A pharmaceutical company’s stock price was $45.32 on Monday. On Tuesday, the price went up $3.25. On Wednesday, the price decreased from Tuesday’s price by $1.73. On Thursday, the price went up $0.89 from Wednesday’s price. Which of the following was the final price on Thursday?

we are to use the pie chart to find the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care.

Letting x represent the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care, we set the proportion equation with number of students as numerator and percentage as denominator. It should be noted that the whole pie chart represents 100% of the 800 students. Then,

We solve the value of x by cross-products.

Therefore, 144 students will enroll for a dental hygiene program.

The sides of a right-angled triangle are determined by the Pythagoras theorem. If we let the unknown side to x as in the figure below, then theory is applied as follows.  

The value of x is found as:

The value of the unknown leg side of a triangle is about 9.8 feet.

we are asked to find the amount of milk in mL using the given information.

If we let x represent the amount of milk in mL, we set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.

A recipe of 3.4 teaspoons is equal to 17.0 mL.

Amount of salary will vary if the other three variables change. Therefore, salary is a dependent variable.

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.

The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:

Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

Now, we know the radius of circle to be  9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,

  in.

A dependent variable is one that changes when another variable changes. In this case, the cost of the phone will change depending on the change inbrand name, size of the RAM, and size of the battery. Thus, cost of a phone is a dependent variable.

We are tasked to find the unknown values of x in the given equation.

First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

From our resulting equation, a=14, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition (u=a) becomes

Solving for x

The second condition (u= -a) becomes

Solving for x

Thus, the value of x is 4 or -3

we are asked to find the percent change in weight gain of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight gained over the 4 months

Change in weight= 186-176=10 lb

The percent change is expressed as change in weight over original weight *100. Then

The percent change in weight is 6% to the nearest whole number.
