Answer

A

Step-by-step solution

10 steps

1.
Solve: 7−2x≥15−4x7 - 2x \ge 15 - 4x.

  1. Collect xx terms on one side and constant terms on the other.

    7−2x≥15−4x7 - 2x \ge 15 - 4x

    Add 4x4x to both sides:

    7−2x+4x≥157 - 2x + 4x \ge 15 7+2x≥157 + 2x \ge 15

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    2x≥15−72x \ge 15 - 7 2x≥82x \ge 8
  2. Isolate xx.

    Divide by 2:

    x≥82x \ge \frac{8}{2} x≥4x \ge 4

    The correct option is A.
    The solution is x≥4\boxed{x \ge 4}.

    2.
    Evaluate p2(q−1)p^2(q-1) when p=2p=2 and q=34q=\frac{3}{4}.

  3. Substitute the given values of pp and qq into the expression.

    p2(q−1)=(2)2(34−1)p^2(q-1) = (2)^2\left(\frac{3}{4}-1\right)
  4. Simplify the expression.

    (2)2(34−1)=4(34−44)(2)^2\left(\frac{3}{4}-1\right) = 4\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{4}\right) =4(−14)= 4\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)
  5. Perform the multiplication.

    =−1= -1

    The correct option is C.
    The value is −1\boxed{-1}.

    3.
    Antwi has 20 mangoes and 20% are rotten. How many of them are not rotten?

  6. Calculate the number of rotten mangoes.

    Number of rotten mangoes = 20%20\% of 20

    =20100×20= \frac{20}{100} \times 20 =15×20= \frac{1}{5} \times 20 =4= 4
  7. Calculate the number of mangoes that are not rotten.

    Number of not rotten mangoes = Total mangoes - Number of rotten mangoes

    =20−4= 20 - 4 =16= 16

    The correct option is A.
    The number of mangoes that are not rotten is 16\boxed{16}.

    4.
    Which of the following is not a composite number?
    A. 65
    B. 39
    C. 41
    D. 24

    A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself. A prime number has only two divisors: 1 and itself.

  8. Check each option to determine if it is composite or prime.

    • A. 65=5×1365 = 5 \times 13. Since 65 has factors other than 1 and 65 (e.g., 5 and 13), it is a composite number.
    • B. 39=3×1339 = 3 \times 13. Since 39 has factors other than 1 and 39 (e.g., 3 and 13), it is a composite number.
    • C. 41. The only positive divisors of 41 are 1 and 41. Therefore, 41 is a prime number, not a composite number.
    • D. 24=2×12=3×8=4×624 = 2 \times 12 = 3 \times 8 = 4 \times 6. Since 24 has factors other than 1 and 24, it is a composite number.

    The number that is not a composite number is 41.
    The correct option is C.
    The number that is not a composite number is 41\boxed{41}.

    5.
    Mary receives a commission of 15% on articles sold in a week. If her commission was GH¢ 60.00, how much sales did she make?

  9. Set up the equation for commission.

    Let SS be the total sales.
    Commission = 15%15\% of SS

    GH¢ 60.00=15100×S\text{GH¢ } 60.00 = \frac{15}{100} \times S
  10. Solve for SS.

    60=15100S60 = \frac{15}{100} S

    Multiply both sides by 100:

    60×100=15S60 \times 100 = 15 S 6000=15S6000 = 15 S

    Divide by 15:

    S=600015S = \frac{6000}{15} S=400S = 400

    The correct option is B.
    Mary's total sales were GH¢ 400.00\boxed{\text{GH¢ } 400.00}.
