25% = $120

Find 1%

1% = 120 ÷ 25 = $4.80

Find 100% (original price):

100% = 4.8 x 100 = $480

Remaining price to pay:

$480 - $120 = $360

Answer: $360

If 25% = 120
if 25 is multiplied by 4 to become 100(%) if we multiply 120 with 4, the answer should be the original cost.
480 is the original cost but since 120 is already paid, the final answer should be 360.

PLEASE ANSWER Chelsea is budgeting for her trip to the mall. She does not want to spend any more than $140. If she wants to buy

Tcecarenko [31]

Let s equal the number of shirts she can buy

140 > $28.50 + $20.75s
111.50 > 20.75s
5.37 > s

so we round down. she can buy 5 shirts, plus the one dress and she would spend less than $140

A vector with magnitude 9 points in a direction 190 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Write in component form

Over [174]

Answer:

$\vec{v}= \text{ or } \approx$

Step-by-step explanation:

Component form of a vector is given by $\vec{v}=$ , where $i$ represents change in x-value and $j$ represents change in y-value. The magnitude of a vector is correlated the Pythagorean Theorem. For vector $\vec{v}=$ , the magnitude is $||v||=\sqrt{i^2+j^2$ .

190 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x-axis is 10 degrees below the negative x-axis. We can then draw a right triangle 10 degrees below the horizontal with one leg being $i$ , one leg being $j$ , and the hypotenuse of the triangle being the magnitude of the vector, which is given as 9.

In any right triangle, the sine/sin of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse, or longest side, of the triangle.

Therefore, we have:

$\sin 10^{\circ}=\frac{j}{9},\\j=9\sin 10^{\circ}$

To find the other leg, $i$ , we can also use basic trigonometry for a right triangle. In right triangles only, the cosine/cos of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle. We get:

$\cos 10^{\circ}=\frac{i}{9},\\i=9\cos 10^{\circ}$
