Answer:X=-15
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x/5=12
5x-4x/5=5x12
-4x=5x12
-4x=60
-4x/-4=60/-4
x=-15
Well, if he sold 17 of them for $18, 17 times 18 = $306. Now he has 31 backpacks left. 31 times 25 = $775. 775 + 306= $1081 (final answer) Hope it helps!!!
<span>If you know the Linear pair Theorem, the converse can be easily obtained by switching the condition and the conclusion.
For example,
If it is raining, then the outside is wet.
Converse: If the outside is wet, then it is raining. (It is not always true.)</span>
Answer:
a) 2,650%
b) 27,400%
c) 164,900%
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to measure the percentage we would have to increase the typical value to obtain the values given in a), b) and c).
But 0.2 increased in x% equals
0.2 + 0.2(x/100) =0.2(1+x/100)
So, if we want to increase 0.2 in x%, we must multiply it by (1+x/100)
a)
We need to find the value of x such that
0.2(1+x/100) = 5.5 ⇒ (1+x/100)=5.5/0.2 ⇒ 1+x/100=27.5
⇒ x/100=26.5 ⇒ x=2,650%
b)
0.2(1+x/100) = 55 ⇒ (1+x/100)=55/0.2 ⇒ 1+x/100=275
⇒ x/100=274 ⇒ x=27,400%
c)
5.5 min = 5.5*60 s = 330
0.2(1+x/100) = 330 ⇒ (1+x/100)=330/0.2 ⇒ 1+x/100=1,650
⇒ x/100=1,649 ⇒ x=164,900%
