Answer:
The % increase is 7.179 but see the remark I made below. What I have given and what it could be is a rounding error. Less than 2 dollars error is not much when you are calculating something for someone just to show them how to do it.
Step-by-step explanation:
242,555 * x/100 = 259,970 Multiply by 100
242,555 * x = 259970 * 100
242,555 * x = 25997000 Divide by 242555
x = 24997000/242444
x = 107.179
That's the total increase.
What you want is 7.179%
If you take 7.179% of 242,555 and add it onto 242555 you should get 259,970
7.1797/100 * 242555 = 17413.02
17413.02 + 242555 = 259968.02
Why isn't it exact. I'm out just about 2 whole dollars. The reason is that the % isn't exact. It's only out to 3 decimal places which apparently is not enough. You can go over my numbers if you want more exactness us use something that is rounded to 7.180 if you like.
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of plastic cups = 24
No. of straws =20
We need to find the smallest number of each that could be bought so that you had the same amount of cups and straws.
Prime factrisation of 24 = 2×3×2×2
Prime factorisation of 20 = 2×5×2
LCM = 120
Hence, the smallest number of each type will be 120.
Using a system of equations, it is found that Peter had $48 at first.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Peter's money.
- Variable y: Henry's money.
The ratio of peters money to henrys money is 4 : 3, hence:

After Peter spent $12, they had the same amount, hence:
y = x - 12.
Then, replacing in the ratio:


4(x - 12) = 3x
x = 48.

Hi! :)
The radius of a circle is the length from the perimeter of the circle to the center of the circle.
If 24 inches is still 9 inches from the center, you just have to add 24 and 9 to get the radius.
24+9= 33
Your final answer should be that the radius is 33 inches.
Hope this helps!
