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.

I need help with this problem, if anyone could help ASAP, that would be much appreciated. In the figure below, mROP = 125° Find
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

mRP = 125°

mQS = 125°

mPQR = 235°

mRPQ = 305°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

  • mROP = 125°
  • ∠ROP is a central angle

Then:

  • measure of arc RP, mRP = mROP = 125°

Given that

  • ∠QOS and ∠ROP are vertical angles

Then:

  • mQOS = mROP = 125°
  • measure of arc QS, mQS = mROP = 125°

Given that

  • ∠QOR and ∠SOP are vertical angles

Then:

  • mQOR = mSOP

Given that

  • The addition of all central angles of a circle is 360°

Then:

mQOS + mROP + mQOR + mSOP = 360°

250° + 2mQOR = 360°

mQOR = (360°- 250°)/2

mQOR = mSOP = 55°

And (QOR and SOP are central angles):

  • measure of arc QR, mQR = mQOR = 55°
  • measure of arc SP, mSP = mSOP = 55°

Finally:

measure of arc PQR, mPQR = mQOR + mSOP + mQOS = 55° + 55° + 125° = 235°

measure of arc RPQ, mRPQ = mROP + mSOP + mQOS = 125° + 55° + 125° = 305°

A jar contains 18 red marbles 14 green marbels and 20 blue marbles a marble was selected at random the color was recorded and th
muminat

The "relative frequency" is

         (number of times a blue marble came out)
divided by
         (total number of trials before everybody got bored and quit) .

-- The relative frequency of blue was  (20/60)  =  (33 and 1/3) % .
(Even though 38.5% of the marbles in the jar are blue,
they didn't get picked that often.)

-- The relative frequency of green was  (18/60)  =  30 % .
(Even though only 26.9% of the marbles in the jar are green,
they got picked more often than that.)

-- The relative frequency of red was  (22/60)  =  (36 and 2/3) % .
(Even though 42.3% of the marbles in the jar are red,
they didn't get picked that often.)

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.
BARSIC [14]

Look carefully at the first pair:  (−3, 9), (−3, −5)  Note that x does not change, tho' y does.  This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined).  The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.

Looking at the second pair:  from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.

Third pair:  as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis).  The slope is undefined.

Ainat [17]
(3+x)+x=10.5

Simplify

2x = 7.5

x = 3.75

Plug in for x

(3 + 3.75) + 3.75 = 10.5

6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5

The heavier packet of fruit is 6.75 kg.
