Let X be the ball's price. The price of the bat is thereafter $1 higher, or X + 1. Since they each cost $1.10, we obtain bat + ball = X + (X + 1) = 1.1. Accordingly, 2X + 1 = 1.1, 2X = 0.1, and X = 0.05. This indicates that the bat costs $1.05 and the ball costs 5 cents.
One machine needs five minutes to produce one widget if it takes five machines five minutes to produce five (one machine produces one widget every five minutes). Each machine can produce a widget in five minutes if 100 of them are operating simultaneously. In five minutes, there will be one hundred widgets.
You would multiply the price of each item by the quantity of boxes you ordered, and then sum the total cost of all the things to arrive at $820.00.
Solution: Deal with the reams of paper first. Multiply the cost by the quantity of reams. $4.50 x 55 = $247.50.
Proceed in the same manner with the legal pads (40 x $10.00 = $400) and file folders (30 x $5.75 = $172.50).
To determine the overall cost, add together all of the prices. $172.50 + $400 + $247.50 = $820.00
When all the receipts were added up, the coworkers' grocery expenses came to $164.00. Each of them would pay $41.00 if they were to divide the sum among four people.
Solution: To determine the sum, first add up all of the receipts. Since four coworkers wish to split the amount equally, divide the total receipts by four
$45.64 + $72.20 + $46.16 = $164.00 then $164.00 / 4 = $41.00
If an employee works ten days a month and pays $9.00 per day for a breakfast sandwich and coffee, they will make $1,080 annually.
First, find the monthly workday count (10) and multiply it by the employee's daily expense ($9.00). This gives you 10 x $9.00 = $90.00.
To determine your answer, multiply the monthly payment amount ($90.00) by the total number of months in a year (12).
$90.00 (12) = $1,080
In the case where 2,300 applicants apply for the IT jobs and the business decides to hire 15% of them within the following two months, 345 applicants will be hired.
Solution: A percentage is a portion of a number that is greater than 100%.
15%, for instance, is equivalent to 15 out of 100. You will convert 15% to a decimal, or .15, which represents 15 out of 100, to ascertain the number of candidates who will be hired.
To find the number of candidates that equals 15%, multiply the total number of candidates (2,300) by .15.
.15 times 2,300 is 345.
Danny will cover 180 miles in three hours if he travels at 60 miles per hour. Danny could cover 60 miles in an hour if he drove at 60 miles per hour. To find the distance covered in three hours, multiply sixty by three. The answer is 60 x 3 = 180 miles.
The pupils have a total of thirty pieces of fruit after they tally up all of the pieces.
Solution:
Add the number of pieces of fruit that each child has to determine the total amount of fruit. There are ten apples since ten students have one each.
There are two oranges because there are two students and one orange each. There are eight bananas because there are eight students and one banana each.
There are ten strawberries since five kids have two each.
Next, count up all of the fruit pieces to get your total: 10 + 2 + 8 + 10 = 30.
An intern's monthly salary will increase to $4,579.38 when they finish their internship and receive a 3% pay increase.
Solution: A percentage is a portion of a number that is greater than 100%.
As an illustration, 3% denotes 3 out of 100. In order to calculate the wage increase that the interns will receive, convert 3% to a decimal, or .03, which represents 3 out of 100.
The pay increase the interns will receive is $133.38, which is calculated by multiplying the existing compensation of $4,446.00 by .03.
The monthly payment following the pay increase ($4,579.38) is calculated by adding the pay raise ($133.38) to the present pay ($4,446.00).
.03 times $4,446.00 equals $133.38; $133.38 plus $4,446.00 equals $4,579.38.
The patch doubles in size each day going forward. Therefore, the patch halved in size every day since it moved BACKWARDS. The lake is therefore halfway filled on day 47.
To find the total number of pizza pieces, first multiply the number of pizzas (8) by the number of slices each pizza has (12). Next, divide the total number of pizza slices (96) by the total number of kids (24).
Solution: 8 x 12 = 96.
96 / 24 = 4.
