Let's make an equation with the information given.

A 15% increase in a number means that the number was multiplied by 1.15.

1.15x=299

x=260

Hope this helps.

頑張って!

Answer:

260

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x.

When x is increased by 15% it is equal to 299. The number itself is 100%, so we should multiply x by 115%. Convert 115% to a decimal. Divide 115 by 100 or move the decimal place two spots to the right.

115/100= 1.15                                 or                        115.0 --> 11.5 --> 1.15

When x and 1.15 are multiplied they should equal 229. Set up an equation.

1.15x=229

We want to solve for x. Therefore, we must isolate x on one side of the equation. x is being multiplied by 1.15 The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 1.15

1.15x/1.15=229/1.15

x=229/1.15

x=260

When 260 is increased by 15% the result is 299.

HELPP ME PLZZZ THIS IS MY LAST QUESTION
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a. y = 3x - 11

b. y = -1/3 x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line on the graph increases by 3 every time it moves over 1. This means that the slope of the given line is 3.

a. When 2 equations are parallel, their slopes are the same, so the slope of this equation will be 3. To find the y-intercept, plug in the values of the slope and the given point (3, -2) into the equation y = mx + b:

-2 = 3(3) + b

-2 = 9 + b

-11 = b

The y-intercept is -11. Now we can write our equation:

y = 3x - 11

b. When 2 lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals. The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3. We can use the slope and the given point (3, -2) to find the y-intercept:

-2 = -1/3(3) + b

-2 = -1 + b

-1 = b

The y-intercept is -1. Now we can write our equation:

y = -1/3x - 1

Hope this helps :)

Zahra was given two data sets, one without an outlier and one with an outlier. Data without an outlier: 15, 19, 22, 26, 29 Data
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The median is increased by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the number in the middle of the data when looked at from lowest value to greatest value. For the first data set, the median is 22. There are five values, and 22 has two values on both sides. For the second data set, the median is 24. Since there is an even number of data values, you have to take the two middle values, which are the values that have the same amount of values on each sides, and then find the average of those two values. To find the average, add up the values you are trying to find the average of, and then divide the sum by the number of values. The two middle values are 22 and 26 because there are two numbers on either side of them. (On the left side, there are the numbers 15 and 19, and on the right side, 29 and 81.) The average of 22 and 26 is 24 because 22 + 26 = 48, and 48/2 = 24. 24 is 2 greater than 22.

What is the area of the parallelogram?<br> 48 sqrt3 cm^2<br> 48 cm^2<br> 24 sqrt3 cm^2<br> 24 cm^2
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The area of a parallelogram is base times height. 

We can find the height by deriving a right triangle from the 60 degree angle and the 6 cm hypotenuse

sin(60°) = opp/hyp = x/6
√3/2 = x/6     Multiply both sides by 6
3√3 = x
x = 3√3

The height is 3 √3

Area = base x height
Area = 3√3 * 8
Area = 24 √3 cm²

Answer is C) 24 √3 cm²
