\huge\boxed{5\%}

First, divide with a calculator.

34.65\div 33=1.05

Now subtract 1, which is equivalent to the value of the item, as it is equal to 100\%.

1.05-1=0.05

Move the decimal two places to the right to convert it to a percentage.

0.05\longrightarrow\large\boxed{5}

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<h2>         X-intercept: (2, 0) </h2><h2>         Y-intercept: (0, 6) </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

X-intercept means y-coordinate of 0:

6x +2×0 = 12

6x = 12

  x = 2         ← x-coordinate

Y-intercept means x-coordinate of 0:

6×0 + 2y = 12

2y = 12

  y = 6         ← y-coordinate

Answer:

O <u>4th option</u> : <u>(-4, -2)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ 9x - 9y = -18

⇒ -<u>6x + 9y = 6</u>

  • 3x = -12
  • x = -4

  • 9(-4) - 9y = -18
  • -36 - 9y = -18
  • -9y = 18
  • y = -2

⇒ (x , y)

⇒ <u>(-4, -2)</u>

When a whole number is multiplied by a decimal smaller than one, what can you conclude about the result?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The resulting number is smaller than the original. This is true because if you take 20 times 0.5 it will equal ten. A decimal is pretty much a fraction in another form.

  • The reason why A is false is because if the number isn't being multiplied by 1 then it can't stay the same.
  • The reason why B is false is because that is not true as in the example above, 20 times 0.5, it equaled 10 and not less than one.
  • The reason why C is false is because the the resulting number simply cannot be higher than the original when being multiplied by a decimal smaller than 1.

Hope this helps
