Hello! So to solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. We write the proportion as change/original = x/100, where change is the distance between two number and the original is the previous number. Percents are parts of 100, so x is a percentage out of 100%. 1,435 - 1,220 is 215. Now, set it up like this.

215/1,435 = x/100

Cross multiply the values to get 21,500 = 1,435x. Divide each side by 1,435 to isolate the "x". 21,500/1,435 is 14.9825783972 or 15 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The percent change in the number of 8th graders is about 15%.

Find the measure of one interior angle for the following regular polygon
shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that by "interior" angle you do not mean the central angle.

This is a 10-sided polygon, a decagon. That means that there are 10 triangles that can extend from the center, with their sides being equal to the radii of the decagon. If we extract one of these triangles we can find what the interior angle is. The vertex angle measures 360/10 which is 36.

Split this triangle in half from the vertex to the base, creating a right triangle. The vertex angle is also split in half, making this angle (the vertex angle is the one at the top of the triangle) 18 degrees. We already know that one angle inside this right triangle is 90 (definition of a right triangle) and to find the other one, we apply the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem:

180 - 18 - 90 = 72 degrees. That is the measure of the base angle that is NOT the right angle, obviously.

John finds a toy train set John finds a toy train set on sale for 20% off at a toy store. The original price was $35. John
Helen [10]

Well here's your answer straight <u><em>he must pay 29.82$ </em></u>and here's my work,

  1. 20% of 35 is 7 and since its 20% off we must subtract 35-7=28
  2. Next it said there's a 6.5 tax so that means we are adding on to 28$
  3. 6.5 of 28 is 1.82 so we add 28+1.82 which equals your answer 29.82
