Question

Jess observed that 60% of the people at a mall on a particular day shopped for clothes. If 2500 people at the mall did not shop for clothes that day, the number of people who shopped for clothes that day was ______. (only put numeric values, no other symbols)

Answer 1

@sleepyjess please help

Answer 2

@timo86m @dan815 help

Answer 3

@RadEn

Answer 4

@carlyakaj

Answer 5

PLEASE HELP

Answer 6

100% - 60% = 40%
so 40% = number of people that did Not shop = 2500 people

Answer 7

part of the question says (only put numeric values, no other symbols) so would i just put 40 with out the %

Answer 8

I wasn't quite done, sorry...
solve for x (stands for the 100%)
x * 0.4 = 2500

Answer 9

are you good at algebra? would you be able to help me on more questions

Answer 10

yeah, I can help with more :)

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

once you get x from the
x * 0.4 = 2500
do x * 0.6 = (answer you want)

Answer 13

so the answer would be 0.6

Answer 14

not quite :)
what do you get when you solve for x for
0.4x = 2500 ?

Answer 15

you would get either 6250 or 0.00016 i think

Answer 16

x = 6250 :)
then 6250 times 0.6 = (answer you want)

Answer 17

so the answer would be 3750

Answer 18

correct! :)

Answer 19

thanks is that the final answer

Answer 20

yup :)

Answer 21

The table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by Beluga Fun Tours:


Age Ticket Price
Under 3 years free
3 to 12 years $34
Over 12 years $45

On a certain day, the company took 103 people on whale watching trips. There were 64 children aged 12 and under, of which some children were under 3 years. If x represents the number of children under 3 years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where C represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day?
(64 - x)34 + (103 - 64) ⋅ 45 = C

(103 + x)34 + (103 -(64 + x)) ⋅ 45 = C

(103 - x)34 + (103 - 64) ⋅ 45 = C

(64 + x)34 + (103 -(64 + x)) ⋅ 45 = C

Answer 22

what about thhis one

Answer 23

gimme a minute :)

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

ok... so
the number of "over 12 years" = 103-64
makes sense?
and the cost for "over 12 years" = 45
so part of the equation has to include (103-64)45

Answer 26

ok i undrestand then what

Answer 27

then
64 - x = number of "3 to 12 years"
and the cost of "3 to 12 years" = 34
so it would also include the part (64 - x)34

Answer 28

so then you would do (103-61) * 45=c

Answer 29

not quite :)
take a look at the given choices
and combine the two parts that I gave :)

Answer 30

ok hold on

Answer 31

would it be the 1st answer (64 - x)34 + (103 - 64) ⋅ 45 = C

Answer 32

yup :)

Answer 33

The width of a rectangle is 12 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle can be 60 units when its length y is 18 units?

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 60.

No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 24.

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 12 + 2y.

Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y.

Answer 34

im on this practice test and i just want help to be ready for the pretest

Answer 35

x = 2(12) + 2(y)
if y=18
plug it in and see if x=60

Answer 36

yes it equals 60

Answer 37

then "Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y"

Answer 38

Equation 1 |4x – 3|− 5 = 4
Equation 2 |2x + 3| + 8 = 3


Which statement is true about the solution to the two equations?
Equation 1 and equation 2 have no solutions.

Equation 1 has no solution and equation 2 has solutions x = -4, 1.

The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, -1.5 and equation 2 has no solution.

The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, -1.5 and equation 2 has solutions x = -4, 1.

Answer 39

well, the way would would solve an absolute value equation would be
|4x – 3|− 5 = 4 isolate abs value by add 5 to both sides
+5 +5
|4x - 3| = 9 which can be separated into
4x - 3 = 9 and 4x - 3 = -9
then solve for x for both

Answer 40

x=-1.5

Answer 41

absolute value equations separate into two equations
so that x can equal two values

Answer 42

so would it be " The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, -1.5 and equation 2 has no solution."

Answer 43

correct :)

Answer 44

Step 1: |x - 2| + 3 = 7
Step 2: |x - 2| = 7 - 3
Step 3: |x - 2| = 4

Which of the following is a correct next step to solve the equation?

x + 2 = -4

-x – 2 = 4

x + 2 = 4

x - 2 = -4

Answer 45

|x - 2| = 4 can be separated into
x - 2 = 4 and x - 2 = -4

Answer 46

opps sorry it would be x-2=-4

Answer 47

yup :)

Answer 48

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 2(x - 1) greater than or equal to -12?

x greater than or equal to -5

x less than or greater to -5

-5 less than or greater to x

A number line with a closed circle on negative 5 and shading to the right

Answer 49

solve for x as would would for an equation.

2(x-1) > -12
distribute the 2
add 2 to both sides
divide both sides by 2
and you get...

Answer 50

x greater than or equal to -5

Answer 51

correct :)

Answer 52

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality -x - 10 > 14 + 2x.


-x - 10 > 14 + 2x

-3x -10 > 14

x < -8

-3x > 24

-3x < 4

-3x > -4

8 < x

Answer 53

that weird >,< there's multiple typos?

Answer 54

oh wait... or are the last four options?

Answer 55

the last 4 options

Answer 56

from -3x -10 > 14
you'll need to add 10 to both sides
so once you add 10 to both sides, what do you get?

Answer 57

-3x>24

Answer 58

yup :)

Answer 59

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 3(2x - 1) greater than or equal to 4(2x - 3) - 3?

x less than or greater to 6

6 greater than or equal to x

A number line with a closed circle on 6 and shading to the left

A number line with a closed circle on 6 and shading to the right

Answer 60

sorry, I just realized this question said "Not"
Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 2(x - 1) greater than or equal to -12?
x greater than or equal to -5
x less than or greater to -5 <- so it would be this one
-5 less than or greater to x
A number line with a closed circle on negative 5 and shading to the right

Answer 61

OK

Answer 62

to solve this inequality
3(2x - 1) > 4(2x - 3) - 3
distribute on both sides
add like terms
subtract 8x from both sides
add 3 to both sides
divide both sides by -2 and don't forget to flip the sign :)

Answer 63

x<6

Answer 64

yup :)

Answer 65

so its x less than or greater to 6

Answer 66

umm it's asking "Which of the following is NOT a way"

Answer 67

oh sorry it kicked me out and so it would be 6 greater than or equal to x

Answer 68

x<6 is same as 6>x

Answer 69

A number line with a closed circle on 6 and shading to the right

Answer 70

correct :)

Answer 71

Abbey wants to use her savings of $1325 to learn yoga. The total charges to learn yoga include a fixed registration fee of $35 and a monthly fee of $50. What is the maximum number of months for which Abbey can learn yoga with her savings?

24

25

26

27

Answer 72

solve the inequality 50x + 35 < 1325

Answer 73

26

Answer 74

you would end up with x < 25.8
so round down :)

Answer 75

so it is 26 or 24

Answer 76

what is the integer less than 25.8?

Answer 77

27

Answer 78

less than 25.8?

Answer 79

would be 25

Answer 80

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality

x - 1 less than or greater to 12 or 2x greater than or equal to 30.

A number line with an open circle on 13, shading to the left, and an open circle on 15, shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on 13, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 15, shading to the right.

A number line with an open circle on 13, an open circle on 15, and shading in between.

A number line with a closed circle on 13, a closed circle on 15, and shading in between.

Answer 81

solve for x for x - 1 < 12

Answer 82

x<13

Answer 83

then solve for x for 2x > 30

Answer 84

x>15

Answer 85

then they are both closed hole cuz of the "or equal to"

Answer 86

so it would be A number line with a closed circle on 13, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 15, shading to the right.

Answer 87

3x + 1 > 10 and 4x less than or greater to 20.

A number line with an open circle on 3, a closed circle on 5, and shading in between.

A number line with an open circle on 3, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 5, shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on 3, shading to the left, and an open circle on 5, and shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on 3, an open circle on 5, and shading in between.

Answer 88

solve for both separately
3x + 1 > 10 4x < 20

Answer 89

I've gtg
x > 3 x <_ 5
open hole at 3 because has no "or equal to"
closed hole at 5 because has "or equal to"
shaded in between
