On three 150-point geography tests, you earned grades of 88%, 94%, and 90%. The final test is worth 250 points. What percent do y

You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.

We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:

0.88*150 = 132
0.94*150 = 141
0.9*150 = 135

The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:
150+150+150+250 = 700

93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.

Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651
408 + x = 651

Subtract 408 from both sides:
408+x-408 = 651-408
x = 243

Answer:

You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.

We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:

0.88*150 = 132

0.94*150 = 141

0.9*150 = 135

The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:

150+150+150+250 = 700

93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.

Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651

408 + x = 651

Subtract 408 from both sides:

408+x-408 = 651-408

x = 243

Step-by-step explanation:

You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.

We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:

0.88*150 = 132

0.94*150 = 141

0.9*150 = 135

The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:

150+150+150+250 = 700

93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.

Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651

408 + x = 651

Subtract 408 from both sides:

408+x-408 = 651-408

x = 243

The high temperature was recorded as 25.6°F. The low temperature that same day was recorded as −2.7°F. What was the difference b
VMariaS [17]

28.3

Step-by-step explanation:

the difference is the answer to a subtraction problem so we can plug in our numbers like this

25.6-(-2.7) which equals 28.3

a good thing to remember when subtracting negative numbers is that a positive and negative won't always make a negative like in this example

20 POINTS AND WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF MORE THAN ONE ANSWER!
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

or

Step-by-step explanation:

has:

1) amplitude=|a|

2) phase shift=b

3) period=2pi/c

d) vertical shift=d

--------------------------------------------------

You are given the amplitude is 2. This means a could either be 2 or -2.

You are given phase shift is -1/8. This means b is -1/8.

You are given the period is pi. So we need to solve pi=2pi/c.

pi=2pi/c

Dividing both sides by pi gives:

1=2/c

Multiply both sides by c gives:

c=2

The vertical shift is -2 so d=-2.

The equation could either be:

y=2cos(2(x-(-1/8)))-2

or

y=-2cos(2(x-(-1/8)))-2

Simplifying a little gives:

y=2cos(2x+1/4)-2

y=-2cos(2x+1/4)-2

The length of a rectangular floor is 4 feet longer than its width w. The area of the floor is 525 ft^2.
andre [41]

Answer:

  • 525 = (w+4)(w)
  • 21 ft by 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the floor. Then the length of the floor is (w+4) and its area is ...

  A = LW

  525 = (w+4)(w)

  w^2 +4w -525 = 0

  (w -21)(w +25) = 0 . . . . factor the above

Solutions are ...

  w = 21, w = -25

We are interested in the positive solution: w = 21.

The floor is 21 feet wide and 25 feet long.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Sometimes, when the factors aren't obvious, it works well to write an equation for the average of the dimensions. Here, we can represent that with x, and use (x-2) for the width, and (x+2) for the length. Then we have ...

  525 = (x-2)(x+2) = x^2 -4

  529 = x^2

  √529 = 23 = x

Then w=23 -2 = 21, and the length is w+4 = 25.
