A consumer recently purchased a new car and paid $48,000. This amount is $2,000 less than twice what the consumer’s friend paid for their car. Which of the following is the amount that the friend paid for their car?

Use the order of operations to solve the given equation. The acronym PEDMAS will help us to solve the given problem.

P- Parenthesis

E-Exponents

D-Divide

M-Multiply

A-Add

S-Subtract

From the given equation start with solving

12 ÷3*4-1+23

Next, carry out division 12÷3=4

4*4-1+23

Multiply is 4*4=16

16-1+23

Add or subtract can be conducted in any order. From left to right, we subtract followed by addition

Subtract 16-1=15

15+23

The last step is to add 15+23

15+23=38

Thus, the answer to the given equation is 38.

To find the circumference of the flower bed (which is a circle), you use the formula π×diameter\pi \times \text{diameter}π×diameter. With a diameter of 5 feet and using π≈3.14\pi \approx. 3.14π≈3.14, the calculation is 3.14×5=15.73.14 \times 5 = 15.73.14×5=15.7 feet, which is the required length of the barrier.

In this case, we are measuring average weight of the babies with time. The weight of the babies will vary with time, meaning when we vary time, the average weight of the babies will be different. Here, time is independent while average weight is dependent variable.

Here are the calculations for the gumballs:

• Total Gumballs: 120
• Red Gumballs: 20% of 120 = 24
• Orange Gumballs: 30% of 120 = 36
• Yellow Gumballs: 5% of 120 = 6
• Green Gumballs: 10% of 120 = 12
• Blue Gumballs: 120−(24+36+6+12) =42

Difference

The difference between the number of blue gumballs and yellow gumballs is: 42 − 6=36

Based on the context, a synonym for "salient" is important, as it refers to points that are prominent or significant in the presentation.

Determine the number of blue and yellow gumballs as follows:

Percent of blue gumballs=100%-(20%+30%+5%+10%) =100%-65%=35%

Number of blue gumballs =35% of 120=0.55*120 = 42 blue gumballs [35%=35/100=0.35]

Number of yellow gumballs=5% of 120=0.05*120 = 6 yellow gumballs [5%=5/100=0.05]

Difference between number of blue and yellow gumballs=42-6= 36 balls

Therefore, there are 36 more blue gumballs than yellow gumballs.

Let two number be x and y. Then

Three time a number=3x

Eight times a different number=8y

Sum of the two is 3x+8y

Standard interior doors typically range from0.7 to 0.9 metersin width and 2.0 to 2.1 meters in height. Thus, average width of the door way is about 1.0 m.

To calculate the average rate of change per month, we first determine the total change in the account balance and then divide that by the number of months over which the change occurred.

The change in the balance from March 15 to August 15 is:

Changeinbalance=1450−1140=310

Now, we calculate the number of months between March 15 and August 15:

Numberofmonths=5months

Next, we find the average rate of change per month:

Averagerateofchangepermonth = = 62

Here are the calculations for the medium and large pizzas:

Medium Pizza:

Diameter: 11 inches

Area: ××= 95.03 square inches

Price: $9

Cost per square inch: = 9.47 cents

Large Pizza:

Diameter: 15 inches

Area: ××= 176.71 square inches

Price: $13

Cost per square inch: = 7.36 cents

Cost Difference

The large pizza costs about 2.11 cents less per square inch than the medium pizza.
