The total number, n, of employees at a company depends on the company's yearly gross profits according to the equation n=10p+20, where p is the yearly gross profit in millions of dollars. If the yearly gross profit declined from 20 million dollars to 15 million dollars, what was the decrease in the number of employees?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression [tex]n=10p+20,[/tex] p represents the yearly gross profit in millions of dollars and n represents the total number of employees.

When the yearly gross profit was 20 million dollars, then the number of employees was

[tex]n=10\cdot 20+20=200+20=220.[/tex]

When the yearly gross profit was 15 million dollars, then the number of employees was

[tex]n=10\cdot 15+20=150+20=170.[/tex]

Hence, the decrease in the number of employees is

[tex]220-170=50.[/tex]

Answer:

Dependent Pair of Events: A

Independent pairs of events: B,C,D,E

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at each pair one by one..

A. the selling price of a product and its manufacturing cost

We can clearly see that the selling price of a product is always determined on the basis of it's manufacturing cost.

So A is a pair of dependent events.

B. your pulse rate and your friend’s pulse rate

The pulse of rate of one person has nothing to do with the pulse rate of another person.

So B is a pair of independent events.

C. the price of a cell phone and the price of a TV

The price of cell phone and Tv are not related to each other at any level..

So C is a pair of independent events.

D. your calorie intake and your friend’s calorie intake

One person's calorie intake is not related or dependent on any other person's calorie intake.

So D is a pair of independent events.

E. the distance of your home from school and your friend’s home from school

The distances of one person's home from school doesn't affect the distance of another person's home from school.

So E is a pair of independent events..

BRAINLIEST TO FIRST CORRECT ANSWER ASAP.

Submarines control how much they float or sink in the ocean by changing the volume of air and water contained in large ballast tanks. When the tanks are completely full of water, the submarine increases its overall mass and sinks down to the bottom. When the tanks are completely fill of air, the submarine reduces its overall mass and floats to the surface. Depending on the density if the seawater surrounding the submarine, it will pump seawater in or out of the tanks in order to achieve the same overall density as the sea water and float neutrally in the water. The volume of the submarine never changes. When the tanks are completely full of water, a submarine with a volume of 7.8 x 10^3 m^3 has a total mass of 8 x 10^6 kg. The density of the seawater is 10^3 kg/m^3. To make that submarine float neutrally, and neither float nor sink in the ocean, what volume of water does that submarine need to subtract from its tanks?

A. 8 x 10^6 m^3
B. 2 x 10^2 m^3
C. 8 x 10^3 m^3
D. 2 x 10^5 m^3

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the water subtracted from the tanks is 2 × 10² m³ to

make the submarine float nor sink in the ocean ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the relation between the mass , the volume

 and the density

- Mass = Volume × Density

- The unit of the mass is kilogram

- The unit of the volume is cubic meter

- The unit of the density is Kilogram per cubic meter

* Lets find the volume to make the submarine float neutrally

∵ Mass = volume × density

∴ Volume = Mass ÷ density

∵ The mass = 8 × 10^6 kg

∵ The density of the seawater = 10³ kg/m³

∴ The volume = 8 × 10^6 ÷ 10³ = 8 × 10^(6 - 3) ⇒ (to divide numbers

   with exponents and have same base, subtract the powers)

∴ The volume = 8 × 10³ m³

- The volume of the submarine never changes

∴ The submarine need to subtract:

  8 × 10³ - 7.8 × 10³ = 10³ (8 - 7.8) = 0.2 × 10³ = 2 × 10² m³ from its tanks

* The volume of the water subtracted from the tanks is 2 × 10² m³ to

   make the submarine float nor sink in the ocean

Final answer:

To achieve neutral buoyancy, a submarine with a volume of 7.8 x 10³ m³ must expel a volume of water that reduces its mass to that of the water displaced. This amounts to expelling 2 x 10² m³ of water from its ballast tanks.

Explanation:

To make the submarine float neutrally in the seawater, we need to find out how much water the submarine must expel so that its mass equals the mass of the water it displaces. Using Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object. This is dependent on the volume and density of the fluid.

Since the volume of the submarine is given as 7.8 x 10³ m³ and doesn't change, and the density of the seawater is 10³kg/m³, the mass of the water displaced by the submarine when it is neutrally buoyant must equal the mass of the submarine.

The mass of the water displaced would then be 7.8 x 10³ m³ × 10³ kg/m³ = 7.8 x 10⁶ kg. To achieve neutral buoyancy, the submarine must expel enough water to match this mass. Since we know the total mass of the submarine when fully loaded with water is 8 x 10⁶kg, the volume of water that must be expelled is the difference between the two masses divided by the density of the seawater:

   (8 x 10⁶ kg - 7.8 x 10⁶ kg) / (10³ kg/m³) = 0.2 x 10³ m³ or 2 x 10² m³.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 2 x 10² m³.

Your parents ask you to choose between two offers for an allowance.

The first offer is to receive one penny on the first day, 2 penny’s on the second day, 4 pennies on the third day, 8 pennies on the fourth day and so on. (365 days).

Second offer is to receive 10 dollars the first week, 20 dollars the second week, 30 dollars the third week, and so on, for the entire year (52 weeks).

Which offer should you choose to make more money?

Answers

Answer:

The pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a geometric equation for the pennies and an arithmetic equation for the dollars.

The format for a geometric equation is

[tex]y=a_1(\frac{1-r^n}{1-r} )[/tex]

If we plug in the values we already know we should get the equation.

[tex]y=2^x-1[/tex]

Now we can plug in the number of days in a year for [tex]x[/tex] to find how much money we get.

[tex]2^{365}=7.52*10^{109}[/tex]

Which is basically 752 with 107 zeros following it.

Then we can divide this number by 100 to find the number of dollars it is.

We get 752 with 105 zeros following it.

Now we can find the arithmetic equation for the dollars.

We can see that 10 dollars is being added every time.

Use the formula.

[tex]a_n=a_1+m(n-1)[/tex]

We can plug in.

[tex]a_n=10+10(n-1)[/tex]

Now we can substitute 52 for [tex]x[/tex] in the equation.

[tex]a_{52}=10+10(52-1)[/tex]

[tex]a_{52}=10+510 \\ \\a_{52}=520[/tex]

So you'll be getting 520 dollars at the end of the year, which is far less than the amount of money you get from the pennies.

Answer:

A. He will break the record by 36 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year:

average yards per game: 280 yards

Increase by 25%:

average yards = 125% of 280 yd = 1.25 * 280 yd = 350 yd

By increasing the yards per game by 25% he will have an average of 350 yd per game this year.

The school record is 3,114 yd, so the average per game for a 9-game season is: 3,114 yd/9 = 346 yd.

He will pass the record by 350 yd - 346 yd = 4 yd per game.

In a 9-game season, he will break the record by 9 * 4 yd = 36 yd.

Answer: A. He will break the record by 36 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we observe the given sequence, we find that the ratio of two consecutive terms is the same. i.e.

[tex]\frac{3}{1.2}=2.5\\\\\frac{7.5}{3}=2.5\\\\ \frac{18.75}{7.5}=2.5[/tex]

Such a sequence in which the ratio of consecutive terms remain the same is know as Geometric Sequence. Following formula is used to represent a Geometric Sequence:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}\times(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

Here:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the general term. Using the value of n =1,2,3 ... will give us the term of the sequence.

[tex]a_{1}[/tex] is the first term which is 1.2 in this case.

r represents the common ratio which is 2.5.

Using these values we get:

[tex]a_{n}=1.2 \times(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Answers

Final answer:

The correct sets of values for the fourth, fifth, and sixth visits' exercise intensity, according to the described F.I.T.T. pattern of increase after consistent intensity, would be options B (66%, 69%, 72%) and E (63%, 65%, 67%).

Explanation:

The student's question regarding the recommended exercise intensity for the aerobic program is a matter related to health and physical education. Specifically, it involves understanding how to apply the F.I.T.T. principle to plan an aerobic workout regimen. The program described outlines a pattern of consistent intensity, followed by a gradual increase and then a decrease in intensity. When looking for the set of values that could represent the intensity of exercises during the fourth, fifth, and sixth visits, we should look for a pattern that indicates an increase in intensity from the prior three consistent visits.

Given the following options, the correct pattern would be one that shows an increase over three visits:

B. 66%, 69%, 72% - This shows a consistent increase in intensity.

E. 63%, 65%, 67% - This also shows a consistent increase in intensity.

Options A, C, D, and F do not fit the pattern of increasing and then decreasing as described in the student's question. Therefore, the correct set of values for the intensity of exercises on the fourth, fifth, and sixth visits are B and E.
