Answer:

12 years = 16 USD

15 years = 20 USD  

Step-by-step explanation:

15 years =72:4= 18 we round to 20 for 15 years

12 years = 20+20 = 40  

72-40 = 32 : 2 = 16 USD for 12 years

Answer:

girl aged 12 years received $32

girl aged 15 years received $ 40

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add ages together 12 + 15 = (27)

2. use your answer 27 , as your denominator

to those ages , and multiply them with $72

\frac{12}{27}  \times 72 = 32 \\   \\  \\  \frac{15}{27 }  \times 72 = 40 \\  \\  \\  \\ 32  + 40 = 72

OR

girl aged 12 years old (a) 12÷27× $72

= $32

girl aged 15 years old (b) 15÷27×$72

= $40

(here's a proof $32 + $40)

Find the value of x - Secant and Tangent Angles in Circles
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

  C.  70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle marked 15° intercepts an arc that is double that measure, so the intercepted arc on the right is 2×15° = 30°.

The external angle marked 20° is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, so is ...

  20° = (1/2)(x - 30°)

  40° = x - 30° . . . . . . multiply by 2

  70° = x . . . . . . . . . . . add 30°

The value of x is 70°.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many seats there were, multiply the number of rows with the number of seats in each row:

From these total seats, there are 28 empty seats, meaning:

360 - 28 = 332

There were 332 people.
