Let total number of people be x
Therefore, 4/5 of x = 20
4/5*x = 20
x = 20*5/4
x = 5*5
x = 25

Write an equation that you can use to find the value of x.

MariettaO [177]

Line CA is a straight line, meaning it adds up to 180°

Line BE splits the line into two supplementary angles, because when the two angles are added together they will equal 180°

Using the rule of supplementary angles, we can then make the equation 3x + 8x + 15 = 180

Now, simplify the equation by combining like terms

11x + 15 = 180

To solve, isolate x

11x + 15 = 180
11x = 165
x = 15

Find the radius of a circle using the Pythagorean theorem, given that the center is at (1, 5) and the point (5, 1) lies on the c

Assoli18 [71]

Given :

Center of circle, C = ( 1 , 5 )

Point on circle, P = ( 5 , 1 )

To Find :

The radius of a circle.

Solution :

We know, radius of circle is the distance between center and point of circle.

Distance between two points A(p,q) and B(r,s) is given by :

$D = \sqrt{(p-r)^2+(q-s)^2}$

So, distance between the points (1, 5) and (5, 1) is :

$D = \sqrt{(1-5)^2+(5-1)^2}\\\\D = 5.66 \ units$

Therefore, radius of circle is 5.66 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.

You went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items. How much is the final bill if you apply

Alina [70]

We have been given that you went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items.

Let us find the amount of taxable items by subtracting amount of non-taxable items from total bill.

$\text{Amount of taxable items}=\$75-\$45.50$

$\text{Amount of taxable items}=\$29.50$

We have been given that the rate of tax is 7.5% to the taxable items. To find the amount of tax, we will find 7.5% of $29.50.

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$25.50\times \frac{7.5}{100}$

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$25.50\times 0.075$

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$2.2125$

Final amount of bill would be amount of bill plus amount of tax.

$\text{Final amount of bill}=\$75+\$2.2125$

$\text{Final amount of bill}=\$77.2125$

Therefore, final amount of bill would be $\$77.2125$ .
