<h2>HOW TO: SOLVE AN APPLICATION</h2>
Step 1. Identify what you are asked to find and choose a variable to represent it.
Step 2. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it.
Step 3. Translate the sentence into an equation.
Step 4. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.
Step 5. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.
Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question.
Remember that whatever the application, once we write the sentence with the given information (Step 2), we can translate it to a percent equation and then solve it.
Do you pay a tax when you shop in your city or state? In many parts of the United States, sales tax is added to the purchase price of an item. See Figure 6.7. The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price.
To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
These angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles equals to on another but on the opposite side. Since they equal to another you do:
(10x + 1) = (12x - 5)
Add 5 on both sides:
10x + 6 = 12x
Subtract 10x on both sides:
6 = 2x
Divide 2 on both sides:
3 = x
Answer:
B. Hannah is likely to be incorrect because 9 is not contained in the interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
She construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between means and gets the interval (0.4, 8.0).
This means that there is 99% confidence that the true difference between means is within this interval.
The left 1% corresponds to the tails of the distribution: there is 0.5% probability that the difference between means is below 0.4 and 0.5% probability that the difference between means is above 8.0.
As she claims that 9 hours is the true difference, we can say that there is less than 0.5% that she is correct. In others words, is likely to be incorrect.
When change in one variable is accompanied by the change of another variable in the same direction, they are directly proportional to each other, and it is usually represented by the general equation, y = kx where k is a constant.
X is between 80 and 90, if the square root of a number (x) is 9, you would do 9x9 to solve for x, x=81
