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.

Linda is making a mosaic stepping stone to place in

Lorico [155]

Answer:

D 565.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the area of the stepping stone. The rule for area of circle is pi times radius squared. To find the radius you divide 12 by 2 = 6. After you do 6 times 6= 36 you multiply 36 times pi (3.14) = 113.04. After we find the are of the stepping stone we multiply it by five to get how many inches we have to cover. 113.04 times 5= 565.2 in.

Find the angle θ between u = <7, –2> and v = <–1, 2>.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The angle between two vectors is:

CosФ = u - v / Magnitude(u) x magnitude(v)

Magnitude of u = SQRT(7^2 + -2^2) = SQRT(49 +4) = SQRT(53)

Magnitude of v = SQRT(-1^2 +2^2) = SQRT(1 +4) = SQRT(5)

u x v = (7 x -1) + (-2 x 2) = -7 + -4 = -11

cosФ = -11 / sqrt(53) x sqrt(5)

cosФ = -11sqrt265) / 265

Ф =cos^-1(-11sqrt265) / 265)
