To determine this, we need to set up proportions.
x/100 = 75/500.
A quick way to find x, the percentage we're looking for, is to cross multiply our fractions.
100 x 75 and 500 with x.
75 x100 = 7500, and 500 times x is 500x.
7500=500x
Divide by 500 on each side.
15 = x
Your answer is C.)15%.
I hope this helps!

4(5x – 9) = -2(x + 7) solve and justify each step

Alexandra [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

4(5x-9)=-2(x+7)

4*5x-4*9=-2*x-2*7

20x-36=-2x-14

20x+2x=-14+36

22x=22

x=22/22

x=1

If k‐th term of a sequence is ak = ( -1) ^k(2-k)k/2k-1

max2010maxim [7]

Given:

kth term of a sequence is

$a_k=\dfrac{(-1)^k(2-k)k}{2k-1}$

To find:

The next term $a_{k+1}$ when k is even.

Solution:

We have,

$a_k=\dfrac{(-1)^k(2-k)k}{2k-1}$

Put k=k+1, to get the next term.

$a_{k+1}=\dfrac{(-1)^{k+1}(2-(k+1))(k+1)}{2(k+1)-1}$

If k is even, then k+1 must be odd and odd power of -1 gives -1.

$a_{k+1}=\dfrac{(-1)(2-k-1)(k+1)}{2k+2-1}$

$a_{k+1}=\dfrac{(-1)(1-k)(1+k)}{2k+1}$

$a_{k+1}=-\dfrac{1^2-k^2}{2k+1}$ $[\because (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2]$

$a_{k+1}=-\dfrac{1-k^2}{2k+1}$

Therefore, the next term is $a_{k+1}=-\dfrac{1-k^2}{2k+1}$ .
