$25.90 because if you move the decimal over one place in 18.50 you get 1.85 that is 10% so you take that times four and get $7.50 add that to 18.50 and you get the answer
The vertical asympote is the value of x that makes the denominator equal to zero:
x+5=0
Solving for x:
x+5-5=0-5
x=-5
The vertical asymptote is x=-5
Answer: Option A. x=-5
It can be helpful to remember that "%" is just a shorthand way to write "/100" (divided by 100, or per 100, or per cent). ("Cent" is often used to refer to 100 or 1/100. A "cent" is 1/100 of a dollar, or 1/100 of an acre, for example. A <em>cent</em>ury is 100 years.)
Make the denominator of your fraction be 100. Multiply numerator and denominator by 20/20.
(2/5)×(20/20) = 40/100 = 40%
You can also get there via decimals.
... 2/5 = 0.4 = 0.40 (40 hundredths) = 40/100 (40 hundredths) = 40%
Or, you can multiply by 100%.
... (2/5)×(100%) = (200/5)% = 40%
