In an election between two candidates 25% of the voters did not cast their votes a candidate scored 40% of the votes polled and was defeated by 900 votes.find the total number of voters.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find how many votes there were.

Since the losing candidate had 40% of the votes, that means the winning candidate had 60% of the votes.

Let x = amount of votes for losing candidate

x/40 = 900/60

Cross multiply

60x = 36,000

Divide both sides by 60

x = 600

The losing candidate had 600 votes

Add that number to 900 and we find the total amount of votes, which is 1500.

This number is the people who voted.

Now we have to find how many did not vote.

Since 25% of people did not vote, that makes people who did vote 75%

Let y = amount of voters who did not vote

y/25 = 1500/75

75y = 37,500

Divide both sides by 75

75y/75 = 37,500/75

y = 500

This means that 500 voters did not cast a vote.

Add that number to 1500 and we get that the total amount of voters is 2000

Answers

You have not provided the options, but this solution is an equation that will work:

Answer:

4 / 7 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

      Since the total material is 4 feet long, we can divide 4 feet by 7, the number of equal pieces cut, to see how long each piece is.

      This gives us an answer of 4/7 or about 0.571

determine all combinations of lengths that could be used to make a traingle 1,3,6,8

Answers

Answer:

3, 6, and 8 for a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's start with what we know

The sum of the 2 lesser lengths of a triangle must be greater than the greatest length of a triangle. Otherwise, it cannot be a triangle

a + b > c

Note: variables a and b are the lesser lengths of a triangle, and c is the greatest length.

We are to list out the possible combinations of triangles here with lengths  1, 3, 6, and 8.

So, with the formula above, we will get the combination of

3,6,8

Any other combinations of triangle lengths will not work

Extraneous solutions are untrue solution of an equation

How to determine the extraneous solutions

The equation is given as:

[tex]\sqrt{z^2+2z-3}=z-3[/tex]

When squared, it becomes

[tex]z^2+2z-3=z^2-6z + 9[/tex]

Evaluate the like terms

Substitute 1.5 for z in the given equation

A set of speakers for a classroom cost 365.23. The school needs to place them in 42 classrooms. How much will it cost to place speakers in all of the classrooms?

Answers

Answer:

$15339.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with what we know,

1 classroom = 1 set of speakers

1 set of speakers = $365.23

The school has 42 classrooms

Find how much it will cost to place the speakers in all of the classrooms

To find the amount it will cost, you will need to substitute values

1 school = 42 classrooms

              = 42 sets of speakers

              = 42 (365.23)

              = 15339.66

It will take $15339.66 to place the speakers in all of the classrooms at the school.

a line passes through the origin (3,5) and (-12, b) what is the value of B?

Answers

Answer:

b = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the slope of the line.

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Origin: (0, 0)

We can use (0, 0) and (3, 5) to find the slope:

[tex]Slope=\frac{5-0}{3-0}=\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Then, we can plug this into the equation for slope to find the value of b (the slope has to be the same, since they're on the same line)

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{3}=\frac{b-5}{-12-3}\\\frac{5}{3}=\frac{b-5}{-15}\\\text{Multiply both sides by -15}\\\frac{5}{3}(-15)=b-5\\\frac{-75}{3}=b-5\\-25=b-5\\\text{Add 5 to both sides}\\b=-20[/tex]

Answers

1. 45/6 = 7.5
7.5*10 = 75
So the penguin walks 75 ft in 45 seconds.

2. 45/10 = 4.5
4.5*6 = 27
The penguin takes 27 seconds to walk 45 ft.

Hey!

Let's see... if they walk 10 feet in 6 seconds,  then they walk about half a foot a second (0.6 to be exact.)

Multiply 0.6 by 45 and your answer should be.. 27. So, they walk 27 feet in 45 seconds.

Next, we keep multiplying 0.6 by a number over 45, but under 100, and the total amount of time it takes for a penguin to was 45 feet is... 75!

We know this because 75x0.6 is 45. and 75 is the number of seconds it takes to walk 45 feet for the penguin.

Your answer for #1 is 27

Your answer for #2 is 75
