Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value you can just find 12% of each number (trial and error), until one of them gives you 90 as an answer:
A) 750
750 * 0.12 = 90
B) 1080
1080 * 0.12 = 129.6
C) 360
360 * 0.12 = 43.2
D) 1168
1168 * 0.12 = 140.16
This tells you that 90 is 12% of the 750, and that is why it is your answer
I hope this helps!
Answer:
30 divided by 0.40 = 75
The original price was $75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
25 students.....10 of which passed...
percentage of students that passed : 10/25 = 0.4 = 40% <==
