A person weighed themselves at 160 lb. Three months later they weighed themselves at 130 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)

Given the equation F(z)=9z+28

To find the value of F(z), we need to vary the value of z. In this case, z is the independent variable while F(z) is what we measure, which is the dependent variable.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows

If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Cross-multiply to find the value of x.

Converting 189/10 to a mixed fraction is 18 9/10. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 18 9/10 gallons of water.

A dependent variable changes with any change made in an independent variable. From this case, cost of meals depends on other three options. In other words, the quantity of meal, number of toppings, and types of spices influence the cost of the meal.

To find the cheapest option, we find the expenditure on each given option.:

2 two-24 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda=2($15)+$3=$33

3 one 24-pack of Orange=3($9)=$27

2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda=2($14)+$3=$31

5 packs of cream Soda=5($3)=$15

Spending 5 packs of cream soda is the cost-effective option.

The median of a data set is determined by arranging the numbers in ascending orders, and the median is the number the falls in the middle position.

-7, -4, 1, 3, 9

There are five numbers in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 1 fall in the third position.

 we use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert 3.9 L to mL as follows.

Thus, 3.9 L is 3900 mL.

To find the amount of vanilla in mL, we set up an equation in a way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,

Thus, a recipe of 6 teaspoons equals 29.58 mL.

percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. To get the decimal form of the percent given, e divide the value by 100.

The decimal form of 58.7% is 0.587.

 We are asked to make w the subject of the formula.

First, we rearrange the equation by to ensure w is on the right hand of the equation.

Then, divide both sides by r

Multiply both sides by y

The above equation can be rearranged into

Thus, the formula for finding the value of w is (x/ry)-(z/r).

we are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 130 cookies.

First, we convert 3 ¼ into improper fraction as:

Letting x to be the number of cups of flour, we set up a proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator becomes:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Dividing both sides by 64, the above equation result to

Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 130 cookies is 845/128 cups, which is equal to 6 77/128 cups.
