What is 15% of "x"<br><br> PLEASE HELP
Greeley [361]

Answer:

  0.15x

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of anything is 15/100 or 0.15 of it. You find that value by multiplying the "anything" by 0.15.

Since we don't know the value of x, the best we can do is show that the number of interest is x multiplied by 0.15.

Answer:

  take your pick. Each has its own reason.

Step-by-step explanation:

As with a lot of "doesn't belong" problems, the one that is different depends on your criteria. In the attached figure, each one "doesn't belong" for a different reason. Those reasons are listed below each number line.

__

I might choose the lower left: "addition, not subtraction", as it is the only one with arrows in the same direction. That makes its difference from the others more obvious, perhaps.

Irrational numbers cannot be written as a ratio…irrational means not rational. All fractions of integers are Rational.
TiliK225 [7]

with the exception of perfect squares, all square root of whole numbers are irrational, e.g. √5

how about this one:

2.34334333433334.... I am increasing the number of 3s each time, thus

creating a decimal which never ends and never repeats.

or

12.3456789101112131415.... can you see what I am doing?

will it ever end? will it ever repeat?

Interest earned: $294<br> Principal: $600<br> Interest rate: 7%<br> Time:
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula for simple interest as

Principal × Rate × Time

To find Time is therefore 100 × Interest/ Principal x Rate

From the above question,

Principal is given as 600;

Interest is 294 and

Rate is 7%

Slot the values into the formula:

100 × 294/ 600 x 7

= 29400/4200

=7

Therefore, Time (T) is 7 years

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest
