If there is 10% of $18 = 18 x 0.9 (1 - 0.1) = $16.20
Therefore the pie costs $16.20
He is saving 18 - 16.20 = $1.80

The answer would be $16.20 divided by 18.00 which would = $1.80

An international company has 29,100 employees in one country. If this represents 23.7% of the company's employees, how many empl

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

122785 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of employees be X

Given the following data;

Number of employees = 29100

Percentage = 23.7%

To find the total number of employees;

23.7/100 * X = 29100

Cross-multiplying, we have;

23.7X = 29100 * 100

23.7X = 2910000

X = 2910000/23.7

X = 122784.81 ≈ 122785 employees

Han drinks three gallons of iced tea each day. Each gallon of iced tea contains ¾ cups of sugar. How much sugar does Han drink w

erica [24]

Answer:

3 cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Han drinks 3/4 of a cup of sugar each day when she drinks iced tea. She drinks 3 gallons, and each contains 3/4. If each contains only 3/4, we will have to multiply 3/4 by 3 gallons to find our answer to this question.

$\frac{3}{4} = 1 \text{-gallon}$

So, now we will have to multiply 3/4 by the number 3.

$\frac{3}{4}$ × $3$ = $\frac{12}{4}$

12/4 is equal to 3, so the answer is 3.

jada is using a computer’s random number generator to produce 6 random whole numbers between 1 and 100 so she can use a random s

nikdorinn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

The random numbers are selected randomly. Just because they happen to be 6 numbers in a row does not mean that they were not. If she is confident in the random number generator, which can be assumed, then the random numbers were still randomly selected and can be used. To regenerate would be a mistake because Jada is then picking and choosing which random numbers are chosen, defeating the purpose of a random number generator

Triangle ABC has AB=5, BC=7, and AC=9. D is on AC with BD=5. Find the length of DC

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$DC=\frac{8}{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The triangle ABD is an isosceles triangle

because

AB=BD

The segment BM is a perpendicular bisector segment AD

so

<em>In the right triangle ABM</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BM^2=AB^2-AM^2$

we have

$AB=5\ units\\AM=x\ units$

substitute

$BM^2=5^2-x^2$

$BM^2=25-x^2$ -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle BMC</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BM^2=BC^2-MC^2$

we have

$BC=7\ units\\MC=AC-AM=(9-x)\ units$

substitute

$BM^2=7^2-(9-x)^2$

$BM^2=49-(81-18x+x^2)$

$BM^2=49-81+18x-x^2$

$BM^2=-x^2+18x-32$ ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

$-x^2+18x-32=25-x^2$

solve for x

$18x=25+32\\18x=57\\\\x=\frac{57}{18}$

Simplify

$x=\frac{19}{6}$

<em>Find the length of DC</em>

$DC=AC-2x$

substitute the given values

$DC=9-2(\frac{19}{6})$

$DC=9-\frac{19}{3}\\\\DC=\frac{8}{3}\ units$
