The goal here is to find the cost of the painting BEFORE the 60% increase.

To find the cost of the painting, we must take in the information we already have:

Increase percent: 60%
Original price: unknown
Price after increase: $400

$400 is the price of the painting AFTER the increase has been added. So this equals the cost of the painting before the increase, plus the total amount of the increase (which is 60% of the original price).

The total must be (100% + 60% = 160%) 160% of the original painting price.

To find the original price, we must divide the increased price by the new percentage (160%). But how do we get here?

Well, we have 160% and our (fraction) $400/1%. We will have to switch the 160% and the 1%, giving us..

1% $400/160%

We take 400/160, which is 2.5. But this is only 1% of the original price! We want 100%.

So now, we multiply the 2.5 by 100 to get our answer: $250.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Can someone answer this question please please help me I really need it if it’s correct I will mark you brainliest .
Ilya [14]

Triangle:

A = 3 x 9 x 1/2 = 13.5

Large rectangle (center):

A = 9 x 12 = 108

Medium rectangle:

A = 4 x 6 = 24

Small rectangle (bottom):

A = 4 x 2 = 8

Figure:

A = 13.5 + 108 + 24 + 8 = 153.5 square feet

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.4 inches.

The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 7.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = head breadths of men that is considered for the helmets.

The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 6.1 and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 1.

To compute the probability of a normal distribution we first need to convert the raw scores to <em>z</em>-scores using the formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

It is provided that the helmets will be designed to fit all men except those with head breadths that are in the smallest 4.3% or largest 4.3%.

Compute the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele as follows:

P (X < x) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.043

The value of <em>z</em> for this probability is:

<em>z</em> = -1.717

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\-1.717=\frac{x-6.1}{1}\\x=6.1-(1.717\times 1)\\x=4.383\\x\approx4.4

Thus, the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.4 inches.

Compute the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele as follows:

P (X > x) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z > z) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 1 - 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.957

The value of <em>z</em> for this probability is:

<em>z</em> = 1.717

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\1.717=\frac{x-6.1}{1}\\x=6.1+(1.717\times 1)\\x=7.817\\x\approx7.8

Thus, the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 7.8 inches.

How do you solve this
arlik [135]
The answer is 1,800, you would multiply 5 by 10 which is 50 then t would be 50 to the 4th power 50 times 4 is 200. then you do the same on the other side 3 time 10 which is 30 to the second power which is 90 than you multiply 200 and 90 because when you have two parentheses next to each other you always multiply but when you do that your answer turns out to be 1,800
