To answer this, all you have to do is multiply 90 by 0.7!
so the final answer is 63 games.

Well, first of all, in mathematics, the word "of" represents multiplication. Also, when ever a number has the percentage sign(%). It means it is divided by 100.That is, its denominnator is 100. So in this case, 70% is 70/100.
The questions says they won 70% OF the games. That simply means;
70/100×90
When you calculate that, you will get 63. Which means they won 63 of the games. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.

Answer:

644,262 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a proportion problem, and we are given three values and one variable which is the total number of copies sold to date (x). Then we can use the Rule of Three to solve this problem. To do this we simply multiply the diagonal values and divide by the last value which would give us the value of the variable x

39,300 copies <======> 6.1%

x copies <=======> 100%

(100*39,300) / 6.1 = 644,262 copies

Therefore, a total of 644,262 copies have been sold to date.

Find the Slope:

AveGali [126]

Answer:

4) slope= 0

5) $slope = - \frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{2} - y_1 }{x_2 - x_1} }$

4) Slope

$= \frac{10 - 10}{ - 10 - 3}$

$= \frac{0}{ - 13}$

= 0

The slope is zero as the line is a horizontal line (since both points have the same y-coordinate of 10).

5) Slope

$= \frac{5 - 4}{2 - 9}$

$= \frac{1}{ - 7}$

$= - \frac{1}{7}$

Since you have taken (x₁, y₁) to be (9, 4), the value of x₁ should be 9 instead of 2.

A ship travels 62.5 km in 1st hour of sailing. Starting from 2nd hour, the distance travelled per hour is x% of that in the prec

Bas_tet [7]

Speed of the ship in the second hour = (62.5 * x ) / 100 kph.

In third hour it is [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again so we can now form the equation

62.5x x x
------- * ---- * ---- = 32
100 100 100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 = 512,000
x = 80 <----- Answer to (a)

(b) Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence

Dist travelled in 6 hours = a1 1 - r^n
-------- = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

1 - r

Answer is 230.56 km
