To find the original amount, you divide the product by the percentage.
112.79 / 0.15 ≈ 751.933 (the 3's repeat infinitely).
To check your answer, multiply 751.933 by 0.15.
751.933 * 0.15 = 112.78995 ≈ 112.79
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x=24
Answer <u>(assuming it is allowed to be in point-slope format)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, determine the slope. We know it has to be perpendicular to the given equation, 
. That equation is already in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format, in which m represents the slope. Since 
is in place of the m in the equation, that must be the slope of the given line.
Slopes that are perpendicular are opposite reciprocals of each other (they have different signs, and the denominators and numerators switch places). Thus, the slope of the new line must be 
.
2) Now, use the point-slope formula, 
to write the new equation with the given information. Substitute 
, 
, and 
for real values.
The represents the slope, so substitute in its place. The and represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. Since the point crosses (1,4), substitute 1 for and 4 for . This gives the following equation and answer:
Space is a way of joining together points, lines and...
