First, to estimate we can round 53.82 up to 55.00. Then you can look at it like this: when you divide 100 by 20 you get 5, so 20% is one fifth of 100. Therefore, we want to find one fifth of $55. To do this, you multiply 55*1/5. When you multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other, you get 55/5. When you divide the numerator and denominator by 5, you get 11/1 or $11.
Hope this helps
Answer: Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a 20% profit. If he sold it for $4680, how much did Charles pay for the car?
---------------------------
Let the price he paid equal "x".
EQUATION:
x + 0.20x = 4680
1.2x = 4680
x = $3900 (price he paid for the car.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5 -(-2.5)
Change -(- into addition
1.5 + 2.5 = 4
Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:
20^2=12^2+x^2
400=144+x^2
x^2=400-144
x^2=256
x=16
In standard form it would be y= 5x - 4
