The midpoint is calculated by averaging the coordinates of its endpoints:

$M = \left(\dfrac{-2+8}{2},\dfrac{0+2}{2}\right)=(3,1)$

Now we can use the usual distance formula to get the length of SM:

$SM=\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(8-1)^2}=\sqrt{1+49}=\sqrt{50}$

What is 575% written as a mixed number?

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

575% as a mixed number is $5\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

575% is equivalent to $\frac{575}{100}$ which is equal to 5.75

5.75 = 5 + 0.75

0.75 can be written as $\frac{75}{100}$ . This value can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25. This would give us $\frac{3}{4}$

Back to our number:

$5.75 = 5 + 0.75 = 5 + \frac{75}{100} = 5 + \frac{3}{4} = 5\frac{3}{4}$

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, do you mean what is the final charge? If so, then look at my next steps

If you mean the final charge then first multiply 10% by 360 , basically 10/100 multiplied by $360 which is equals to $36. Since it is interest, add $36 to $360. The answer will be $396. Then you add on the $19 which would bring the total to $415.
