We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".
<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>
Gained 20 means +20.
Loses 15 mean -15.
Therefore, we can setup an expression as:
<h3>+20 -15.</h3>
20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.
Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.
20-15 = 5 pounds.
Answer:
73%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you'll divide the total squares by 100 to get how much is one percent. Then, you divide the shaded squares by the value of 1%. And you'll get how many percents are shaded.
For equivalent decimal, you divide the number by 100.
Then for equivalent decimal, you get the percent and 100.
Answer:
Jane is 52 7/40 inches tall
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you subtract 1 3/8 from 54 3/4 which gives you Carl's height, which is 53 3/8.
Lastly, you subtract 1 1/5 from 53 3/8 which is 52 7/40.
Okay so first you want to simplify the given equation (7x+3y)(7x-3y)
in order to do this you multiply the first number of the first equation (7x) with the first number of the second equation (7x) this gives you 49x^2
Now you want to multiply the second number of the first equation (3y) by the second number of the second equation (-3y) this gives you -9y^2
Its as easy as pie!
Answer:
None of these choices are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a bond is quoted at 99.875, it means that it is sold at 99.875% of the face value;
Face value = 1000
Therefore, Price = 0.99875 * 1000
Price = $998.75
If Leona pays 5.5% of the selling price, it means that she is paying additional cost which will make the total cost more than the quoted price;
5.5% of 998.75 is;
0.055*998.75 = $54.93
The total cost = $998.75 +$54.93
= $1053.68
Therefore, none of the given choices is correct.
