ased. Mr. Porter writes the equation below to express the current value of his house. d+0.21d=1.21d d+0.21d=1.21d Mr. Porter claims that the value of his house has increased by 121% 121%, since 1.21 is equal to 121% 121%. Decide if Mr. Porter is correct. If he is correct, enter 121 below. If he is not correct, enter the correct percent increase.

Answer:

Mr. Porter's claim was not correct and it will be a 21% increment.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the house when Mr. Porter bought the house was d.

The present value of the house is given by d + 0.21d = 1.21d.

Hence, the increase in the value of the house is 0.21 d and the final value of the house is 1.21d.

So, if Mr. Porter claims that the value of his house has increased by 121%, then his claim is wrong. The increase in value is only by 0.21d i.e. by 21% and after this increment, the value becomes 1.21d i.e. 121%.

Therefore, his claim is not correct and it will be a 21% increment. (Answer)

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below. one angle is 102 and the other angle is 48 and the third one is x
lora16 [44]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know all the angles have to add up to 180 degrees, you add 102 and 48. That is 150. 180 degrees-150 degrees equals 30 degrees.

If the 10th of the 10 consecutive numbers is 10, what is their sum?
liq [111]
Represent these consecutive numbers (assuming that they are all integers):

x
x+1
x+2
x+3
x+4
x+5
and so on
x+8
x+9 is the tenth number.  x+9 = 10, so x = 9.

Think of it this way:  there are 10 consecutive numbers, and the last one is 10.

Working backwards, we get the sequence 10, 9, ... 3, 2, 1.

The sum of such an arith sequence is equal to the count of the numbers times the average of the first and last terms:

sum here = 10(1+10)/2 = 5(11) = 55          (answer)

Students are painting a mural. So far the mural is painted 1/4 blue 2/8 red and 3/12 green. Use fraction strips to determine how
nirvana33 [79]
If you make the denominators all the same, the fractions are 3/12 , 3/12 , and 3/12. Then by simply adding them together you get that the mural is 9/12 painted. that then simplifies to  3/4 or 75%

Hope this helps :)
