paula earned a 56% on her science test if she got 14 problems correct then how many questions were on the test

2 answers:

5 0

To find the original amount, you do the amount she got correct divided by (1 minus the percentage).

Let P = amount of problems on the test.

P = 14 / (1 - 0.56)
= 14/ 0.44
≈ 31.818 repeating.

You can have part of a question (in this math, that is. Partial credit IRL exists) so we round to the nearest whole question, 32.

The test had 32 questions.

56% = 14 questions

1% = 14 ÷ 56 = 0.25 questions

100% = 0.25 x 100 = 25 questions

Answer: 25 questions.

The Rodriguez family went to dinner at at Pasta Palace. Mr. Rodriguez ordered a meal for $6.25; Mrs. R ordered a meal for $7.50;

lidiya [134]

Cost of the meal ordered by Mr. Rodriguez = $6.25
Cost of the meal ordered by Mrs. Rodriguez = $7.50
Cost of each pizza ordered by the two children = $4.99
Then
The cost of the 2 pizzas ordered by the 2 children = (2 * 4.99) dollars
   = 9.98 dollars
So
The total cost of the orders = (6.25 + 7.50 + 9.98) dollars
   = 23.73 dollars
Percentage of tip on the bill = 15%
Then
Amount of tip paid = (15/100) * 23.73 dollars
      = 355.95/100 dollars
      = 3.56 dollars
Percentage of tax paid on the bill = 7.25%
Amount of sales tax that was paid = (7.25/100) * 23.73 dollars
   = 172.04/100 dollars
   = 1.72 dollars
So
The total bill that was paid = (23.73 + 3.56 + 1.72) dollars
   = 29.01 dollars

Solve for X and solve for Y?

Llana [10]

Answer:

$x=3\sqrt 5\\$

$y = \sqrt {126}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By geometric mean property:

$x = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = \sqrt{45} = 3 \sqrt{5} \\ \\ by \: pythagoras \: theorem \\ \\ {y}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {(3 \sqrt{5}) }^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 81 + 45 \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 126 \\ \\ y = \sqrt{126}$

If 3x+54+(65 × 32)+ 902- (43/12) =y, then what is y?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

We cannot solve without a value for x. The simplified form is $3x+\frac{36,389}{12} =y$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is $3x+54+(65)(32)+902-\frac{43}{12}=y$ then we cannot solve it until we know the value of x. We can simplify it using order of operations such as PEMDAS.

$3x+54+(65)(32)+902-\frac{43}{12}=y \\3x+54+2,080+902-\frac{43}{12}=y \\3x+3,036-\frac{43}{12}=y \\3x+\frac{36,432}{12} -\frac{43}{12} =y\\3x+\frac{36,389}{12} =y$
