3 out of 20 boxes are damaged what percent is damaged?

2 answers:

8 0

'out of' generally indicates division

So 3 out of 20 boxes, is basically the same as 3 ÷ 20.

3 ÷ 20 = 0.15

To work out the percentage, you have to multiply this value by 100 (per CENT, cent means 100 in Latin).

0.15 × 100 = 15%.

The answer is 15% of the boxes are damaged.

Answer: options A, B and C are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Ray's daily pay,P in dollars is given by the function, p(h) = 10h with h representing the number of hours that he worked on that day. If he worked c hours on Thursday and this is 3 hours more than he worked on Friday, then the following statement is true. We substitute c and c-3 for Thursday and Friday into the given function, p(h) = 10h

A) 10c -3 represents Ray's pay in dollars on Friday.

B) 10c represents Ray's pay in dollars on Thursday.

C) p(c ) - p(c-3) represents how much more Ray's pay was on Thursday than on Friday

The first three steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations algebraically are shown.

jolli1 [7]

Since both are equivalent to y, the equations must be equivalent.
x^2-x-3= -3x+5
x^2+2x-8=0

(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=-4, x=2

Plug the values of x in to either equation
y=-3(-4)+5
y= 12+5
y=17

y= -3(2)+5
y=-6+5
y=-1

Final answer: (-4,17) and (2,-1)

Graph the line that has a slope of 6 and includes the point (0,4).

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line with slope 6 and containing the point (0, 4) will be:

$y = 6x+4$

The graph of the line y = 6x+4 is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given

The slope m = 6

The point (0, 4)

The y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and determining the corresponding value of y.

The point (0, 4) indicates that:

at x = 0, y = 4

Thus, the y-intercept b = 4

now substituting b = 4 and m = 6 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

$y = 6x+4$

Thus, the equation of the line with slope 6 and containing the point (0, 4) will be:

$y = 6x+4$

The graph of the line y = 6x+4 is attached below.
