Answer:

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Ed and Sherrie save $90 each pay period from their combined paychecks, which total $1200. What percent do Ed and Sherrie save?

How much of $1200 is $90? $1200 is 100% = 1, $90 = x. So

$1200 - 1

$90 - x

1200x = 90

x = \frac{90}{1200}

x = 0.075

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

You select a card at random from the cards that make up the word “replacement”. Without replacing the card, you choose a second
natta225 [31]
To find the total probability, we first need to solve for the probability of the individual events.

Event 1:
P(consonant)=7/11
We know this to be true because out of the 11 total possibilities for the event, 7 of them are consonants.
R E P L A C E M E N T 


Event 2
P(e)=3/10
We know this to be true because out of the 10 total possibilities for the event (since we didn't replace the first card we withdrew), 3 of them are the letter 'e'.
R E P L A C E M E N T (-1 to account for the first card we withdrew)

The possibility of both events...

P(consonant then 'e')=7/11*3/10=21/110

Answer: P=21/110

Answer:

x=30\ degrees

m

m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

(x-5)+(3x+30)+(35)=180\°

solve for x

4x=180\°-60\°

4x=120\°

x=30\°

PLEASE HELP/ANSWER! From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%. If his weight was k kilograms in 1990, what was it in 198
Elena-2011 [213]

The weight in 1980 is \frac{4k}{5} kilograms

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%

His weight is "k" kilograms in 1990

<em><u>To find: weight in 1980</u></em>

This is a percentage increase problem

Let "x" be the weight in kilograms in 1980

<em><u>The percentage increase is given by formula:</u></em>

\text{Percentage increase } = \frac{\text{Final value - initial value}}{\text{initial value}} \times 100

Here,

Initial value in 1980 = x

Final value in 1990 = k

Percentage increase = 25 %

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula,</u></em>

25 = \frac{k-x}{x} \times 100\\\\25x = 100(k-x)\\\\x = 4(k-x)\\\\x = 4k - 4x\\\\5x = 4k\\\\x = \frac{4k}{5}

Thus the weight in kilograms in 1980 is \frac{4k}{5}
