Answer: 12%


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original salary be Rs a


Salary after increase = a + 40% of a


= a + 40a/100


= 140a/100


= 14a/10


= 7a/ 5


Salary after Decrease = 7a/5 - 20% of 7a/5


= 7a/5 - 20× 7a / 100 × 5


= 7a/5 - 7a/25


= ( 35a - 7a) / 25


= 28a/25


Absolute increase = 28a/25 - a


= 3a/25


Percentage = 3a/25 ×100 / a


= 3 × 4


= 12%

He uses a scale of 0.5 centimeter to 1 inch to draw the flag. The length of the scale drawing is 2.5 centimeters, and its width
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Perimeter = 28.8 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Change given centimeters into inches according to the scale

2.5 / .5 = 5 <--- length in inches

4.7 / .5 = 9.4 <--- width in inches

^^^This is the same thing as multiplying 2.5 cm and 4.7 cm by two. You could also reword the scale to be 1 cm = 2 inch if it makes more sense for you

Step 2: Find the perimeter using the formula: P = 2L + 2W

2 (5) + 2(9.4)

10 + 18.8

Part A: Explain why x = 5 makes 4x - 1 5 19 true but not 4x - 1 &lt; 19.
Westkost [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 19 ≤ 19 . . . true
  • 19 < 19 . . . false
  • x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A number cannot be less than itself, but can be equal to itself.

In each case, the left side of the inequality evaluates to 19:

  4(5) -1 = 20 -1 = 19

It is true that 19 is less than or equal to 19. This is true because 19 = 19.

It is not true that 19 is less than 19. A number cannot be less than itself.

__

B) 5x +2 = 47

  5x = 45 . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5

The element 9 from the set is the solution to the equation.

In front of a store, there is a row of parking spaces. Cars park parallel to one another, with the front of each car facing the
Gelneren [198K]

The width used for the car spaces are taken as a multiples of the width of

the compact car spaces.

Correct response:

  • The store owners are incorrect
<h3 /><h3>Methods used to obtain the above response</h3>

Let <em>x</em><em> </em>represent the width of the cars parked compact, and let a·x represent the width of cars parked in full size spaces.

We have;

Initial space occupied = 10·x + 12·(a·x) = x·(10 + 12·a)

New space design = 16·x + 9×(a·x) = x·(16 + 9·a)

When the dimensions of the initial and new arrangement are equal, we have;

10 + 12·a = 16 + 9·a

12·a - 9·a = 16 - 10 = 6

3·a = 6

a = 6 ÷ 3 = 2

a = 2

Whereby the factor <em>a</em> < 2, such that the width of the full size space is less than twice the width of the compact spaces, by testing, we have;

10 + 12·a < 16 + 9·a

Which gives;

x·(10 + 12·a) < x·(16 + 9·a)

Therefore;

The initial total car park space is less than the space required for 16

compact spaces and 9 full size spaces, therefore; the store owners are

incorrect.

(25 - 1) \div 6 =

24 \div 6 = 4

Note:

Do the square first, and then you do mathematic operation between the parentheses. And, then do the

mathematic operation in the outside of parentheses.

Thank you.
