A newspaper article reports the results of an election between two candidates. The article says that Smith received 10% of the votes and that Murphy received 1 5 of the votes. A reader writes in to complain that the article cannot be accurate. What reason might the reader have to say this?

If all the votes were for Smith or Murphy, then 10% plus ?% should equal ?%, but actually equals ?%.

Answer:

Interest = $ 720

Step-by-step explanation:

p =  $ 3000

r = 4%

t = 6

I = [tex]3000*\frac{4}{100}*6\\[/tex]

= 30 *4 * 6

= 720

Amount  = p + I

               = 3000 + 720

               = $ 3720

Answer:

n = 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

35n = 15

Move all the numbers to one side, and the variables on the other side. We are going to move the 35 to the right side of the equation. To do that, divide both sides by the same term (in this case, 35):

35n/35 = 15/35

We are left with:

n = 15/35

Simplify:

n = 3/7

Answer:

$2450

Step-by-step explanation:

7% of 5000 is 350 which means that she would be paying $350 a year and so if you multiply the amount she pays a year ($350) you would get $2450.

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line has negative numbers on the left and positive on the right

5 units to the right of 3 would be 3+5 which would equal 8

The opposite of a number is another number that is the same distance from zero

In this case, the opposite of 8 would be -8 because 8 is 8 away from zero, and so is -8

WHEN × = 0 , y = 0 miles

WHEN × = 1 , y = 4 miles

WHEN × = 2 , y = 8 miles

WHEN × = 3 , y = 12 miles

WHEN × = 4 , y = 16 miles

WHEN × = 5 , y = 20 miles

if Kirsten walked 4 miles per hour we use the formula

if 1 hour = 4 mile what is the mile in the other hours by criss cross formula

Answer:

k=2

Step-by-step explanation:

First your going to switch sides

8k - 3 + 1 = 14

Then your going to do - 3 + 1 = -2

Then you get this equation

8k - 2 = 14

Then your going to add 2 to both sides

8k - 2 + 2 = 14 + 2

Then simplify

8k = 16

Then divide both sides by 8

8k/8 = 16/8

Then simplify again and heres

your answer

k=2

Answer:

14 = 8k - 3 + 1   ;   k=2

Step-by-step explanation:

14= 8k - 3 + 1

switch sides:

8k -3 + 1 =14

add/subtract the numbers:

8k-2+2=14+2

simplify:

8k=16

divide both sides by 8:

8k/8 = 16/8

simplify:

k=2

Answer:

A: 7a - 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

got it in the comment

Hey, sorry this took so long for you to get an answer. Let me try.

Part A: Answer choice C.

Part B: 6 people can come to the bowling alley.

For Part A, I've concluded that the answer is C. Ben can't spend more than $80, so it has to be equal to or less than 80. The flat fee is $45, and the cost per person is variable, $5.50p, so I combined all of those together and got 45+5.50p ≤ 80 .

This is answer choice C.

And for Part B, I got 6. I got this answer from doing 80, the maximum cost, minus the flat rate, 45. Then, I divided this number by 5.50 to get the number of friends that could be paid for.  I originally got 6.3636... but I rounded down because you can't have 0.3636... of a friend to come to the bowling alley.

Hopefully this isn't too late. Good luck.

Answer:

Johnny had seven and a half cookies. His sister gave him two, while his sister was giving him two his brother stuck half of one in his pocket. How many cookies DO HE GOT?

Step-by-step explanation:

X represents the amount of cookies Johnny has.

The value of x is [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

'An equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value.'

According to the given problems,

Let us assume,

Janet had 10 biscuits. She gave her daughter 2 biscuits and a monkey nearby snatched half of one biscuit and ran. She needs to know the number of biscuits left with her counting half of the biscuit left with her.

Let the number of biscuits left be x,

Number of biscuits Janet gave to her daughter = 2

Number of biscuits the monkey took = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of a biscuit.

Total number of biscuits lost = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

                                                = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore,

Number of biscuits left with Janet,

⇒ x + [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 10

⇒ x + [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] = 10

⇒ x = 10 - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

⇒ x = [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude, Janet has [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] biscuits left.
