For this case we must find 35% of 280.
Kerrie gets 10% and then 25%. So:
10% of 280:
280 ------------> 100%
x -----------------> 10%
Where "x" represents the amount given by 10% of 280.

Thus, 10% of 280 is 28.
Now, we find 25% of 280:
280 ------------> 100%
x -----------------> 25%
Where "x" represents the amount given by 25% of 280.

Thus, 25% of 280 is 70.
So we have that 35% of 280 is given by:

So, Kerrie's solution is correct.
Answer:
Option A
3x - x + 8 + 5x - 2 = 10
combine like terms on the left, then add or subtract as asked
(3x - x + 5x) + (8 - 2) = 10
7x + 6 = 10
subtract 6 from both sides
7x = 4
divide both sides by 7
x = 4/7

A rectangular floor covered without overlaps or gaps by 7 identical tiles, each of the length l and with w. If the w=12 ft, what is the total area of the floor?
Answer:
Slope=-2/3, y-intercept=2, x-intercept=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the independent variable be x and dependent variable be y
y=h(x)
h is a linear function so it is represented in the general form of y=mx+c where
m is slope and c is the y-intercept.
Given "the dependent variable decreases 2 units for every 3 units the independent variable increases."
When x increases by 3, y decreases by 2
So the slope = rate of change of y / rate of change of x = -2/3
Given h(0)=2, h(0)=m(0)+c=2
c=2
Combining slope and y-intercept, y=-2/3*x+2
x-intercept is when y=0
0=-2/3*x+2
2/3*x=2
x=2*3/2=3
x-intercept=3
Answer:
Stefan originally paid $120 for the bicycle and helmet.
He made $72 by selling them to Jin.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Selling price of bicycle = $176
Selling price of helmet = $16
Total price = 176+16 = $192
This is 160% of what Stefan paid originally.
Let,
x be the original amount paid by Stefan.
160% of x = 192

Dividing both sides by 1.6

Original amount paid by Stefan = $120
Profit = 192 - 120 = $72
Hence
Stefan originally paid $120 for the bicycle and helmet.
He made $72 by selling them to Jin.
