Answer:

He made approximately 32 free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there's a typo in the question and that he made 57% of his attempted free throws, then we can solve it as shown below:

We can apply a rule of three in order to calculate the number of free throws he made. This is done as follows:

56 free throws -> 100%

x free throws -> 57%

56/x = 100/57

100*x = 57*56

x = 57*56/100 = 31.92

It can also be solved by transforming the percentage in a fraction such as 57% = 57/100 and then multiplying it by the total attempts.

free throws made = 56*57/100 = 31.92

He made approximately 32 free throws.

Answer:

Option B. $\$3,844.30$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+rt)$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=1\ years\\ P=\$3,700\\r=0.039$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$3,700(1+0.039*1)=\$3,844.30$

Determine if the given ordered pair is a solution to the equation. Show work full.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The ordered pair is not a solution of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of a linear equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the linear equation

we have

$y=-3x-13$

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of the given ordered pair in the linear equation and analyze the results

For x=-1, y=15

$15=-3(-1)-13$

$15=3-13$

$15=-10$ ----> is not true

the ordered pair not satisfy the equation

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the equation

scoray [572]

Simplifying √196 before doing the multiplication:
( √196 ÷ 7 ) × √48
= ( (√4 × √49) ÷ 7 ) × √48
= ( (2 × 7) ÷ 7 ) × √48
= 2√48
Simplifying √48:
= 2 × √16 × √3
= 2 × 4 × √3
= 8√3
which is irrational because it's a square root
