What is 90 decreased by 40%?

1 answer:

Because it's decreasing, you use the formula (1-x/100)y with x the percentage decreased which is here 40, and y the number decreased which is here 90
So we get
(1-40/100) * 90
(100/100 - 40/100) * 90
60/100 * 90
5400/100
54
So 90 decreased by 40% is 54
Hope this Helps :)

The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May it cost her $420 to drive 500 mi

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$d \to miles$

$C \to cost$

So:

$(d_1,C_1) = (500,420)$ --- May

$(d_2,C_2) = (620,444)$ --- June

Required

Express as a function

Start by calculating the slope (m)

$m = \frac{\triangle C}{\triangle d}$

$m = \frac{444-420}{620-500}$

$m = \frac{24}{120}$

Simplify

$m = \frac{1}{5}$

The equation is:

$C(d) = m(d - d_1) +C_1$

$C(d) = \frac{1}{5}(d - 500) +420$

$C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d - 100 +420$

Take LCM

$C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320$

Answer:

The factors of $2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5$ is ((x+y)-5)(2x+2y+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial

=> $2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5$

To Find:

The factors of the polynomial =?

Solution:

Lets assume k = (x+y)

Then $2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5$ can be written as $2k^2-9k-5$

Now by using quadratic formula

k = $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where

a= 2

b= -9

c= -5

Substituting the values, we get

k = $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{((-9)^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2))}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(81+40)}}{4}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(121)}}{4}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm 11}}{4}$

k= $\frac{ 9 \pm 11}{4}$

k = $\frac{20}{4}$ k = $\frac{-2}{4}$

$k_1 =5$ $k_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$2k^2-9k-5= 2(k-5)(k+\frac{1}{2})$

Solving the RHS we get

$\frac{2}{2}(k-5)(2k+1)$

$(k-5)(2k+1)$

Substituting k = x+y

$((x+y)-5)(2(x+y+1)$

$((x+y)-5)(2x+2y+1)$
