Answer:

He gave 8.57 % of his money for his cousin.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the percent that Pedro gave to his cousin, we first need to calculate his total amount, which is given by "x". This is given by:

x = 15 + (x - 15)/5 + 128

x = 15 + x/5 - 3 + 128

x = x/5 + 140

x - x/5 = 140

(5*x - x)/5 = 140

4*x = 700

x = 175

He had originally $175 and gave $15 to his cousing, therefore we can use a rule of three to calculate the percent that he gave to his cousin:

$175 -> 100%

$15 -> y%

175*y = 1500

y = 1500 / 175

y = 8.57 %

A flooring company needs to tile a section of a kitchen that is in the shape of a triangle.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: It is possible to determine the height of the triangle by using the formula of the area of a triangle and creating an equation to find the missing value (height). Also, the value of the height is 7ft

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is found by using both the height and the base of a triangle. Indeed, the general formula for this is A( area) = h (height) x b (base) ÷ 2. Now, this general formula can be used to find any of the values missing if two values are known. This means the height can be calculated using the area and the base. To do this, create a simple equation and solve it. The process is shown below:

1. Write the general equation

A = \frac{h  b}{2}

2. Replace the letters with the values you have

21 =\frac{6b}{2}

3. Find the missing value by moving the values to the other side of the equal symbol (=) and changing its symbol

21 x 2 = 6b   -For example 2 divided 6b but if it is changed to the other side it needs to multiply

42 = 6 b

42 / 6 = b

b = 7

This means the value of the height is 7 ft. If  you want to double-check this, use the original formula:

A = 6 ft x 7 ft / 2

A= 42 ft^{2} / 2

A= 21 ft^{2}

Out of 100 students,15 passed in english, 12 passed in mathematics, 8 in science, 6 in english and mathematics, 7 in mathematics
Lyrx [107]
Because there are 4 students who passed in all subjects, we can say that only 2 students passed in English and Mathematics only, only 3 students passed in Mathematics and Science only, and no one passed in English and Science only.

Given that we have deduced the number of students who passed in two subjects, we can now solve for the number of students who passed only one subject. 
                English = 15 - (4 + 2 + 0) = 9
                Mathematics = 12 - (4 + 3 + 2) = 3
                Science = 8 - (4 + 3 + 0) = 1

1. In English but not in Science,
                    9 + 2 = 11
2. In Mathematics and Science but not in English
                    3 + 3 + 1 = 7
3. In Mathematics only 
                             = 3
3. More than one subject only
                   3 + 4 + 2 + 9 = 18

It will really be helpful if you draw yourself a Venn Diagram for this item.

13.75\ gal

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the difference In the fuel tank of the two cars, subtract the fuel tank capacity of the compact car from the fuel tank capacity of the luxury sedan

so

22.45-8.7=13.75\ gal

Fill in the blank.
natima [27]

The correct answer is: Commutative Property

Further Explanation:

The commutative property states that the order of number doesn't matter and changing the order of numbers or variables will produce the same result.

<u>Commutative Property of Addition:</u>

The Commutative Property of addition means that an expression can be written as a + b = b + a.

<u>Commutative Property of Multiplication:</u>

The Commutative Property of multiplication means that an expression can be written as a • b = b • a

Hence, the correct answer is: Commutative Property

Keywords: Commutative property, addition, multiplication
