A 50% increase is just taking the original amount and adding half of that towards the amount.

Example : 50% of 100 is 50 so a 50% increase to 100 would be 150

a formula for this would be X + (1/2×X) = Y

in your case we're working backwards with the known being 60

We can just plug in reasonable values for X until we get 60

50% of 40 is 20

40 + 20 = 60

so the original amount was 40

A small college needs two additional faculty members: a chemist and a statistician. There are five applicants for the chemistry
Mrac [35]

Answer:

15 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The events "choosing one out of 5 chemists" and "choosing one out of 3 statisticians" are independent, and, therefore, the number of ways that both positions can be filled is determined by the product of the number of ways that each event can occur:

n=3*5 =15\ ways

The college can fill these positions in 15 different ways.

What is the height of this triangle between C and D
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any side length of a right triangle given two side lengths, you would use the pythagorean theorem which is a² + b² = c². In this equation, a and b represents either the height of base of the triangle, and c represents the  hypotenuse of the triangle (the diagonal line - in your question it is 13). By plugging in the base and  hypotenuse, you get the equation of 5² + b² = 13². 5² is equal to 25 and 13² is equal to 169, so the equation is 25 + b² = 169. Subtract 25 for both sides of the equation and you find that b² = 144. Square both sides and the missing length is 12 because √144 = 12.
