What does it mean to be 167% of poverty level?

Mathematics

Andru [333]4 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It means that you are above the poverty level by 67%. Good state to be in.

Although what exactly that amounts to depends on where you live. When you follow the government link, there are only 2 examples given -- one for Alaska and 1 for Hawaii. It is easier to understand what 100% of the poverty level means and then figure out what 200% means. That way you can estimate 167%.

Suppose in your state you and your significant other live in the same household. The chart shows the base line is 17000 dollars. Below that and you are even poorer than at the poverty level.

So 100% is 17000

200% would be 2*17000 = 34000 dollars.

167% is somewhere between these two numbers.

The simple way to do this is to use the fractional amount

167%/100 = 1.67

The number you have to work with is 1.67 * 17000 = 28390.

The reason this is important is because the state you live in may offer you assistance up to and including 167% of the base poverty level, in this case 28390

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

k=\frac{2P}{x^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Which equation should she use?

we have the formula

P=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

Solve for k

That means ----> isolate the variable k

Multiply by 2 both sides

2P=kx^{2}

Divide by x^2 both sides

\frac{2P}{x^{2}}=k

Rewrite

k=\frac{2P}{x^{2}}

In the diagram, the measure of angle 8 is 124°, and the measure of angle 2 is 84°. A transversal intersects 2 lines to form 8 an
BARSIC [14]

Clockwise from the top left, the angles are ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7, ∠8 are 96°, 84°, 96°, 84°, 56°, 124°, 56°, 124° respectively. Then the correct option is A.

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>

Angle is the space between the line or the surface that meets.  And the angle is measured in degree. For complete 1 rotation, the angle is 360 degrees.

Supplementary angle - Two angles are said to be supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degrees.

Vertically opposite angle - When two lines intersect, then their opposite angles are equal.

In the diagram, the measure of angle ∠8 is 124°, and the measure of angle ∠2 is 84°.

Angle ∠1 and ∠2 are supplement angles.

∠1 + ∠2 = 180°

∠1 + 84° = 180°

        ∠1 = 96°

Similarly, angles ∠7 and ∠8 are supplement angles.

∠7 + ∠8 = 180°

∠7 + 124° = 180°

          ∠7 = 56°

By the property of the opposite angles, we have

∠1 = ∠3 = 96°

∠2 = ∠4 = 84°

∠5 = ∠7 = 56°

∠6 = ∠8 = 124°

Clockwise from the top left, the angles are ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7, ∠8 are 96°, 84°, 96°, 84°, 56°, 124°, 56°, 124° respectively.

Then the correct option is A.
