<span>Hello there! 
10 is 40% percent of what?
Well.....
100%/x%=40/10
First,  multiply both sides of your equation by x:
(100/x)*x=(40/10)*x
Second, you need to divide both sides of your equation by (4) in order to get x:100=4*x
100/4=x 
Answer:
x=25</span>
Therefore, 10 is 25% of 40

Good luck with your studies, I hope this helps~!

A man travels 20 km by car from Town P to Town Q at an average speed of x km/h. He finds that the time of the journey would be s
yuradex [85]

Answer:

x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

First, we know that a man travels a distance of 20km at a speed of x km/h, in a time T.

We can write this as:

20km = (x km/h)*T

We know that the time is shortened by 12 minutes if the speed is increased by 5km/h

Rewriting these 12 minutes in hours (remember that 60min = 1 hour)

12 min = (12/60) hours = 0.2 hours

Then from this, he can travel the same distance of 20km in a time T minus 0.2 hours if the speed is increased by 5 km/h

We can write this as:

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

Then we have a system of two equations, and we want to find the value of x:

20km = (x km/h)*T

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

First, we should isolate the variable T in one of the equations, if we isolate it in the first one, we will get:

20km/(x km/h) = T

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*( 20km/(x km/h) - 0.2 h)

Now we can solve this for x.

Removing the units (that we know that are correct) so the math is easier to read, we get:

20 = (x + 5)*(20/x - 0.2)

We only want to solve this for x.

20 = x*20/x - x*0.2 + 5*20/x - 5*0.2

20 = 20 - 0.2*x + 100/x - 1

subtracting 20 in both sides we get:

20 - 20 = 20 - 0.2*x + 100/x - 1 - 20

0 = -0.2*x + 100/x - 1

If we multiply both sides by x we get:

0 = -0.2*x^2 + 100 - x

-0.2*x^2 - x + 100 = 0

This is just a quadratic equation, we can solve it using the Bhaskara's equation, the solutions are:

x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*(-0.2)*100} }{2*-0.2}  = \frac{1 \pm 9 }{-0.4}

Then the two solutions are:

x = (1 + 9)/-0.4 = -25

x = (1 - 9)/-0.4 = 20

As x is used to represent a speed, the negative solution does not make sense, so we should use the positive one.

x = 20

then the average speed initially is 20 km/h

An Ivy League college accepts 5 students for every 100 that apply. What fraction of applicants is accepted? Write your results i
Law Incorporation [45]

Hello there!

To find the fraction of applicants that are accepted into the Ivy League college, all you have to do is put the number of students accepted (numerator) over the total number of students that apply (denominator). This makes the fraction 5/100. This fraction can be simplified. To simplified, find the GCF of the two numbers. The GCF of 5 and 100 is 5. Divide both parts by 5. 5/100 ÷ 5/5 is 1/20. There. 5/100 is 1/20 in simplest form. The Ivy League college accepts 1/20 of it's applicants.

What is the slope of a line represented by the equation 2y = × - 4?
IrinaVladis [17]
Y=mx+b is the slope intercept form where m=slope and b=y intercept

so
2y=x-4
divide both sides by 2
y=1/2x-2
slope is 1/2

Lady bird [3.3K]
I would tell her not to because not only does she have to pay back the 1000 but now she also has to pay back the interest on it. She should just wait or save up until she has 1000 that way she dont gotta pay extra.
