Answer:

£ 631

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi this is a simple mathematics issue.

First, let's imagine what is 3%. '3 percents' means 3/100. If your family have 100 apples and you have 3 apples, that means you have 3% of your family apples.

Now, get back to this problem. We need to find the price before increase. Let's say the price was £ X. Now we will find the X number.

It's said that the price was increased by 3%. That means they took 3% of X and added that amount to X to have the new price : £ 650. That means we have this equation :

650 = X + 3%×X

Let's make it easier to look :

650 = X + 3/100 ×X

650 = X×( 1+ 3/100)

= X × 103/100

So we can see 650 is equaled to X multipled by 103/100.

To find the correct answer, simply divide 650 by 103/100.

*A hint: When you divide a number by a fraction, you can simply put the number multiplied by the "flipped" fraction .

Answer:

2. y intercept is at 0 because it needs to go through the origin if it is proportional

3. y intercept is positive the line crosses above 0. when y intercept negative the line crosses below 0

4. y intercept is 0

5. y intercept is 1.8. it represents the time remaining as its starting timer.

6. (0, 1). y intercept is 1

7. y intercept is -4

8. y intercept is 0

Which equation below does NOT represent a function of X A) x=y^2 B) y=x C) y = |x| D) y=x^2 E) y=1

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A) $x = y^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is a function of $x$ when $x$ is the independent variable, that is:

$y = f(x)$ (1)

Where $y$ is the dependent variable.

According to this, $x = y^{2}$ does not represent a function of $x$ , since the independent variable is a function of $y$ , that is, $x = f(y)$ . Therefore, the correct answer is A.

In stage 2 of a rocket's takeoff, the speed of the rocket increases at a rate of 4.3% per minute. The speed of the rocket at the

Sveta_85 [38]

The correct option is: B. $25000=5000(1.043)^t$

Explanation

The general form of growth equation is: $A=P(1+r)^t$ , where A = final amount, P = initial amount, r = growth rate in decimal form and t = time duration

Here, the speed of the rocket at the beginning was 5,000 kilometers per hour and at the end will be 25,000 kilometers per hour. The speed increases at a rate of 4.3% per minute.

That means, $A= 25000 , P= 5000, r= 4.3\% = 0.043$

Now plugging these values into the above equation, we will get......

$25000=5000(1+0.043)^t\\ \\ 25000=5000(1.043)^t$

So, the equation that could be used to determine the time for the speed of the rocket to reach 25,000 kilometers per hour will be: $25000=5000(1.043)^t$

Christina goes to the market with $50. She buys one papaya for $8 and spends the rest of the money on bananas. Each banana costs

velikii [3]

Christina can buy 7 bananas because one papaya is 8 dollars and then you do 50-8=42 and then 42/6 which equals 7.

Billy can only buy one pair of jeans. The reason is that jeans are 35 bucks and he has already spent 55 dollars on a hat and jacket and that leaves him with 35 bucks left so 35-35 equals zero!
