86 is 45% of what number

1 answer:

4 0

Hello there! We are talking about 86 being part of a number, so we are looking for the whole. To find the number we are looking for, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

86/x = 45/100

86 is 45% of a number. We know the part, so now we are looking for the whole. 45% is part of 100%, so we put that part together. Cross multiply the digits. 100 * 86 is 8,600. 45 * x is 45x. That simplifies to 8,600 = 45x. Now, divide each side by 45 to isolate the x. 45x/45 cancels out. 8,600/45 is 191.1111111 or 191 1/9 in fraction form. There. x = 191 1/9 86 is 45% or 191 1/9

Note: Or, if you have to round to the nearest whole number, the answer is 191, or if you have to round to the nearest tenth, the answer is 191.1. It all depends on if the answer needs to be rounded or exact.

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The independent variable is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The dependent variable it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

Can someone help me with please??

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The angle is 35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the two remaining angles must be the same. Set those angles equal to x. Now, we can solve for x by adding those two angles to the third angle and setting equal to 180.

x + x + 110 = 180

2x + 110 = 180

2x = 70

x = 35
