Explanation:

The formula for getting the ROI or Return of Investment is:

ROI=\frac{finalvalue-initialvalue}{initial\text{ value}}\times100

In the problem, the initial value is $15,500 while the final value is $12,500.

Plugging these data into the formula above, we get:

TotalReturn=\frac{12,500-15,500}{15,500}\times100

Then, simplify.

\begin{gathered} TotalReturn=\frac{-3,000}{15,500}\times100 \\ TotalReturn=-0.193548\times100 \\ TotalReturn=-19.3548 \\ TotalReturn\approx-19.4\% \end{gathered}

Answer:

The total return on Jill's investment is -19.4%.

Bonjour à tous, pouvez vous m'aider à trouver la réponse pour cette "question ouverte" svp?
AlekseyPX

La solution:

625 cm^2.

Explication étape par étape:

Si la forme est rectangulaire, elle aura la plus grande superficie possible quand la longueur équivaut à la largeur. Pour avoir un périmètre de 100 cm, cela signifie que chaque côté doit faire 25 cm.

La superficie serait alors de 25 cm x 25 cm = 625 cm^2.

Kelly watches 3/5 of a movie in 5/8 of an hour. How much time wil it take her to watch the entire movie?
iVinArrow [24]

well, putting the movie in fifths, she watched 3/5, the whole movie will be 5/5 = 1.

\begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{movie}{fraction}&hour\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{3}{5}&\frac{5}{8}\\[1em] \underset{whole}{1}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{3}{5}~~}{1}=\cfrac{~~ \frac{5}{8}~~}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}x=\cfrac{5}{8}\implies \cfrac{3x}{5}=\cfrac{5}{8} \\\\\\ 24x=25\implies x = \cfrac{25}{24}\implies x = 1\frac{1}{24}\qquad \textit{1 hour, 2 minutes and 30 seconds}

What is the slope and y intercept of the equation 6x-1 = 3y - 10
Ivan
First, change it into general form(y=my+b).
3y=6x-1+10
3y=6x+9
y=2x+3
So, the slope is 2, and the y-intercept is 3
