What percent of 130 is 52
zheka24 [161]
To find percentages, simply take the number that is not the "100%" number and divide it by the other number. 

in this case, 

52 / 130

complicated way of figuring it out if it makes more sense for you, 

find how much is 1% of 130

130/100= 1.3

1% of 130 = 1.3 

and then you just take 52 / 1.3

feel free to comment any questions on how to figure out future problems

The value of a book is $150 and decreases at a rate of 4% per year. Find the value of the book after 12 years
nevsk [136]
If it decreases at 4% every year, then its value becomes:

100% - 4% = 96% = 96/100 = 0.96

At the end of the 1 year its value becomes:  150*(0.96)

At the end of the 2 years its value becomes:  150*(0.96)*(0.96) = 150*(0.96)²

At the end of the 3 years its value becomes:  150*(0.96)*(0.96)*(0.96) = 150(0.96)³

So similarly at the end of 12 years, its value becomes 150*(0.96)¹²

=50*(0.96)¹²    simplify with calculator.

<span>≈ 91.91

Value at the end of 12 years becomes ≈ $</span><span>91.91

I hope this helps.

The local cable company charges $90 per month for basic and $12 per month for each additional premium cable channel.The function
Alika [10]

Answer:

2 additional premium channels

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given function, we substitute c(x) = 114 and solve for x:

114 =90 + 12x

Subtract 90 from both sides:

24=12x

Divide both sides by 12:

2=x

So you have ordered 2 additional premium channels.
