16 = 2/5
16 ÷ 2 = 2/5 ÷ 2/1
8 = 1/5
8 * 5 = 1/5 * 5
40 = 5/5
You started the party with 40 brownies

Let

x--------> total number of brownies made for the party

we know that

$\frac{2}{5}x=16$

Solve for x

$\frac{2}{5}x=16\\ \\2x=5*16\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40\ brownies$

therefore

the answer is

$40\ brownies$

Find a cartesian equation for the curve and identify it. r = 10 tan(θ) sec(θ)

Vilka [71]

For a cartesian equation
$x=r\cos\theta \ and \ y=r\sin\theta \\ \\ \cos\theta=\frac{x}{r} \ and \ \sin\theta=\frac{y}{r} \\ \\ \tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\frac{y}{r}\cdot\frac{r}{x}=\frac{y}{x} \\ \\ \sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\frac{r}{x}$

Given r = 10 tan(θ) sec(θ)
$r=10\tan\theta\sec\theta=10\cdot\frac{y}{x}\cdot\frac{r}{x} \\ \\ \Rightarrow10y=x^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{1}{10} x^2$

Therefore,the curve is a parabola opening upward with vertex (0, 0).

The price of a calculator has decreased from

NeTakaya

Decrease = New number - Original Number

% Decrease = $\frac{Decrease}{Original~number}$ × 100

Decrease = 9 - 12 = -3

% Decrease = $\frac{-3}{12}$ = -0.25 × 100 = -25

Your answer = -25
