question:Sarah owns a local apiary equipment store where she sells beekeeping supplies. She recently received a shipment of new bee suits and hive tools. Sarah ordered 25 bee suits, each costing 45, and 60 hive tools, each costing 15. If Sarah sells all the bee suits and hive tools at a 20% profit, how much total revenue will she make from selling these items?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the total revenue Sarah will make from selling all the bee suits and hive tools at a 20% profit. Let's break down the problem step-by-step:1. Calculate the Cost of Bee Suits: - Sarah ordered 25 bee suits, each costing 45. - Total cost for bee suits = ( 25 times 45 = 1125 ) dollars.2. Calculate the Cost of Hive Tools: - Sarah ordered 60 hive tools, each costing 15. - Total cost for hive tools = ( 60 times 15 = 900 ) dollars.3. Calculate the Total Cost: - Total cost for both bee suits and hive tools = ( 1125 + 900 = 2025 ) dollars.4. Calculate the Total Revenue with 20% Profit: - Sarah wants to sell all items at a 20% profit. - The profit percentage is 20%, so the total revenue will be 120% of the total cost. - Total revenue = Total cost (times) (1 + Profit Percentage) = ( 2025 times 1.20 ).5. Calculate the Total Revenue: - Total revenue = ( 2025 times 1.20 = 2430 ) dollars.Sarah will make a total revenue of 2430 from selling all the bee suits and hive tools at a 20% profit.# 2430
question:Alex is a content creator who relies on free internet access to upload videos to their independent media channel. They visit a local library that offers free internet access for 2 hours each day. Alex needs to upload 4 videos this week, and each video takes 45 minutes to upload. How many days does Alex need to visit the library this week to upload all 4 videos?
answer:To determine how many days Alex needs to visit the library to upload all 4 videos, we follow these steps:1. Calculate the total upload time needed for all videos: Each video takes 45 minutes to upload. Since Alex needs to upload 4 videos, the total upload time required is: [ text{Total upload time} = 4 text{ videos} times 45 text{ minutes/video} = 180 text{ minutes} ]2. Determine the available upload time per day: Alex has 2 hours of internet access each day at the library. Since 1 hour equals 60 minutes, Alex has: [ text{Available time per day} = 2 text{ hours} times 60 text{ minutes/hour} = 120 text{ minutes/day} ]3. Calculate the minimum number of days needed: To find out how many days are needed, divide the total upload time by the available time per day: [ text{Days needed} = frac{text{Total upload time}}{text{Available time per day}} = frac{180 text{ minutes}}{120 text{ minutes/day}} = 1.5 text{ days} ] Since Alex cannot visit the library for a fraction of a day, they must round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Alex needs: [ text{Days needed} = lceil 1.5 rceil = 2 text{ days} ]Thus, Alex needs to visit the library for 2 days to upload all 4 videos.# 2
question:A jewelry designer is inspired by the unique colors and patterns of volcanic gemstones. She has a collection of 120 gemstones, consisting of obsidian, peridot, and lava stone. She wants to create a new line of necklaces and decides to use 3 obsidian, 2 peridot, and 4 lava stones for each necklace. If she has 60 obsidian, 40 peridot, and 20 lava stones in her collection, how many complete necklaces can she design with these gemstones?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine how many complete necklaces the jewelry designer can create given the constraints of her gemstone collection. Let's break it down step by step:1. Determine the requirement for each type of gemstone per necklace: - Each necklace requires 3 obsidian. - Each necklace requires 2 peridot. - Each necklace requires 4 lava stones.2. Determine the total number of each type of gemstone available: - The designer has 60 obsidian. - The designer has 40 peridot. - The designer has 20 lava stones.3. Calculate the maximum number of necklaces possible with each type of gemstone: - For obsidian: Since each necklace requires 3 obsidian, the maximum number of necklaces she can make with the obsidian available is: [ frac{60 text{ obsidian}}{3 text{ obsidian per necklace}} = 20 text{ necklaces} ] - For peridot: Since each necklace requires 2 peridot, the maximum number of necklaces she can make with the peridot available is: [ frac{40 text{ peridot}}{2 text{ peridot per necklace}} = 20 text{ necklaces} ] - For lava stones: Since each necklace requires 4 lava stones, the maximum number of necklaces she can make with the lava stones available is: [ frac{20 text{ lava stones}}{4 text{ lava stones per necklace}} = 5 text{ necklaces} ]4. Identify the limiting factor: The limiting factor is the gemstone type that allows for the fewest complete necklaces. In this case, it is the lava stones, which allow for only 5 complete necklaces.Therefore, the jewelry designer can create a maximum of 5 complete necklaces with the gemstones available.# 5
question:Nurse Alex is reviewing several health news articles to determine which ones are credible. She decides to spend 3 hours on this task, during which she reads 5 articles every hour. After reading each article, she rates it for credibility on a scale from 1 to 10. Here are her ratings for the articles: 7, 5, 8, 6, 9, 4, 7, 6, 8, 5, 6, 8, 7, 5, and 9. After finishing her review, Nurse Alex calculates the average credibility score of all the articles she read. What is the average credibility score of the articles she reviewed?
answer:To find the average credibility score of the articles Nurse Alex reviewed, we need to follow these steps:1. Determine the total number of articles read: Nurse Alex reads 5 articles every hour for 3 hours. Therefore, the total number of articles read is: [ 5 , text{articles/hour} times 3 , text{hours} = 15 , text{articles} ]2. List the credibility scores given: The credibility scores for the 15 articles are: 7, 5, 8, 6, 9, 4, 7, 6, 8, 5, 6, 8, 7, 5, 9.3. Calculate the sum of the credibility scores: Add all the scores together: [ 7 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 4 + 7 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 9 ] Breaking this down, we can group and sum: [ (7 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 9) + (4 + 7 + 6 + 8 + 5) + (6 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 9) ] Calculate each group: - First group: (7 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 9 = 35) - Second group: (4 + 7 + 6 + 8 + 5 = 30) - Third group: (6 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 9 = 35) Now, add the sums of the groups: [ 35 + 30 + 35 = 100 ]4. Calculate the average score: Divide the total sum of the scores by the number of articles: [ frac{100}{15} ] Calculate the division: [ frac{100}{15} = 6.6667 ]5. Round the average to a reasonable number of decimal places: In this context, it might be reasonable to round to two decimal places: [ 6.67 ]Thus, the average credibility score of the articles Nurse Alex reviewed is:# 6.67
question:An Australian eco-tour guide named Alex is planning a series of cave expeditions. Each expedition involves a journey through three different caves: Glowworm Cave, Crystal Cave, and Echo Cave. The total distance covered in a single expedition is 12 kilometers. Glowworm Cave is the longest, at 5 kilometers, while Crystal Cave is 2 kilometers shorter than Glowworm Cave. How long is Echo Cave in kilometers?
answer:To solve this problem, we will first determine the lengths of each cave and then calculate the length of Echo Cave.1. Identify Known Values: - Total distance for the expedition: 12 kilometers. - Length of Glowworm Cave: 5 kilometers. - Crystal Cave is 2 kilometers shorter than Glowworm Cave.2. Calculate the Length of Crystal Cave: - Since Crystal Cave is 2 kilometers shorter than Glowworm Cave: [ text{Length of Crystal Cave} = 5 text{ kilometers} - 2 text{ kilometers} = 3 text{ kilometers} ]3. Set up the Equation for Total Distance: - Total distance = Length of Glowworm Cave + Length of Crystal Cave + Length of Echo Cave - Substituting the known lengths: [ 12 text{ kilometers} = 5 text{ kilometers} + 3 text{ kilometers} + text{Length of Echo Cave} ]4. Solve for the Length of Echo Cave: - First, add the lengths of Glowworm Cave and Crystal Cave: [ 5 text{ kilometers} + 3 text{ kilometers} = 8 text{ kilometers} ] - Substitute back into the total distance equation: [ 12 text{ kilometers} = 8 text{ kilometers} + text{Length of Echo Cave} ] - Subtract 8 kilometers from both sides to find the length of Echo Cave: [ text{Length of Echo Cave} = 12 text{ kilometers} - 8 text{ kilometers} = 4 text{ kilometers} ]Thus, the length of Echo Cave is 4 kilometers.# 4
question:Alex is a business development manager who works for a law firm, helping to identify potential clients for the firm's lawyer and tax consultant. In a week, Alex reaches out to 30 potential clients. Of these, 40% are interested in the lawyer's services, and the rest are interested in tax consultation. How many potential clients are interested in the tax consultation services?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine how many potential clients out of the 30 Alex reaches out to are interested in tax consultation services.Step 1: Calculate the number of clients interested in the lawyer's services.- We know that 40% of the potential clients are interested in the lawyer's services.- Calculate 40% of 30: [ 0.40 times 30 = 12 ]So, 12 potential clients are interested in the lawyer's services.Step 2: Determine the number of clients interested in tax consultation services.- The rest of the clients are interested in tax consultation services.- Subtract the number of clients interested in the lawyer's services from the total number of clients:[ 30 - 12 = 18 ]Therefore, 18 potential clients are interested in the tax consultation services.# 18
