answer:

Answer: the vase contains 1017.36 inches³ of soil.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply thee formula for determining the volume of a cylinder which is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Where

h represents the height of the cylinder

r represents the radius of the cylinder.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given

Diameter = 12 inches

Radius = diameter /2 = 12/2

Radius = 6 inches

Height = 12 inches

Therefore,

Volume of the cylindrical vase =

3.14 × 6² × 12 = 1356.48 inches³

If the vase is filled 3/4 full of soil, then the volume of soil in the vase is

3/4 × 1356.48 = 1017.36 inches³

Evaluate 7y - 3y for y=3

Answers

7 . 3 - 3 . 3

= 21 - 9

= 12

Just substitute you y = 3 into the equation

Answer:

The correct answer is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must plug in 3 for each occurrence of y in the expression because we are given that y = 3.  In this case, we will get the following:

7y - 3y

7(3) - 3(3)

To evaluate, we must simplify this expression.  Due to the order of operations, we should compute the multiplication first.  7*3 = 21 and 3*3=9, so we can plug in these values into our expression.

21 - 9

Now, we can perform the subtraction.

21-9=12

Therefore, the correct answer is 12.

Melanie deposits $8200 in a bank account paying 4.4% simple interest. How much money will be in her account after 5 years and 6 months?

Answers

Answer:

8200+1894.40 = $10,094.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:

I = P x r x t

Where:

P is the principal amount, $8200.00.

r is the interest rate, 4.4% per year, or in decimal form, 4.4/100=0.044.

t is the time involved, 5.5....year(s) time periods.

So, t is 5.5....year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 8200 × 0.044 × 5.5 to get that:

The interest is: $1984.40  + add to Investment ($8000) and you'll get the answer.
