Answer:

$18.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the mechanics earn $14.2 per hour, which is 25.1% less than before.

If we say that the earnings before were 100% (to facilitate our calculation and understand better), now the earrings are (100-25.1)%=74.9%. This is, now they make the 74.9% of what they used to made.

So:

74.9% = 14.2

Let's multiply both sides by 100%/74.9% to make a 100% appear at the left side (see that multiply and divide by 74.9 will make it desapear):

74.9% *(100%/74.9%) = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)

100% = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)

And (100%/74.9%) is equal to 1/0.749, they are the same. So:

100% = 14.2 * 1/0.749

100% = 18.96

So, before the new manager they used to make $18.96. (you can verify by multiplying it by 74.9% and the result is 14.2)

Select the reason why these triangles are
Elden [556K]

Answer:

B. SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given diagram, it would be observed that each side of the bigger triangle are multiplied by a factor of \frac{1}{3} to give the values of each corresponding sides of the smaller triangle. But the included angle of the two triangles are the same.

Therefore, the reason why the triangles are similar is because of side-angle-side (SAS) relations. The correct option is B.

Solve each equation.<br> 1. 25 - 3x = 40<br> 2. } (x – 10) = -4
nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

For no 1

<em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>3</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em>Now </em><em>for </em><em>no. </em><em> </em><em>2</em>

<em>1</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em>

<em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em>

<em>Hope </em><em>it </em><em>will </em><em>help </em><em>:</em><em>)</em>

This is the graph of f(x). What is the value of f(3)?
Paul [167]

Answer:

The value of f(3) is 8 ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the function f(x) = y, y is the corresponding value of x
  • Ex: If f(a) = b, then the value of y = b at x = a

Let us solve the question

∵ The given figure represents the function f(x)

→ That means every point on the graph represents f(x) = y

∴ f(x) = y

∵ We need to find f(3)

→ That means we need the value of y at x = 3

∴ x = 3

Look at the graph and find the y-coordinate of the point that lies on the curve and has x-coordinate = 3

→ Each small square on the x-axis represents 1 unit, and on the y-axis

   represents 2 units

∵ There is a point on the graph that has x-coordinate = 3

∵ The y-coordinate of this point is 8

∴ The point (3, 8) lies on the graph of f(x)

∴ x = 3 and y = 8

∴ f(3) = 8

∴ The value of f(3) is 8
