Maya has 120 caramel apples to sell. Each caramel apple is covered with one topping. 1/5 of caramel apples are covered with peanuts. 1/3 are covered with chocolate chips. 3/10 are covered with coconut. The rest are covered with sprinkles. How many caramel apples are covered with sprinkles

20 caramel apples are covered with sprinkles

Step-by-step explanation:

Maya has 120 caramel apples to sell. Each caramel apple is covered with one topping. 1/5 of caramel apples are covered with peanuts. 1/3 are covered with chocolate chips. 3/10 are covered with coconut. The rest are covered with sprinkles.

Let the Total fraction of caramel apples = 1

1 = 1/5 + 1/3 + 3/10 + caramel apples covered in sprinkles

Fraction of caramel apples covered in sprinkles = 1 - (1/5 + 1/3 + 3/10 )

LCM of denominator = 30

= 1 - (6 + 10 + 9/30)

= 1 - 25/30

= 5/30

= 1/6

How many caramel apples are covered with sprinkles

This is calculated as :

Fraction of caramel apples covered in sprinkles × Total number of caramel apples

= 1/6 × 120

= 20 caramel apples covered in sprinkles.

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1
