Answer:

  1. $10.17
  2. $70.57

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The change in value was 12.6% of $80.74, calculated as ...

  0.126×$80.74 = $10.17324 ≈ $10.17

__

2. The new price is lower than the price yesterday by that amount, so is ...

  $80.74 -10.17 = $70.57

_____

<em>Note on percents</em>

A percent should be no mystery. The word "per cent" literally means "per hundred", or "/100" in symbols. The symbol "%" is a shorthand way to write "/100". So 12.6% means 12.6/100 = 126/1000 = 0.126.

When written as a decimal, the units digit of a percent is placed in the hundredths digit of the decimal number, as you can see in the example above. (The "2" in "12.6" is in the hundredths place in 0.126.)

Generally percentages are used to express ratios. They are usually a "pure number" with no units attached. Since they are a ratio, they are generally useless unless you know what the numbers involved in the ratio are. Here, the denominator of the ratio, the "base" or "reference", is yesterday's stock price. The percentage is described as the drop in price since yesterday, so it is the ratio ...

  <em>(drop in price since yesterday)/(yesterday's price)</em>

Both of these values have units of dollars, so the numerator units cancel the denominator units and what is left is a pure number. The ratio is 0.126, so to express it as a percentage, we multiply it by 100%. Of course, 100% = 100/100 = 1, so we haven't changed the value; we've only changed the way it is presented. That is ...

  0.126 = 0.126 × 100% = 12.6%

_____

<em>Additional note on decimals and percents</em>

You may hear that to convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply it by 100. That is only partly right. Multiplying anything by 100 changes its value by that factor. When you change a decimal to a percentage, the goal is <em>not</em> to change the <em>value</em>, merely the <em>form</em>. What you actually want to do is multiply by 100% = 100/100. In the example we're using here, this looks like ...

  0.126 × 100/100 = 12.6/100 = 12.6% . . . . . . remember that % means /100.

9) If m/1 = 45° and 21 and 22 are complementary angles. Find m22.​
Allisa [31]

❄ Hi there,

keeping in mind that the sum of complementary angles is 90°,

set up an equation, letting \angle2  be x  –

\triangleright \ \sf{\angle1+x=90}                 {and we know that \boxed{\angle1=45}}

\triangleright \ \sf{45+x=90}

\triangleright \ \sf{x=90-45}

\triangleright \ \sf{x=45}

\triangleright \ \sf{\angle2=45\textdegree}

      __________

Keeping in mind that a right angle is 90°,

set up an equation, letting \angle1 be x:

\triangleright \ \sf{x+\angle2=90}                       {and we know that \boxed{\angle2=63}}

\triangleright \ \sf{x+63=90}

\triangleright \ \sf{x=27}

\triangleright \ \sf{\angle1=47\textdegree}

PLEASE HELP ME MY BRIAN IS LIKE PUTTY 50 points for correct answerr
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Part A :

The scale factor of the dilation that transforms triangle PQR to triangle P'Q'R' is divided by 3.

Part B :

P"(-1,2), Q"(0,3), R"(1,0)

Part C :

Triangle PQR and P"Q"R" are not congruent because congruent means equal and similar but triangle PQR and P"Q"R" are proportional because they are rational to each other but do not have the same measures of sides but the angles are congruent.

This is the graphing of the triangle.

4n - 2n = 4<br><br>what's the answer for this ?
Mademuasel [1]
Hey there!
First, we will do the subtraction with the two like terms on the left. I know they're like terms because although they have different coefficients, they have the same variable.
We have:
2n=4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
n = 2
Hope this helps!
