Answer:
30%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage loss is calculated as
× 100%
loss = 50000 - 35000 = 15000, thus
percent loss =
× 100% = 30%
The answer is: 36 in total
Answer:
y=-
x+
Step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(2-(-4))/(-2-1)
=6/-3
=-2
in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b
use the point (1, -4) to find b
-4=(2)(1)+b
-4=2+b
b=-6
the first equation of the line is y=2x-6
to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y
0=2x-6
2x=6
x=3
the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2
for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b
y=mx+b
0=(-1/2)(3)+b
b=3/2
thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-
x+3/2
Answer:
492.99
Step-by-step explanation: x = amount invested at 12%
y = amount invested at 9%
---
x + y = 20287
0.12x = 0.09y + 492.99
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 20287
0.12x - 0.09y = 492.99
