Well 24000 divided by 3 is 8000 so that is how much they each put in, then they lost a total of 4500 which divided is 1500 so each they went down to 6500 invested.

Answer:

$1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Brian, Steve, and Rita invested a total of $24,000 in a business. Unfortunately, in the first quarter they suffered a loss of $4,500,which they shared equally.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total loss by 3 as there are 3 persons in all.

\text{Each individual's investment changed due to the loss}=\frac{\$4500}{3}

\text{Each individual's investment changed due to the loss}=\$1500

Therefore, each individual's investment changed due to the loss by $1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (2+4+1)/9 = 7/9

2. 2 1/3 + 2/3 = 2 + (1+2)/3 = 2 + 3/3 = 2+1 = 3

3. 1 1/5 + 2 3/5 = 1+2 + 1/5 + 3/5 = 3 + (1+3)/5 =

3 4/5

4. 5/6 + 2/10 + 1/5 = 5/6 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 5/6 + 2/5

= (5×5)/(6×5) + (2×6)/(5×6)

= 25/30 + 12/30

= (25+12)/30

= 37/30 = 1 7/30

5. 3 1/2 + 4 2/3

= 3+4 + 1/2 + 2/3

= 7 + (1×3)/(2×3) + (2×2)/(3×2)

= 7 + 3/6 + 4/6

= 7 + (3+4)/6 = 7 7/6 = 8 1/6

6. 9/13 - 5/13 = (9-5)/13 = 4/13

7. 7 6/8 - 5 2/8

= (7-5) + (6/8 - 2/8)

= 2 + 4/8

= 2 1/2

8. 2/3 - 3/7

= (2×7)/(3×7) - (3×3)/(7×3)

= 14/21 - 9/21 = (14-9)/21 = 5/21

9. 11 1/5 - 5 4/5

= 10 6/5 - 5 4/5

= (10-5) + (6/5 - 4/5)

= 5 + 2/5 = 5 2/5

10. 15 4/5 - 7 7/10

= (15-7) + (4/5 - 7/10)

= 8 + (4×2)/(5×2) - 7/10

= 8 + 8/10 - 7/10

= 8 + 1/10

= 8 1/10

Sandra is a real estate agent and rams 5000 commission on the selling of a 62,000 house. what is the percent of commission she r
sveta [45]
To find a percent, you use this simple formula:
5000/62000 = x/100

In this case, x is going to be your percent of commission.

So, to find this, you first divide 5000 by 62000, which is about equal to 0.08.

Now your equation looks like this:
0.08 = x/100

Next, you multiply both sides by 100 to reverse the operation. Now, your equation will look like this:

8 = x

So, the answer is 8%.

Can someone help me??
Allushta [10]

Answer:

67.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The piece that isn't marked with xs is 90 degrees marked by the square symbol representing a right angle.

Full circle = 360 degrees

360 degrees - 90 degrees = 270 degrees

Now, if we add all the like terms we have 4 x's in total. This is becauswe 3x + another x = 4x.

So, we need to divide 270 by 4. We get 67.5 degrees.

Hope this helps!
