Your answer will be 560,000 because you convert 10% to a decimal which is .10 and times .10 by 56,000 and you get your answer 560,000

Answer:

61,600

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem first we need to know how much is 10% of 56,000 and then add this quantity to the budget of the last year.

We find this 10% by dividing 56,00 by 100 and then we multiply by 10%:

10 % of 56,000 = \frac{56,000}{100}(10)

10 % of 56,000 = 560(10)

10 % of 56,000 = 5,600

The budget for the new year was increased by 5,600. Thus, the new budget is:

56,000 + 5,600 = 61,600

Joey and Armando live on the same st as the park. The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando'
AleksandrR [38]
Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park. 

Let x be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.

<span>The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park. 

</span>\dfrac{9}{10} = x + \dfrac{3}{5}

x = \dfrac{9}{10} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{9}{10} -\dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{3}{10}

That's probably the answer they're looking for.  But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando?  (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)

Let a, b, c be the distances between three collinear points like we have here.  Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like

\pm a \pm b = \pm c

Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,

a^2 + b^2\pm 2ab = c^2

\pm 2ab = c^2-a^2-b^2

4a^2b^2 = (c^2-a^2-b^2)^2

For us, that's a quadratic equation for c^2

4(9/10)^2(3/5)^2= (c^2-(9/10)^2 - (3/5)^2)^2

I'll skip right to the solutions,

c^2=\dfrac{9}{100} \textrm{ or } c^2=\dfrac{9}{4}


c=\dfrac{3}{10} \textrm{ or } c=\dfrac{3}{2}

We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.
