Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what percent of 120 15 is, we must find what 15/120 is.

15/120 = 0.125. To convert to a percent, we move the decimal two places to the right. So, the answer is 12.5%.

Answer:

33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the percent change is x%. Then the equation is:

30 + x% * 30 = 40

Subtract 30 from both sides:

x% * 30 = 10

Divide by 30:

x% = 10/30 = 1/3

Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so:

x/100 = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 100:

x = (1/3) * 100 = 33.3%

Alika [10]

Given:

The expression is $5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$ .

To find:

The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

$5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$

Now,

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=9\times 2+6-4-1$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+6-5$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+1$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=19$

There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.

$5+4*\left(2+6\right)-2*2-1=32\neq 19$

$5+4*2+\left(6-2\right)*2-1=20\neq 19$

$5+4*2+6-2*\left(2-1\right)=17\neq 19$

And many more possibilities.

Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is $(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$ .

Solve: (a)(9a + 4) = 0.

Monica [59]

Answer:

a = -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

(9a + 4) = 0

Subtract 4 from each side

9a + 4-4 = 0-4

9a = -4

Divide each side by 9

9a/9 = -4/9

a = -4/9
