Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, use the equation:

percent of increase=<u>amount of increase</u>

                                     original amount

The amount of increase is 92-80 = 12.  The original amount of 80; this gives us

12/80 = 0.15 = 15%

Which of the following are solutions to 2x2 – 8x - 90? Select all that apply.
Bond [772]

Answer:

x=-5, x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

2x^{2} -8x-90  

equate to zero

2x^{2} -8x-90=0  

so

2=-1\\b=-8\\c=-90

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{-8^{2}-4(2)(-90)}} {2(2)}

x=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{784}} {4}

x=\frac{8\pm28} {4}

x=\frac{8+28} {4}=9

x=\frac{8-28} {4}=-5

therefore

The solutions are x=-5, x=9

A 190-pound man and a 130-pound woman went to Burger King for lunch. The man had a BK Big Fish sandwich (750 Cal), medium french
Savatey [412]

Answer:

2.25 hours for the man and 1.83 hours for the woman.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first find the number of calories consumed by both the man and the woman.

The man's calories are:

750+400+225 = 1375

The woman's calories are:

370+400+0 = 770

The man burns 610 calories per hour.  This means to find the number of hours, we divide the number of calories by the rate burned per hour:

1375/610 = 2.25 hours

The woman burns 770 calories per hour.  This means to find the number of hours, we divide the number of calories by the rate burned per hour:

770/420 = 1.83 hours
