A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 2 ¼ cups of flour to yield 36 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies using the same recipe?

We need to find the value of x from the given equation. First, we move the value of 10 to the right-hand side of the equation.

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

,   a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=12, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -1 or 2.

Let x be the employee's salary before the raise. The employee received a 20% raise, so the new salary is:

x+0.2x=60,000

Step 1: Factor out x

1.2x=60,000

Step 2: Solve for x

x=60,000/1.2=50,000

We need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.

Monday’s price was $50.33

Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68

Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61

Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36

Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.

The slope represent the ratio between the vertical height to the horizontal length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a proportion with height on the numerator and length on denominator. Then,

Cross-multiply to find the value of x

Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed is 30 feet to access to a door that is 2.5 feet above the sidewalk.

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[2(3+5*3)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 5*3=15. The expression becomes

[2(3+15)]

Then, we conduct the addition of 3+15=18. Then, the expression yields

[2(18)]=2*18=36

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 12/2=6.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.

Percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. The given percent is divided by 100. To convert it to a decimal form, we move the decimal point two points to the left from the current position. Thus

The decimal form of 87.5% is 0.875.

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

In this problem, we need to compare the number of dimes to quarters.

If we let n be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 2n

Number of nickels in the bottle = 4n

Number of dimes in the bottle =5(4n)=20n

Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 10 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.

To calculate the percentage increase in client volume, use the formula:

PercentageIncrease×100

Step 1: Identify values

• Old Value (Year 1): 841 clients
• New Value (Year 2): 1,072 clients

Step 2: Compute the increase

1,072−841=231

Step 3: Calculate the percentage increase

×100 ≈ 27.47%

Step 4: Choose the closest answer

The closest option is 27%.

We are asked to convert kg to pounds using the given relation. Letting x to represent the lb we are looking for.

Nest, we set the proportion with kg in the numerator and lb on the denominator as follows.

We find the value of x by cross-multiplication

The value of x is 110 lb.
