17 ½ % of 240
First option
Change the fraction ½
to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)
½=0.5
You will add the whole number 17 to the result.
17 + 05 = 17.5
Now you will divide by 100 (percent)
17.5 /100 To divide a
decimal by 100, move the decimal point two
places to the left.
17.5 /100 = 0.175 times 240
0.175 x 240 = 42
Second option
Change the percent to an improper fraction
17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35
over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2. Put the other number (240) over 100 and
multiply.
35/2 x 240/100 = 42
There is another way . You can simplify
Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

Answer:
x³ - 10x² + 31x - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 2)(x - 3)(x - 5) ← expand the second pair of factors using FOIL
= (x - 2)(x² - 8x + 15) ← distribute
= x³ - 8x² + 15x - 2x² + 16x - 30 ← collect like terms
= x³ - 10x² + 31x - 30
800 + 16x = 720 + 21x. Cancel out the 720 to get 80 + 16x = 21x. Subtract 16x from both sides to get 80 = 5x. Divide by 5 to get 16 = x, or x = 16. 16 hours. The charge is 800 + 16(16), = 720 + 21(16) which = 800 + 256 = 720 + 336 which = 1,056 = 1,056. Hope this helped!

Answer:
36years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let charity present age be x
Charity daughter present age be y
Charity husband present age be z
If the sum of their ages ten years to come is 117, then;
10+x+10+y+10+z = 117
30+x+y+z = 117
x+y+z = 87 ... 1
If charity is four times as old as her daughter, then;
x = 4y
y = x/4 ... 2
If she is also six years younger than her husband, then;
x = z- 6
z = x+6 .. 3
Substitute 2 and 3 into 1;
x + x/4 + (x+6) = 87
Multiply through by 4
4x + x + 4(x+6) = 4(87)
5x+4x+24 = 348
9x = 348 - 24
9x = 324
x = 324/9
x = 36
hence Charity is 36years old today
