Answer:

<em>$120</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the earnings is spent on rent.

The earnings is an unknown, so we call it x.

The rent is $800, so 40% of x equals $800.

40% * x = 800

0.4x = 800

x = 800/0.4

x = 2000

She earns $2000 per month.

After paying rent, the remaining amount is

$2000 - $800 = $1200

She spends 10% of the remaining amount on entertainment.

10% of $1200 = 10% * $1200 = 0.1 * $1200 = $120

(Easy) What changes about a figure after translation in terms of 2D shapes?
Lapatulllka [165]
It really does not change a whole lot, all your doing is moving it, your not adding size or subtracting size or rotating it. Just make all the points of the shape stay the same distance.

I hope this helps.

Write a recursive formula for
algol13

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • a[1] = 3
  • a[n] = a[n-1] -7

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive formula consists of two parts:

  • initialization (rule for the first term(s))
  • rule for the next term

When we look at the differences between terms in the sequence 3, -4, -11, ..., we find that they are constant at -7. That is each term can be found from the previous one by subtracting 7. This is our recursive rule. The first term is obviously 3, so the recursive formula is ...

  a[1] = 3

  a[n] = a[n-1] -7

iogann1982 [59]
Answer: The word "ensures" implies that it is certain.

In the case of the study, they simply found that the average salary is greater for college graduates. This doesn't mean that in every case the college graduate makes more money.

The problem is the word "ensures". Our study doesn't show certainty only a general pattern.
