When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
In the table what are the donain and range of the function relating the pressure and volume of an idea
1/3 = 2/6
so 2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6 or 1 1/6
1 1/6 + 1 = 2 1/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ohn will need to sleep for 10.3 hours before his second exam so that the
he average of his two exam scores is an 80.
We were given
8 hours of sleep = 70
To get an average of 80
70+ x = 80
2
Cross multiply:
70+x = 160
x= 160-70
= 90.
If 8 hours of sleep = 70
x hours of sleep = 90
Cross multiply
8× 90 = 70 × x
720 = 70x
x = 720/70
x = 10.2857
≈ 10.3 hours of sleep
