To find the percentage you have to divide the part over the whole then multiply by 1000, in this example we want to find out the percentage corresponding to the defective pens.
No. Defective pens= 50
No. Pens = 1000
^ this means all pens defective and none defective since we went to see what proportion they make out of the WHOLE

part / whole *100= defective pens%

50/1000 * 100 = defective pens%
Defective pens = 5%

So, 5% of all pens in that factory are defective.

What is the volume of this pyramid? • 7560 cm³ • 5040 cm³ • 2520 cm³ • 1728 cm³

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Volume = 2520 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid = 1/3 * area of the base * height.

The base of this pyramid is a triangle and its area

= 1/2 * 18 * 24 cm^2 so the volume of the pyramid is:

1/3 * 1/2 * 18 * 24 * 35

= 2520 cm^3.

What is the missing constant term in the perfect square that starts with x2 – 12x ?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

x^2 -12x+36

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 12x

Take the coefficient of x

-12

Divide by 2

-12/2 = 6

Square it

6^2 = 36

We need to add 36 to make x^2 -12x a perfect square trinomial

x^2 -12x+36

If Sin 3x= Cos (x-60), find the value of x

Kamila [148]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming 3x and x-60 are in degrees, you can use:

cos(a) = sin(a+90)

To rewrite the equation as:

sin(3x) = sin(x-60+90)

sin(3x) = sin(x+30)

3x = x+30

2x = 30

x = 15

But, solving 3x = x+30 which simplifies to x=15 is not the only solution to this equation, as you can see in below picture. Finding all solutions is a bit more work, but maybe that is not required in your case.
