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.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

$x = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Regroup terms.

$4x - 1 = 3x + 3$

2. Add 1 to both sides.

$4x = 3x + 3 + 1$

3. Simplify 3x + 3 + 1 to 3x + 4.

$4x = 3x + 4$

4. Subtrect 3x from both sides.

$4x - 3x = 4$

5. Simplify 4x - 3x to x.

$x = 4$

Therefor, the answer is, x = 4.

One type of insect is 0.0052 meters long. What is the lenght in scientific notation

Ket [755]

Answer:

5.2 × $10^{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a number in scientific notation is expressed as

a × $10^{n}$

where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer

write 0.0052 as a number between 1 and 10, that is 5.2

we have to the move the decimal point 3 places to the left to retain it's value

3 places left means n is - 3

0.0052 = 5.2 × $10^{-3}$

irina1246 [14]

Using the data presented in the problem, you are asked to predict the probability that future customers will cancel their preorders. To find the probability, you have to divide the number of people who cancelled their preorders by the total number of people who preordered.

35 people / 140 people = .25 or 25% probability that the future customers will cancel their preorders.
