Hello there! We are looking for the amount of total sales. To find the amount of total sales, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

180/x = 3/100

We do this, because 180 is part of the whole, 3% is a part of 100%. This proportion will help us get to the correct answer. Let's cross multiply. 180 * 100 is 18,000. 3 * x is 3x. that makes 18,000 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 18,000/3 is 6,000. Let's check this. 6,000 * 3% (0.030 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 6,000. The amount of sales is $6,000.

50 POINTS PLEASE EXPLAIN ANSWER A slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid through the vertex.
Elza [17]
Um, we see that the slice created the triangle, and the formula to find the area of the triangle:
1/2×B×h where B represent Base and h represent height.
In this case, Base=5 cm
Height=11 cm
A=1/2×11×5
A=5.5×5
A=27.5 square cm. As a result, the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section is 27.5 square cm. Hope it help!

The photography club decided to go on a field trip to the Andy Warhol museum. They had to break into smaller groups once they go
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
A)
Let x represent the cost of 1 student, and y the cost of 1 teacher.

B)
In the first group, there's 25 students and 2 teachers. Their total cost is $97.50
So 25x + 2y = 97.50
In the second group, there's 32 students and 3 teachers. Their total cost is $127
So 32x + 3y = 127

We get the following system of equations:
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

C)
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

In equation (1)
25x + 2y = 97.50
25x + 2y - 2y = 97.50 - 2y
25x = 97.50 - 2y
25x / 25 = 97.50/25 - 2y/25
x = 3.9 - (2/25)y

In equation (2), let's replace x by its algebraic value
32x + 3y = 127
32(-2/25y + 3.9) + 3y = 127
11/25y + 124.8 = 127
11/25y + 124.8 - 124.8 = 127 - 124.8
11/25y = 2.2
(11/25y) / (11/25) = 2.2 / (11/25)
y = 5

x = -2/25y + 3.9
x = -2/25 * 5 + 3.9
x = 3.5

So the cost of each student is $3.5, and the cost of each teacher is $5.

Hope this helps! :)
