Apples lose 75% of their weight during drying. How many pounds of fresh apples do you need to pick in order to get 150 lb of dried apples?

Answers

The amount of pounds of fresh apples  you need to pick in order to get 150 lb of dried apples is 200lb

  • Let the number of pounds of apples they need to pick be x

If apples lose 75% of their weight during drying with a total  of 150 lb of dried apples, then;

75% of x = 150

0.75x = 150

x = 150/0.75

x = 200lb

Hence the amount of pounds of fresh apples  you need to pick in order to get 150 lb of dried apples is 200lb

Since apples lose 75% of their weight, that means 150 lbs = 25% of fresh apples. 25% = 1/4, so the equation is 150/(1/4) = 150*4 = 600 lbs

PLZ HELP, ASAP! A hotel offers two activity pages. One costs $192 and includes 3 hours of horseback riding and 2 hours of paasailing. The second costs $213 and includes 2 hours of horsebac riding and 3 hours of parasailing. What is the cost for 1 hour of each activity?
A. Parasailing: $39; Horseback Riding: $48
B. Parasailing: $51; Horseback Riding: $30
C. Parasailing: $27; Horseback Riding: $46
D. Parasailing: $63; Horseback Riding: $24

Answers

Greetings!

Answer:

Horseback riding costs $30 and parasailing costs $51, so B.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is answered by using simultaneous equations, let x be parasailing and y be horseback riding.

3y + 2x = 192

2y + 3x = 213

Multiply each equation by the number in front of the y of the other equation:

2 x (3y + 2x = 192)

3 x (2y + 3x = 213)

Which results in:

6y + 4x = 384

6y + 9x = 639

Simply minus the two equations to get rid of the y:

6y - 6y = 0

4x - 9x = -5x

384 - 639 = -255

The negatives cancel out which give a result:

5x = 255

x = (255)/(5)

x = 51

So parasailing costs $51

Now you can simply plug this value into one of the equations:

3y + (2 x 51) = 192

192 - 102 = 3y

90 = 3y

y = (90)/(3)

y = 30

So horseback riding costs $30!


Hope this helps.

To increase an amount by 22%, multiply by?

Answers

Multiply by .22 then add that answer to what you multiplied. For example, you need to increase 100 by 22%. 100 × .22 = 22. 100 + 22 = 122

Final answer:

To increase a given amount by 22%, you should multiply the original amount by 1.22. This conversion results from adding the 22% increase to the 100% of the original amount, thus totaling 122%, or 1.22 when expressed in decimal form.

Explanation:

To increase an amount by 22%, you should multiply the original amount by 1.22. This is because the original amount is considered 100%, or 1 when we talk in decimal terms. To find a 22% increase, you add this percentage to the 100% of the original, making a total of 122%, which translates to multiplying by 1.22 in decimal.

For instance, if you have a value of 50 and you want to increase it by 22%, you multiply 50 by 1.22 (50*1.22 = 61). Therefore, a 22% increase of 50 is 61.
