For this case we must find 35% of 280.

Kerrie gets 10% and then 25%. So:

10% of 280:

280 ------------> 100%

x -----------------> 10%

Where "x" represents the amount given by 10% of 280.

x = \frac {10 * 280} {100}\\x = 28

Thus, 10% of 280 is 28.

Now, we find 25% of 280:

280 ------------> 100%

x -----------------> 25%

Where "x" represents the amount given by 25% of 280.

x = \frac {25 * 280} {100}\\x = 70

Thus, 25% of 280 is 70.

So we have that 35% of 280 is given by:

28 + 70 = 98

So, Kerrie's solution is correct.

Option A

Answer:

<h2>Kerrie's solution is correct.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Each step of Kerrie's solution is correct, because 10% + 25% is actually 35%. Also, 10% of 280 is 28, because we divide 280 by 10. The third step is also correct because 25% is the same as the fourth part, or divide by four, because 25% is the fourth part of 100%.

At last, the sum 70 + 28 is also correct, because it results in 98.

Basically, Kerrie made a different process, but it gives the same result. Because we only could do it like this:

\frac{35\%}{100\%}=0.35

Then, 280(0.35)= 98

As you can see, it results the same number.

In converting 540 inches into yards what unit would you place in the numerator of your ratio?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The change division should put the unit to be dispensed with as an afterthought inverse of where it happens in the first inquiry.

540 inches * (1 yard/36 inches)

The inches best and base drop, abandoning you with the outcome in yards.

two angles are supplementary one angle measures 75% more than twice the measure of the other what are the measurement of the two
valkas [14]
Let's call the angles x and y. We know that supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees, so x+y=180.

Furthermore, we know that x is 75% more than 2y. We can write "75% more than" numerically as 1.75, so x = 1.75(2y).

We can simplify the second equation by multiplying 1.75 and 2 together to get x = 3.5y.

Now we can solve the system of equations by substitution by plugging 3.5y in for x in x+y=180.

(3.5y) + y = 180

Combine like terms.

4.5y = 180

Divide by 4.5

y = 40

Plug y = 40 in and solve for x.

x + 40 = 180

x = 140

The answer is 40 and 140. Hope this helps :)

Moving forward a negative distance is the same as moving backward a positive distance.
creativ13 [48]
The answer is: False, because, by definition, the distance (which is a scalar quantity) is the absolute  value of the displacement. This means that the distance cannot be negative, but the displacement (which is define as a vector quantity can be positive or negative.
