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 .

At higher altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures. This relationship between altitude and boiling point is linear. At an al

Mashutka [201]

Let's assume

boiling point is y

altitude is x

we are given

This relationship between altitude and boiling point is linear

At an altitude of 1000 feet, water boils at 210°F

so, first point is (1000,210)

so, x1=1000 , y1=210

At an altitude of 3000 feet, water boils at 206°F

so, second point is (3000,206)

so, x2=3000,y2=206

now, we can find slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

now, we can plug values

$m=\frac{206-210}{3000-1000}$

$m=-\frac{1}{500}$

now, we can use point slope form of line

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

so, we can plug it

$y-210=-\frac{1}{500}(x-1000)$

so, point slope form of line is

$y-210=-\frac{1}{500}(x-1000)$

now, we can plug x=8000

and then we can solve for y

$y-210=-\frac{1}{500}(8000-1000)$

$y=196$

So,

the boiling point of water at an altitude of 8000 feet is 196°F..........Answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3x + 5}{2x + 7}$ = 5

do cross multiplication

3x + 5 = 5(2x + 7)

3x + 5 = 10x + 35

5 - 35 = 10x - 3x

-30 = 7x

-30/7 = x

since there are 7 angles given it means that the polygon is heptagon as heptagon has 7 sides.

sum of interior angle of heptagon = (n-2)*180

(7-2)*180

5*180

900

Now ,

110 + 90 + 150 + 102 + 110 + 170 + x = 900

732 + x = 900

x = 900 - 732

x = 168 degree

20 B

since 5 angles are given it means that the polygon is pentagon as pentagon has 5 sides.

sum of interior angles of a pentagon = (n-2)*180

(5-2)*180

3*180

540 degree

Now ,

110 + 95 + 120 + 114 + x = 540

465 + x = 540

x = 540 - 465

x = 75 degree

let one rational number be x

according to the question,

1/7 * x = 2

x/7 = 2

do cross multiplication

x = 14

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6/4=(6-1)/(4-x)

6/4=5/(4-x)

6(4-x)=4(5)

24-6x=20

-6x=-4

x=4/6

x=2/3

2/3 of an inch should be cut off the width.
