A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27 because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?
Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.
364 = 1.40x
Solving for x gives x = 260.
Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.
Answer:
L=21.6in and w=13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length is 8 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width w+ 8
Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+8)
W
----------
| |
| |
| | L = w+8

-----------
A = (w+8)(w)
A = w2 + 8w = 295.
(Problem states that area is 295 sq in)
Need to solve this quadratic equation
w2 +8y - 295 = 0
Factor:
(w - 13.64) (w + 21.64) = 0
So
w - 13.64 = 0. or. w + 21.64= 0
Solve these and get
w = 13.64. or. w = -21.64
Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.
So the dimensions are
Width = 13.64 inches
Length = 21.64 inches
First one= x=5
second one= x=1/30 or 0.03 or 30^-1
third one= All real numbers or R
fourth one= No solution
Fifth one= All real numbers or R
Sixth one= p=-10/3 or -3 1/3 or -3.3
R is just the symbol for all real numbers. Also know as infinitely many solutions.
Hope this helps ! :) have a good day! Make sure you eat.
Answer:
from the picture the answer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
to find x subtract 18x from 4x which will give you -14x=-36
divide both sides by -14
