Answer:

58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose x percent of 86 is 50.

Therefore, we have the below equation

x% of 86 = 50

Eliminating percentage, we get

0.0x × 86 = 50

Solve for x

$0.0x\times86=50\\\\0.0x=\frac{50}{86}\\\\x=\frac{50}{86}\times100\\\\x=58.1$

Hence, in nearest whole percent, we have

x = 58%

Therefore, 58% of 86 is 50

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Jimmy's second dive was $\frac{4}{15}$ of the pool deeper than the first one

Explanation:

We are given that:

First dive was $\frac{1}{3}$ of the way to the bottom

Second dive was $\frac{3}{5}$ of the way to the bottom

We know that the second dive was deeper than the first one since $\frac{3}{5} > \frac{1}{3}$

To know how much deeper the second dive was compared to the first one, we will simply subtract the depth of the first dive from that of the second one

Therefore:

The second dive was $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{15} - \frac{5}{15} = \frac{4}{15}$ of the pool deeper than the first one

Hope this helps :)

A man invested ksh. 36000 in two companies P and Q . Company P pays a dividend of 11.25% while Q pays a dividend of 10.5%. Is fr

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Investment in company P = 12,000

Investment in company Q = 24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total investment = 36,000

Dividend paid by company P = 11.25%

Dividend paid by company Q = 10.5%

Total return = 10.75%

Now, let investment made in company P be 'a' and company 'Q' be 'b.' So,

A.T.Q.

a + b = 36,000 ...(i)

11.25% of a + 10.5% of b = 10.75% of 36000 ...(ii)

On simplification,

a + b = 36,000

11.25% of a + 10.5% of b = 3870

Now,

11.25% of a + 10.5% of (36000 - a) = 3870

⇒ 0.1125 * a + 0.105 * (36000 - a) = 3870

⇒ 0.1125 a + 3780 - 0.105a = 3870

⇒ 0.1125a - 0.105 a - 3870 - 3780

⇒ 0.0075 a = 90

⇒ a = 90/0.0075

∵ a = 12000

Since, a = P = 12,000

Q = b = (36000 - a)

= 36000 - 12000

= 24,000

Thus,

Investment in company P = 12,000

Investment in company Q = 24,000

Use the inverse variation equation to fill in the table.

Mandarinka [93]

The value of a is 0.10.

The value of b is 20.78.

The value of c is 0.02.

<h3>What are the missing values?</h3>

When two variables have inverse variation, the two variables move in opposite directions. If one variable increases, the other decreases.

p = 8.31 / V

V = 8.31 / p

a = 8.31 / 83.1 = 0.10

b = 8.31 / 0.4 = 20.78

c = 8.31 / 415.5 = 0.02
