The given scale for the map means that a distance of 1 cm between two locations on the map corresponds to a real distance between them of 600,000 cm = 6 km.
So, if the distance between two places in reality is 87 km, on the map this would be represented by a distance of 14.5 cm, since
87 = 84 + 3
87 = 6 • 14 + 6 • (1/2)
87 = 6 • (14 + 1/2)
Please, share the goal of the problem. If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?
Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%. Now find 85% of 40 hours:
0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.
Please note that I invented part of this problem. Next time, share all of the info so that someone can help you solve YOUR particular problem.
Answer:
7,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of actual steps is x.
x + x(.05) = 7350 This is actual steps plus the extra 5% equals the number shown on the tracker.
Pull out x
x (1+.05) = 7350
x (1.05) = 7350 Divide by 1.05
(x (1.05))/1.05 = 7350/1.05
x = 7,000
