240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

Mathematics
1 answer:
Doss [256]3 years ago
7 0
Hello!

"Decrease" means to take away, so subtraction would be used here.

We must find out 15% of 240 is, and to do that we will convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, and then multiply the decimal by 240.

^ I know, that's probably a lot to take in at once! :D

15% ÷ 100 = 0.15

240 × 0.15 = 36

Now that we know what 15% is, we must subtract it:

240 - 36 = 204

Final Answer:

204 is the total amount after a 15% decrease.

Two numbers, a and b, are stored in one byte floating point notation using the least significant (rightmost) 3 bits for the expo
ehidna [41]

a=00110111 = 00110_2 \times 2^{111_2} = 6 \times 2^{-1} = 3


b=11011000 =  11011_2 \times 2^{000_2} = -(0100_2 + 1) =-(4+1)=-5


a+b=-2 = -1 \times 2^{001} = -2 \times 2^{0} = -4 \times 2^{-1} etc.


a+b=-2 = 11111001 = 11110000 = 11100111 = ...


Hard to select the correct answers without seeing the choices. Let's check a couple,


11111001 = -(00000+1) \times 2^{1} = -2 \quad\checkmark


11110000 = -(00001 + 1) \times 2^{0} = -2 \quad\checkmark


11100111 = -(00011 + 1) \times 2^{-1} = -4/2= -2 \quad\checkmark

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1 what is f(-2)?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-2) means that -2 is going to be our input in this function.

To solve this, simply substitute -2 for x in the expression given.

If f(x) = 3x+1, then f(-2) = 3(-2) + 1

3(-2)+1 = -6+1 = -5

Hope this helped!

hammer [34]

In this question there are several important information's provided. Using these information's it is easy to get the answer to the question asked. Firstly it is already informed that the insurance agent gets a commission of 15% of the policy price for every policy sold. The agent sells a policy of $300.

Now we can write the equation as:

15% of $300 = [(15/100) * 300] dollars

                    = ( 15 * 3) dollars

                    = 45 dollars

So the agent gets a commission of $45 for selling a policy worth $300

Where are the asymptotes of f(x) = tan (4x-pi) from x=0 to x= pi/2
professor190 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the asymptotes of f(x) :

(4x-π) = π/2

4x = 3π/2 => x = 3π/8

(4x-π) = 3π/2

4x=5π/2 => x = 5π/8

the answer is

D. X= 3pi/8, x=5pi/8
