Whenever you need to find the percentage OF a number (often money), you just convert that percentage to a decimal (just move the decimal to the left twice so 40% becomes 0.40, 10.5% becomes 0.105, 2% becomes 0.02, etc) and MULTIPLY that decimal by the amount/number you need to find the percentage of.

For example, find the 20% commission of a $10,000 car sale
Calculation:
0.20x$10000 = $2000
Answer:
the commission would be $2000

That’s how you do it. I hope that helps. You should be able to solve it on your own now.

100% = 1.0
2.5% = 0.025

So now we know the decimal that corresponds to 2.5%, so all we have to do is multiply the price of the boat by this value in order to find the commission earned:

18 500 x 0.025 = $462.50

Write 2/15 as a decimal.

Cloud [144]

If you need to write a number as a decimal, it means that you need to write is a an x divided by a power of 10.
you can use this formula:
$\frac{2}{15} = \frac{x}{10}$

now let's multiply both sides by 10:
$\frac{20}{15} = x$
and simplyfy:
(by dividing the first fraction's elements by 5)
$\frac{4}{3} = x$

change improper fraction into a mixed number
$1\frac{1}{3} = x$

and 1 over 3 is 0.33333...

so the answer is 1.333333 - we can also write it as 1.(3)

Identify the values that should be written to complete the X diagram.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

See the attachment for what goes on your X diagram.

Rewrite: x² -7x +4x -28

Grouping: (x² -7x) +(4x -28) = x(x -7) +4(x -7) = (x +4)(x -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic is ...

... x² -3x -28 . . . . . a=1, b=-3, c=-28

a) The value at the top of the X diagram is the product a·c = 1·(-28) = -28.

The value at the bottom of the X diagram is the coefficient b = -3.

The values on the sides of the diagram are the factors of -28 that add up to make -3. These are -7 and 4. That is, ...

(-7)·(4) = -28

(-7)+(4) = -3

b) Since the two values on the sides of the diagram add up to give "b", the value of "b" in the equation can be rewritten as the sum of these two numbers. Doing that, we have ...

... x² -3x -28

... = x² +(-7+4)x -28

... = x² -7x +4x -28 . . . . . . order does not matter. It could also be x² +4x -7x -28

c) We can group pairs of terms in the rewritten expression and factor each pair.

... = (x² -7x) +(4x -28) . . . . . first pair has a common factor of x; second pair, 4

... = x(x -7) +4(x -7) . . . . . . . these terms now have a common factor: (x -7)

... = (x +4)(x -7) . . . . . . . . . . the complete factorization of x² -3x -28
