27 is 144 percent of what. Let the what be x.
27 = 144% of x
27 = (144/100)x
(144/100)x = 27
1.44x = 27 Divide through
x = 27/1.44 Use your calculator
x = 18.75
Therefore 27 is 144 percent of 18.75
A^2-8a-48=0
factor
(a+4)(a-12)=0
set each equal to 0
a+4=0 a-12=0
a=-4,12
Original height of tree = (x+5) m
In triangle ABC x square = 5 square + 12 square
X square = 25+144
X square = 169
X = 13
Thus the original height of the tree was 13+15 = 18m
Answer in fraction form is exactly 2/27
Answer in decimal form is approximately 0.07407
========================================================
Explanation:
4 people play both,9 play flat flute only, 12 play piano only.
So 4+9+12 = 13+12 = 25 people play one instrument only or they play both.
We have 27 people total meaning that 27-25 = 2 play neither instrument.
Divide the values 2 and 27 to get
2/27 = 0.07407
this value is approximate (rounded to five decimal places)
Answer:
I'd use A = πr^2
The area is 28.3 if we're using 3.14 as pi (rounded to the nearest tenth)
