Hello!

To calculate how many votes Mrs. Jones had received, you would begin by converting 70% into a decimal, and then multiplying that decimal by the total number of votes.

Remember, all percentages are out of 100. So, 70/100 can be simplified into 7/10. As a decimal, 7/10 would be 0.7.

Next, we multiply 0.7 by the total number of votes, which is 1,500.

0.7 · 1500 = 1050

Therefore, in this election, Mrs. Jones received 1,050 votes out of the total 1,500 votes casted.

I need help... the question is confusing

$\bf \stackrel{line~J}{y+8=-(x-2)}\implies y+8=-x+2
\\\\\\
y=-x-6\implies y=\stackrel{slope}{-1}x-6$

now we know the slope of line J is -1.

a line perpendicular to J, will have a negative reciprocal slope, therefore,

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad -1\implies \cfrac{-1}{\underline{1}}\\\\
negative\implies +\cfrac{1}{{{ \underline{1}}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies + \cfrac{{{ \underline{1}}}}{1}\implies 1$

therefore, line K has a slope of 1, and passes through 3,4,

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ 3}} &,&{{ 4}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}\implies 1
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-4=1(x-3)\implies y-4=x-3
\\\\\\
y=x+1$

X+y=120 5.25x+3.0y=517.2

Sauron [17]

I will try to solve your system of equations.
x+y=120;5.25x+3y=517.2
Step: Solvex+y=120for x:
x+y+−y=120+−y(Add -y to both sides)x=−y+120
Step: Substitute−y+120forxin5.25x+3y=517.2:
5.25x+3y=517.25.25(−y+120)+3y=517.2−2.25y+630=517.2(Simplify both sides of the equation)−2.25y+630+−630=517.2+−630(Add -630 to both sides)−2.25y=−112.8−2.25y−2.25=−112.8−2.25(Divide both sides by -2.25)y=50.133333
Step: Substitute50.133333foryinx=−y+120:
x=−y+120x=−50.133333+120x=69.866667(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=69.866667 and y=50.133333

A store is having a 25•/• off sale on all shirts. show two ways to calculate the sale price for a shirt that normally costs $24.

tia_tia [17]

24 x .25 is 6, so 24 - 6 is $18.00.

I don't know another way sorry.

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked that the value of (4n + 7) will be an integer > 1 and < 200, for how many integer values of n.

So, equating (4n + 7) with 200 we can get the value.

4n + 7 = 200

⇒ 4n = 193

⇒ n = 48.25

Hence, the value of n will be the largest integer less than 48.25.

Therefore, the number of integer values of n will be 48. (Answer)
