It depends on what you are trying to calculate but the most common way I go to find percentage is to multiply by the number in decimal for ie. 50% = .5.

If you are looking for a way to do it quickly in your head I always take find out what 10% is like in the case of 100 it would be 10 so if I want to find 15% I know I can find 10% and if I cut what 10% is in half I will find 5% so likewise if I add what 10%+5% I will end up with 15%. For example, 10% of 100 is 10 half of 10 is 5 and 10+5 equals 15. If you need to find something like 20% or 30% I know that I can find 10% and instead of dividing(cutting it in half) I can multiply by 2 or 3. 10% + 10% =20%

I hope it helps, if you have more questions let me know!

If L || m, solve for x (9x+2) 119

algol13

Answer:

13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x+2) 119 to solve for x you need to isolate it so subtract 119 so the equation would look like this (9x+2) = -119. Once you do that you are going to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation (9x)= -121. And now you divide by 9 and you have your answer x= 13.4.

A stereo system is being installed in a room with a rectangular floor measuring 19 feet by 12 feet and a 7-foot ceiling. The st

Answer:

The shortest length of wire that can be used is 29.47 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can follow the following steps:

1) We have the dimensions of the floor of the room. The shortest distance between its opposite corners is the diagonal. We calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.

$L = \sqrt{12^2 + 19^2}\\\\L= 22.47\ ft$

2) Since the speaker is on the ceiling, and the amplifier is on the floor, then 7 more feet of wire is needed to reach the speaker. <em>Observe the attached image</em>

3) The final distance (d) is:

$d = 22.47\ ft + 7\ ft\\\\d = 29.47\ ft$
