I like to think of these like this.

What was the amount of the discount? 300 - 234 = $66 dollars.

66 is to 300 as ? is to 100?

This is how that question looks in an equation:

66/300 = x/100 Solve for x by cross multipying.

66 x 100 = 300 x

660 = 300 x

x = 22

The discount amount on the tablet is 22% off the regular price.

Check it!

300 x .22 = $66 dollars off. 300 - 234 = $66 off.

Yes! It checks.

The value of y varies directly with x. When y = 85, x = 14. What is the value of y when x is 112?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

y = 679.952

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the value of y varies directly with x.

y₁ = 85, x₁ = 14

$y\propto x\\\\y=kx\\\\k=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{85}{14}\\\\k=6.071$

We need to find the value of y when x is 112.

$y=k\times x\\\\=6.071\times 112\\\\y=679.952$

So, the value of y is 679.952 when x is 112.

It is known that the function f(x)=3(1.5) ^x has an area of 48.787 units^2"over the interval 0 <=x<=5.If g(x)=f(x)-3, what

ch4aika [34]

We have

$\displaystyle \int_0^5 g(x)\; dx = \int_0^5 (f(x)-3)\; dx = \int_0^5 f(x)\; dx - \int_0^5 3\; dx$

The first integral is known and it is 48.787. The second integral is the area of a rectangle:

$\int_0^5 f(x)\; dx - \int_0^5 3\; dx = 48.787 - 15 = 33.787$
