First let us calculate for his salary this year. We know
that 3000 is only 8% of his salary, hence:
0.08 * salary = 3000
salary = 3000 / 0.08
salary = 37,500
Therefore his previous salary is:
previous salary = 37,500 + 2,000
<span>previous salary = $39,500</span>
Answer:
The area of the building in terms of y in its simplest form is 12(y + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the area of a rectangle is A = LW where L = length and W = width. From our question, the width of the rectangular building is 3 feet. So, W = 3 feet and its length is 4y + 8 feet. So, L = 4y + 8 feet.
So, the area of the building in terms of y is A = LW
= (4y + 8) × 3
Factorizing out 4 from the expression, we have
= 4(y + 2) × 3
= 12(y + 2)
So, the area of the building in terms of y in its simplest form is 12(y + 2)
Answer: 27/12=2.25
Pretty simple:)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, percent is always out of 100. If you have 22%, you have 22 people per every 100 people, or, 22/100.
22/100 is the incomplete answer because it needs to be simplified. If you divide both numbers by two you get 11/50 which is the lowest fraction you can have because 11 is a prime number.
To estimate the quotient, we first round off the divisor and the dividend to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then divide the rounded numbers. In a division sum, when the divisor is made up of 2 digits or more than 2 digits, it helps if we first estimate the quotient and then try to find the actual number.
