a baseball player has 9 hits in his first 60 at bats. how many consecutive hits would he need to bring his average up to 0.400? Let the amount of consecutive hits needed be h. We have: hits / at bats = Batting Average Plugging in our numbers, we get: (9 + h)/60 = 0.400 Cross multiply: 9 + h = 60 * 0.4 9 + h = 24 To solve this equation for h, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=9%2Bh%3D24&pl=Solve']we type it in our search engine[/URL] and we get: h = [B]15[/B]

A cashier has 44 bills, all of which are $10 or $20 bills. The total value of the money is $730. How many of each type of bill does the cashier have? Let a be the amount of $10 bills and b be the amount of $20 bills. We're given two equations: [LIST=1] [*]a + b = 44 [*]10a + 20b = 730 [/LIST] We rearrange equation 1 in terms of a. We subtract b from each side and we get: [LIST=1] [*]a = 44 - b [*]10a + 20b = 730 [/LIST] Now we substitute equation (1) for a into equation (2): 10(44 - b) + 20b = 730 Multiply through to remove the parentheses: 440 - 10b + 20b = 730 Group like terms: 440 + 10b = 730 Now, to solve for b, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=440%2B10b%3D730&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: b = [B]29 [/B] To get a, we take b = 29 and substitute it into equation (1) above: a = 44 - 29 a = [B]15 [/B] So we have [B]15 ten-dollar bills[/B] and [B]29 twenty-dollar bills[/B]

[*]B(h) is the number of bacteria at time h [*]B(0) is the starting bacteria amount [*]Doubling means multiplying by 2, so we have: [/LIST] B(h) = B(0) * 2^h We want h = 9, so we have: B(9) = 500 * 2^9 B(9) = 500 * 512 B(9) = [B]256,000[/B]

A Petri dish contains 2000. The number of bacteria triples every 6 hours. How many bacteria will exist after 3 days? Determine the amount of tripling periods: [LIST] [*]There are 24 hours in a day. [*]24 hours in a day * 3 days = 72 hours [*]72 hours / 6 hours tripling period = 12 tripling periods [/LIST] Our bacteria population function B(t) where t is the amount of tripling periods. Tripling means we multiply by 3, so we have: B(t) = 2000 * 3^t with t = 12 tripling periods, we have: B(12) = 2000 * 3^12 B(12) = 2000 * 531441 B(12) = [B]1,062,882,000[/B]

A restaurant bill comes to $28.35. Find the total cost if the tax is 6.25% and a 20% tip is left on the amount before tax. Calculate the tip: Tip = Bill Before Tax * Tip % Tip = $28.35 * 20% Tip = $5.67 Calculate Tax: Tax = Bill without Tip * Tax % Tax = $28.35 * 6.25% Tax = $1.77 Total Cost = Bill + Tax + Tip Total Cost = $28.35 + $5.67 + $1.77 Total Cost = [B]$35.79[/B]

A restaurant earns $1073 on Friday and $1108 on Saturday. Write and solve an equation to find the amount x (in dollars) the restaurant needs to earn on Sunday to average $1000 per day over the three-day period. Let Sunday's earnings be s. With 3 days, we divide our sum of earnings for 3 days by 3 to get our 1,000 average, so we have: (1073 + 1108 + s)/3 = 1000 Cross multiply: 1073 + 1108 + s = 1000 * 3 1073 + 1108 + s = 3000 To solve for s, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=1073%2B1108%2Bs%3D3000&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: s = [B]819[/B]
