Answer:

percentage change=25% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $15.60 to $11.70 .

To find: What is the percent change .

Solution: We have given that $15.60 to $11.70 .

Change = final value - initial value .

Change = $15.60 - $11.70

=$3.9

percentage change = $\frac{change}{original value}*100$

= $\frac{3.9}{15.60}*100$

= $\frac{390}{1560}*100$ .

On dividing both number by 3

percentage change= $\frac{130}{520}*100$ .

percentage change= $\frac{1}{4}*100$ .

percentage change=25% .

Therefore, percentage change=25% .

Rewrite the problem as an equation

11.70 = 15.60 × x
11.70/15.60 = x

x = .75

Multiply by 100 (move decimal 2 places to the right) to Co vertical to percentage.

x = 75%

An airplane travels 6111 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours and 7911 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. Wh

Answer:

Speed of the plane in still air: $779\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ .

Windspeed: $100\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that $x\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ is the speed of the plane in still air, and that $y\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ is the speed of the wind.

When the plane is travelling against wind, the ground speed of this plane (speed of the plane relative to the ground) would be $(x - y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ .
When this plane is travelling in the same direction as the wind, the ground speed of this plane would be $(x + y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ .

The question states that when going against the wind ( $v = (x - y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ ,) the plane travels $6111\; {\rm km}$ in $9\; {\rm h}$ . Hence, $9\, (x - y) = 6111$ .

Similarly, since the plane travels $7911\; {\rm km}$ in $9\; {\rm h}$ when travelling in the same direction as the wind ( $v = (x + y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ ,) $9\, (x + y) = 7911$ .

Add the two equations to eliminate $y$ . Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate $x$ . Solve this system of equations for $x$ and $y$ : $x = 779$ and $y = 100$ .

Hence, the speed of this plane in still air would be $779\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ , whereas the speed of the wind would be $100\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}$ .

3. The formula to find the surface area of a sphere is to take the radius of the sphere and square it and multiply that amount b

KatRina [158]

The way to get the equation for the radius (r) is to get r by itself. So divide each side by 4pi
500/4pi=r^2
Now take the square root of each side to get the equation of r.
sqrt(500/4pi)=r

What’s the result ????????????????

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You must multiply (2x + 3) by (x + 4). I use the FOIL method.

(2x + 3)(x + 4)

Multiply

2x² + 8x +3x + 12

Simplify

2x² + 11x + 12

To check the answer, you could factor this trinomial back into a pair of binomials.
