<h2>We know:</h2>

You currently make $13.50 an hour. You've earned a 15% pay raise. You want to find out your previous rate of pay per hour.


<h2>Steps:</h2>

1.) Convert 15% to a decimal, which equals 0.15


2.) Multiply your current earnings with the percentage in decimal form (0.15)

$13.50 (current pay per hour) x 0.15 (percentage in decimal form) = $2.025 (difference between your previous wage and your current wage)


3.) Subtract the difference of your previous wage and current wage with your current earnings

$13.50 (current pay per hour) - $2.025 (difference between previous and current wage) = $11.475 (previous pay per hour)


4.) Since this is talking about wage, rounding is not applicable. In other cases, your number would be rounded off to $11.48, however you can't add what you don't have, so you would have to round down.


<h2>You were previously making $11.47 an hour.</h2>

HELP! Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-3, -4) and passes through the origin.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Option B. (x+3) ^2+(y+4)^2=25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the circle in standard form is equal to

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where

(h,k) is the center and r is the radius

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

Remember that the distance of the center and any point on the circle is equal to the radius of the circle

so

Find the distance between the points (-3,-4) and (0,0)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

substitute

r=\sqrt{(0+4)^{2}+(0+3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{25}

r=5\ units

step 2

Find the equation of the circle

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

the center is the point (-3,-4) and the radius is r=5 units

substitute

(x+3)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=5^{2}

(x+3)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=25
