74% * x = 128
x=128/74%
x=172.97 (nearest hundredth)

Steps:
1. Do a proportion
128/x=74/100
2. Do 128 times 100 which equals 12,800
3. Do 12,800 divided by 74 which equals 172.972
4. If you rounded to the nearest hundreth, your answer would be: 172.97
(Since the 2 after the 7 was below 5, you would round down to 7)

Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to ans

zloy xaker [14]

Part A:

Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4

The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

For the perimeters to be the same

4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2

The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.

Part B:

The area of the square is given by

$Area=(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16$

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8

For the areas to be the same

$x^2+8x+16=6x+8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+8x-6x+16-8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+2x+8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(8)}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-28}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{7}}{2} =-1\pm i\sqrt{7}$

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

Which sentence matches the mathematical equation? p-0.40p=0.60p

IRISSAK [1]

P-0.40p = 0.60p

C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.

Assume that p = 10

10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6

Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10).

Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%

The price of a gallon of gasoline dropped by $0.08 on Wednesday and by 0.25 of that amount on Thursday. Which best represents ho

Dmitrij [34]

The correct answer is (A) this is because if you add 25 and 8 cents you get 32 and that becomes a negative number because they are asking how much it droped which i decreasing which is negative so your answer is -0.32 (A)
