Carson went to pick apples at an orchard.he gave one-third of his apples to his friend Nathan.then he gave one-half of what he had to his friend Nikki.on his way home he dropped one-fourth if what he had left,so that he only had 9 for him and his family.how many apples did Carson pick originally?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Carson had x number of apples to start with.

He gave 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has (2/3)x apples left.

He gave 1/2 of what was left to Nikki. Now Carson has (1/2)(2/3)x = (2/6)x = (1/3)x apples.

On the way home, he dropped 1/4, so he has 3/4 of the last amount he had, and the number is 9.

(3/4) * (1/3)x = 9

3/12 x = 9

1/4 x = 9

x = 36

Answer: He picked 36 apples.

Check:

Start with 36 apples.

Give 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has 24 apples.

Give 1/2 to Nikki. Now Carson has 12 apples.

Drop 1/4. 1/4 of 12 is 3. 12 - 3 = 9.

Hew only had 9 apples left, so 36 is correct.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

36 apples

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1  = he dropped 1/4  and was left with 9  

Finding 1/3 one third of 9 = 3.

Then 9 +3 = 12

Step 2 He parted with 1/2 and was left with 12

12x2=24

Step 3 He parted with 1/3 and was left with 24

= 12+ 12 + 12  = 36    Where 1/3 of 36 = 24

Answer = 36

Ed is a car salesman. he makes 1.5% commission on each car he sells. if he made $397.50 on the last car he sold,find the sales price of the car. ​

Answers

Answer:

$26,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Ed is a car salesman. he makes 1.5% commission on each car he sells.

He made $397.50 on the last car he sold.

We need to find the sales price of the car.

Let x be the selling price of the car.

1.5% of x = $397.50

x* (1.5)/(100)=397.50

0.015x=397.50

Divide both sides by 0.015.

x=(397.50)/(0.015)

x=26,500

Therefore, the sales price of the car is $26,500.

What radius of a circle is required to inscribe a square with an apothem of 3.536 inches?

Answers

Answer:

The radius of the circle required is 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The diagonal of the square is the diameter of the circle

The length side of the square is half the apothem

Let

a ----> the apothem

r ---> the radius of the circle (half the diagonal of the square)

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

r^2=a^2+a^2

we have

a=3.536\ in

substitute

r^2=3.536^2+3.536^2

r^2=25\nr=5\ in

Answer: C) 5 in
