Answer:

30 games

Step-by-step explanation:

As a reduced fraction 85% is equal to 85/100 = 17/20. Therefore, the number of games Teddy played yesterday must have been a multiple of 20. Suppose Teddy played 20m games, so he won 17m games.

Also, suppose Teddy played n games today. As a reduced fraction, 94% is equal to 94/100 = 47/50. Since Teddy won every game he played today, we have

(17m + n)/(20m + n) = 47/50

Cross-multiplying, we get 850m + 50n = 940m + 47n. Then 3n = 90m, so n = 30m. Therefore, the minimum number of games that Teddy played today is 30.

The equation we use here is:
(0.85)x +(1.00)y = (0.94)(x + y)
x is for the number of games he played on first day, y is the games on second day. The coefficients are the decimal form of percentages.

Simplify:
0.85x + y = 0.94x + 0.94y \\ \\ 0.06y = 0.09x \\ \\ \frac{6y}{100} = \frac{9x}{100} \\ \\ 6y = 9x \\ \\ 2y = 3x

To find x we need to use the ratio. We have 85/100 as the first day's ratio and because the games needs to be whole, we can simplify this as 17/20. So in first day, he played at least 20 games and won 17 of them.

When we plug the 20 into the equation as x:
2y = 3 \times 20 \\ \\ 2y = 60 \\ \\ y = 30
So he needs to play at least 30 games in order to get his score to 94%.

2/3(18x - 12) = 7 – 3(x –3)​
julsineya [31]

Answer:

x=8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(18x-12)=7-3(x-3)

2/3(18x-12)=7-3x+9

12x-8=-3x+16

12x-(-3x)-8=16

12x+3x-8=16

15x-8=16

15x=16+8

15x=24

x=24/15

simplify

x=8/5

A cylinder has a height of 8.1 inches and circular base with a diameter of 2.7 inches. The cylinder contains 3 green spheres, ea
klasskru [66]

Answer:

A point is chosen at random inside the cylinder, then probability the point belongs outside of the spheres is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find volume of the cylinder and volume of the three spheres.

Volume of cylinder =\pi r^{2} h

Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Now, r =2.7

h=8.1

Find volume of each shape.

Volume of cylinder =\pi (2.7)^{2} (8.1)

                             =59.049\pi

Now, volume of 3 spheres =3*\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(2.7)^{3}

                                         =78.732\pi

Now, p(E)=\frac{Outcomes favorable to event E}{Total number of outcomes}

So, Probability of point is chosen at random inside the cylinder which belongs outside of the spheres  is

                  \frac{78.732\pi -59.049\pi }{78.732\pi }

Let's simplify them

             0.25

A point is chosen at random inside the cylinder, then probability the point belongs outside of the spheres is 0.25

A car salesman earns a 20% commission on every car that he sells. Approximately what commission would he make if he sold a car f
monitta

First you are going to multiply the number by the percent. 9,895 x 20= 197,900.

Now divide the answer by 100. 197,900 / 100= 1,979.

This means the car salesman should make 1,979 from the car sale.

Remember, multiply the number by the percent, then divide that answer by 100.

I hope this helps! :)
