Hello! Based on this problem, 68 is part of a whole. To solve it, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

68/x = 85/100

Cross multiply the sections. 68 * 100 is 6,800 and 85 * x is 85x. So you get 6,800 = 85x. Now, divide each side by 85 to isolate the x. 85x/85 cancels out. 6,800/85 is 80. We can check this answer by multiplying 80 by 85%. 80 * 85% (0.85) is 68. There's our answer. 68 is 85% of 80.

Sara receives a 9% commission on every car she sells. The car dealership paid $20,000 for a car from an auction. The next day th

Paladinen [302]

Hey there! Your answer to this problem is 2160..

Explanantion:

Since every car Sara sells, she gets 9% of the commission, this means that at the last few step, we would have to give 9% of the total cost to Sara.

If 100% is 20,000, then 50% would be 10,000. But we have to find the cost of 20%. So what we would actually be doing is multiplying 20 with 0.01. 20x0.01 is 0.2 or 0.20.

Then you add the 4,000 to the 20,000 because it states, “the next day, they sold the car 20% more than they paid. This means that you’ll have to add it. 20,000 plus 4000 would be 24,000. So 24,000 would be the cost of the car they sold.

However they didn’t wanna know the cost of the car, they wanted to know how much Sara would get. So you would have to take 9% of the cost of the cost which would be 2,160.

Final result: $2,160

Let g be the function given by g(x)=limh→0sin(x h)−sinxh. What is the instantaneous rate of change of g with respect to x at x=π

lorasvet [3.4K]

The instantaneous rate of change of g with respect to x at x = π/3 is 1/2.

<h3>How to determine the instantaneous rate of change of a given function</h3>

The instantaneous rate of change at a given value of $x$ can be found by concept of derivative, which is described below:

$g(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Where $h$ is the difference rate.

In this question we must find an expression for the instantaneous rate of change of $g$ if $f(x) = \sin x$ and evaluate the resulting expression for $x = \frac{\pi}{3}$ . Then, we have the following procedure below:
