Answer:£43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We minus 15 from 100 to get the percentage represented by 36.72

We are using 100 because it represents the total which is unknown

We cross multiple and get our answer

36.72=85%

X =100%

100×36.72÷85=43.2

We can use the is/of=p/100 method for this problem. Since it's 15% off, this would mean that the bill is 85% of what it was initially. Plug the values into the is/of=p/100 formula.

36.72/x = 85/100

Solve for x.

x=36.72/0.85

x=43.2

So, the bill was $43.20 before applying the voucher discount of 15% off.

Write the equation of the sphere in standard form. x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2x − 4y − 6z = 22

madam [21]

The equation $x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2} +2x-4y-6z=22$ in standard form looks like $(x+1)^{2} +(y-2)^{2} +(z-3)^{2} =(6)^{2}$ .

Given equation of sphere be $x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2} +2x-4y-6z=22$ .

We are required to express the given equation in the standard form of the equation of sphere.

Equation is basically relationship between two or more variables that are expressed in equal to form. Equation of two variables look like ax+by=c. It may be linear equation,quadratic equation, cubic equation or many more depending on the powers of variables. The standard form of the equation of sphere looks like $x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2} =r^{2}$ .
