Answer:
874.6
Step-by-step explanation
Profit = Sales - Costs
Profits by day:
Mon:
225 - (225*0.12) -9 = 189.0
Tue
260 - (260*0.12) -9 = 219.9
Wed
230 - (230*0.12)-9 = 193.4
Thu
180 - (180*0.12) - 9 = 149.4
Fri
150 - (150*0.12) -9 = 123.0
Total:
189+219.9+193.4+149.4+123 = 874.6
They are called relation symbols
they tell how something relates to something else
greater than tells ou that the the result must be more than, but not eqal to that numberd so example, we have to have something that flys higher than that bridge (100ft) but it cannot fly 100 or else it will crash
less than tells you that you must be less than, but not euqal to. example
this thing must be less than 7 feet tall to fit under the doorway, it cannot be 7 feet or else it wont fit
equal to is an exact amount, nothing more or less
we have to have a screw that is this big, nothing more or less
less and greater than is nice since if you found a solution and you wanted to notate it, example
if the naswer is any number less than 10, it would be nicer to write x<10 instead of listing all numbers less than 10 since they could get very close example 9.999999999 forever
greater is the same, any number bigger than 30, you woul dhave to include 30.0000000001 and smaller which is hard, but with the x>30, it is easier
the equals just shows equality, this is equal to this, period
Answer:
39in.
Step-by-step explanation:
due to scale, cant be 15, as that would be the same length as other side
cant be 91 otherwise it wouldnt be similar if it had the same length as blue triangle which has 39 not 15 as the top side
If A is equal to 30, and A+B equals 42. That means B equals 12. So, if the value increased with the same rate of change, it would be 54. This is because 30 plus 12 is 42. 42 plus 12 would equal 54.
When reading a question, you need to be aware of the numbers presented and the facts. You need to pay attention to the question - what, when, where, how, why or how much. What is being asked in the question is always your clue. Unnecessary information will be eliminated once you understand the question.
Simple example from a Business book:
Jessica Fernandez, manager of Subway, had a bank balance of $5382.12 on March 1. During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. She paid out $27,282.75 to suppliers, $4280.83 for rent and utilities, and $12,252.23 for salaries and miscellaneous. How much did Fernandez deposit in March?
Answer:
$60,375.82 (sales) + $3280.18 (credits) + $75.53 (refund) = $63,731.53
Fernandez deposit $63,731.53 in March.
The question immediately lead you to the sentence that is the key to the answer.
It is pretty obvious but try to recognize the important facts from the rest.
The question did not ask about Jessica's balance on March 1 or did not ask about how much she pay out. You can immediately eliminate that those information are not necessary to the problem being asked. The question is how much did she deposit in March. You need to find the sentence that points out the answer - During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. List all the numbers and add them together and you will come up with the figures she deposited. It is just a simple question but it presented the technique for the elimination process of unnecessary facts. It is not "we cannot see the answer" but the truth is we cannot see and understand the question.
