Three candidates were running for president of a student council. Altogether, 1524 students cast a vote in the election. The second place candidate had 140 votes less than the winner, but 395 votes more than the last place candidate. What percentage of all the votes cast were received by the winner? (Round your answer to the nearest percent).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes casted = 1524 votes = 100%

Let a = votes of first place candidate

b = votes of second place candidate

c = votes of third place candidate

The second place candidate had 140 votes less than the winner

b = a - 140 votes...... Equation 1

Hence,

a = b + 140.......... Equation 2

Second place candidate has 395 votes more than the last place candidate

b = c + 395.......Equation 3

Hence,

c = b - 395......Equation 4

a + b + c = 1524 votes....... Equation 5

If a = b + 140 and c = b - 395

The number of votes by b(second place candidate ) =

b + 140 + b + b - 395 = 1524 votes

3b = 1524 + 395 - 140

3b = 1779

b = 1779/3

b = 593 votes.

Therefore, the second place candidate had 593 votes.

Now we can calculate how many votes, the other candidates had.

The second place candidate had 140 votes less than the winner

Votes for the winner( first place candidate)

b = a - 140 votes...... Equation 1

Hence,

a = b + 140.......... Equation 2

Since b = 593

a = 593 + 140

a = 733 votes

Votes for the last place candidate

Since, Second place candidate has 395 votes more than the last place candidate

b = c + 395.......Equation 3

Hence,

c = b - 395......Equation 4

b = 593

c = 593 - 395

c = 198

From the above calculation,

a = votes of first place (winner) candidate = 733

b = votes of second place candidate = 593

c = votes of third(last) place candidate = 198

In the above question, we were asked to calculate the percentage of all the votes cast were received by the winner.

This is calculated as

= Voted received by winner/ Total number of votes casted × 100

= 733/1524 × 100

= 48.09711286%

Approximately to the nearest percent = 48%

Therefore, the percentage of all the votes cast were received by the winner = 48%

Suppose that for each firm in the competitive market for potatoes, long-run average cost is minimized at $0.6 per pound when 150 pounds are grown. The demand for potatoes is Q = 40,000/p. If the long-run supply curve is horizontal, then what would be the total consumer spending?

Answers

Answer:

Total consumer spending is 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Here , we are interested in calculating the total consumer spending.

In a long run perfect competition market, price interest with MC and minimum point of AC

Hence , P = AC

this means that Q = 40,000/P = 40,000/150 = 266.67 which is approximately 267 potatoes will be consumed

The total consumer spending is thus 267 * 0.6 = 160

Find the equation of the following ellipse based on the following information: Vertices: (-2,0), (2,0) minor axis of length 2​

Answers

Answer:

The expression of the ellipse is: [tex]\frac{x^2}{4} + y^2 = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a ellipse can be written by the following expression:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

Where 2a is the length of the major axis and 2b is the length of the minor axi. Since we were given the length of the minor vertex, then:

[tex]2b = 2\\b = 1[/tex]

The length of the major axis is the distance between the two vertices.

[tex]2a = \sqrt{[2 - (-2)]^2}\\2a = \sqrt{(2 + 2)^2}\\2a = \sqrt{4^2}\\2a = 4\\a = 2[/tex]

Therefore the expression of the ellipse is:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{2^2} + \frac{y^2}{1^2} = 1\\\\\frac{x^2}{4} + y^2 = 1[/tex]

According to an article by George Will (San Jose Mercury News, Feb. 28, 2002), the average U.S. consumption per person per year of French Fries is 28 pounds. Suppose that you believe that the average in Santa Clara County is not 28 pounds. You randomly survey 50 people in this county. The sample average is 24 pounds with a sample standard deviation of 10 pounds. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test. The p-value for this test is:________.
a. 0.0068
b. 0.0034
c. 0.0136
d. 0.0047

Answers

Answer: d. 0.0047

Step-by-step explanation: The p-value is the calculated value used to compare to the significance level to determine if you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

To find p-value, first find the z-score:

z = [tex]\frac{x-\mu}{SE}[/tex]

x is sample mean

μ is population mean

SE is standard error calculated by [tex]\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

SE = [tex]\frac{10}{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

SE = 1.414

z = [tex]\frac{24-28}{1.414}[/tex]

z = - 2.83

The hypotheses ([tex]H_{0}, H_{a}[/tex]) are if sample mean is equal or different from the average given, so, p-value will be the value of z from z-table multiplied by 2:

p-value = 0.00233*2

p-value = 0.0047

The p-value for this test is 0.0047

The graph is a marginal cost curve that compares expenses for producing apple pies. According to the graph, the marginal cost begins to increase when the producer makes two pies. three pies. four pies. five pies.

Answers

The correct answer is C. Four pies

Explanation:

Marginal cost refers to an increase in the cost of production as additional units are made. In the case of apple pies, the graph shows the cost for one is $1.00. Moreover, this decreases when two or three pies are produced because the cost is between $0.60 and $0.30. However, if the producer makes four or more units, the cost increases. For example, at four units the cost per unit is $0.60, while at six units the cost is $1.50. Thus, the marginal cost begins to increase at four pies.

Answer: four pies

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a marginal cost curve that compares expenses therefore it would equal four pies because the marginal cost rises on the graph starting at 4.

Given: l | | m m 1 = 140° m 3 = 50° m 6 =

Answers

Answer:

m∠6 = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 and ∠2 are a linear pair.  This means they are supplementary, or their measures sum to 180°.  To find m∠2, we subtract m∠1 from 180:

180-140 = 40°

The measure of ∠2 is 40°.

The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°.  We have ∠2 and ∠3; to find the measure of ∠6, we subtract these two from 180:

180-(40+50) = 180-90 = 90°

Answer:

26 ≤ x ≤ 39 where x is # of hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of hours she works x, Nicole will have made 9.50x after x hours. Therefore, we can write the following compound inequality:

245.60 ≤ 9.50x ≤ 368.40 (Note that we use ≤ instead of <; "at least/most" is denoted by ≤ or ≥)

Dividing the entire inequality by 9.50 (to get rid of the coefficient on x, we get about 26 ≤ x ≤ 39. We round up to the nearest integer because you can't really have, say, 25.69 hours in this context, you would have 26.

PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the values of a and b. Solve for the value of c, if
c= a + b.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent, thus

SR = PQ , that is

8a - 4 = 6a + 10 ( subtract 6a from both sides )

2a - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

2a = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 7

In a parallelogram consecutive angles are supplementary, thus

∠ P + ∠ Q = 180, that is

18b - 11 + 9b + 2 = 180, that is

27b - 9 = 180 ( add 9 to both sides )

27b = 189 ( divide both sides by 27 )

b = 7

Thus c = a + b = 7 + 7 = 14 → B

Answer:

469.4ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have ∆ WXY in the above question,

From which we have obtained the following values

Angle W = 27°

Angle X = ?

Angle Y = 40°

Side w =?

Side x = ?

Side y = 38ft

Area of the triangle= ?

Step 1

We find Angle X

We know that the Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

In the question above, we are given 2 angles

Hence,

Angle X = 180 - ( Angle W + Angle Y)

= 180° - (27 + 40)°

= 180° - 67°

Angle X = 113°

Step 2

Find the sides w and x

We find these sides using the Rule of sines

Rule of Sines =

a/ sin A = b/ Sin B = c/Sin C

Hence for triangle WXY

w/ sin W = x/ sin X = y/ sin Y

We have the following values

Angle W = 27°

Angle X = 113°

Angle Y = 40°

We are given side y = 38ft

Determining side w

w/ sin W= y/ sin Y

w/sin 27 = 38/sin 40

Cross Multiply

sin 27 × 38 = w × sin 40

w = sin 27 × 38/sin 40

w = 26.83879ft

w = 26.84ft

Determining side x

w/ sin W = x/ sin X

26.84/ sin 27 = x/sin 113

Cross Multiply

sin 113 × 26.84 = x × sin 27

x = sin 113 × 26.84/sin 27

x = 54.42041ft

x = 54.42ft

To find the area of triangle WXY

We apply the use of heron formula

= √s(s - w) (s - x) (s - y)

Where S = w + x + y/ 2

s = (38 + 26.84 + 54.42)/2

s = 59.63

Area of the triangle = √59.63× (59.63 - 38) × (59.63 - 26.84 ) × (59.63 - 54.42)

Area of the triangle = √ 220343.61423

Area of the triangle = 469.40772706541ft²

D: Using your answer to part C, what is the approximate area of the octagon (to the nearest whole )?

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the diagram of a regular octagon is inscribed inside a circle.

Suppose the perimeter if the octagon is 8a.

(a)

Compute the measure of a side of the octagon as follows:

[tex]\text{Perimeter}=8\times side\\\\8\times side=8a\\\\side=a[/tex]

Thus, the side of the octagon is a units.

(b)

The sum of all angles of around a point is 360°.

Consider the point P on the octagon.

The sum of all the angle surrounding P will be 360°.

There are a total of 8 angle surrounding the point P.

Then the measure of central angle is:

[tex]\text{Central Angle}=\frac{360^{o}}{8}=45^{o}[/tex]

Thus, the measure of central angle is 45°.

(c)

The line segment from the center of an octagon to the midpoint of a side, perpendicular to said side, is known as the apothem.

Consider the diagram.

In the diagram the line segment PC is an apothem, that is perpendicular to the AB.

The measure of segment AC = a/2 and the measure of segment PA is r (radius of the circle).

Compute he measure of PC as follows:

[tex]PA^{2}=PC^{2}+AC^{2}\\\\PC^{2}=PA^{2}-AC^{2}\\\\PC=\sqrt{PA^{2}-AC^{2}}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{r^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{4}}[/tex]

Thus, the measure of the apothem of the octagon  is[tex]\sqrt{r^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{4}}[/tex].

now, the circumference of the smaller wheel, will just be C = 2πr, with a radius of "r".

we also know that the large wheel has a circumference that is 9 feet larger than the small one, so, since the small one has a circumference of 2πr, then the large one will have a circumference of 2πr + 9.

after Thomas cycled for a while, the large did 500 revolutions, or times around, whilst the small one did 1400, since it's smaller.  On that time, they covered however, the same amount of ground, since they're on the same bike.

The amount covered by the small one in 1400 cycles, is 1400(2πr), that's how much ground it covered.

The amount covered by the large one in 500 cycles, is 500(2πr + 9).

And we know that ground covered, is the same for both, therefore, we also know that   1400(2πr)  =  500(2πr + 9).

Answers

Answer:

208 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you take the area of the whole rectangle, to do this you simply multiply 30 by 15, meaning that the big rectangle’s area is 450 cm².

Then, you take the area of the small rectangle (the unshaded one), to do this, you simply figure out the sides (they end up being 11 cm and 22 cm, you can find this out through subtracting) and to find the area of this rectangle, you multiply 11 by 22, which gives you 242 cm²

Now all that is left to do is to subtract the unshaded area by the whole rectangles area to find the shaded part! This will look like this: 450-242= 208 cm²

208cm^2

Area of rectangle=length*breath
So we should divide the shaded area into 2 rectangles
And find the area of those two rectangles separately
And at last we should add them

So the final answer is 208cm^2
