For this case we can make the following rule of three:
90.00 $ -----------------> 100%
$ 108.00 ---------------> x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
$x = (108/90) * (100)

x = 120$
Then, the percentage of increase is:
$120 - 100 = 20
$
Answer:
The percentage increase of the cost of the jacket is 20%

Please help me with missing angles

saul85 [17]

Answer:

u = 40° , v = 40° and x = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

i) from the rule of triangle we know that the sum of all three angles = 180°

ii) 100° + 40° + y = 180°. Therefore y = 40°. where y is the angle adjacent to v.

iii) from theorem on parallel lines we can say that u = y =40°

iv) from the properties of parallel lines we get v = 40° as interior alternate angles are equal.

v) again from the properties of parallel lines we get u = 40°

vi) using the triangle property as in i) we can see that u + v + x =180° therefore 40° + 40° + x = 180°. Therefore x = 100°.

vii) Therefore u = 40° , v = 40° and x = 100°

natita [175]

Y = -10x + 1

-10x is the slope, 1 is the y-intercept :)

In what form is the following linear equation written?

krok68 [10]

Answer:

<h2>B. Standard</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The standard form of an equation of a line:

$Ax+By=C$

The general fom of an equation of a line:

$Ax+By+C$

We have the equation 3x - 2y = 4 in standard form.

What is the greatest number of cubes with a side of 1.5cm that can fit in the box with dimensions 16cm ×5cm ×12cm? Please help m

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 284 cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying its dimensions.

Knowing that the dimensions of this box are $16cm*5cm*12cm$ , we get that the volume of the box is:

$V_{box}=16cm *5cm *12cm=960cm^3$

The formula for calculate the volume of a cube is:

$V=s^3$

Where "s" is the lenght of a side.

Kwnowing that the a cube has a side of 1.5 cm, we get that the volume of one cube is:

$V_{cube}=(0.5cm)^3=3.375cm^3$

Dividing $V_{box}$ by $V_{cube}$ we get the greatest number of cubes that can fit in the box:

$number\ of\ cubes=\frac{960cm^3}{3.375cm^3}=284$
