INCREMENT

430-400=30

PERCENTAGE

(30/400)*100

(30/40)*100

300/40=

7.5% is your final answer

I hope I could help

Answer:

The percentage increase is 7.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of renting the cottage last year = £400,

While its cost in present = £430,

So,

$\text{Percentage change in cost}=\frac{\text{Present cost-Last year cost}}{\text{Last year cost}}\times 100$

$=\frac{430-400}{400}\times 100$

$=\frac{3000}{400}$

$=7.5\%$

Hence, the percentage increase in cost is 7.5%.

A prop assistant needs to rent a telescope to use for a scene in a movie. One company charges $57 per day plus a flat fee of $32

vovangra [49]

The number of days for both Companies to have the same total amount is

6.4 days

<h3>Word Problem leading to Algebraic expression</h3>

Given Data

Let the total payment be y

Let the number of days be x

Company A

Charges per day = $57

Flat fee = $32

y = 57x+ 32 -----------------1

Company B

Charges per day = $62

Flat fee = $0

y = 62x + 0-----------------2

Equating 1 and 2 we have

57x+ 32 = 62x+ 0

Solving for x we have

62x-57x = 32

5x = 32

Divide both sides by 5

x = 32/5

x = 6.4 days

Assume Cylinder A and Cone B are the same height and the bases have the same radius. If A has a volume of 18π cm3, what is the v

disa [49]

Answer:

Option A $V_B=19\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is:

$V_B = \pi\frac{hr ^ 2}{3}$

The volume of a cylinder is:

$V_A = \pi(r ^ 2)h$

Both figures have the same height h and the same radius r.

The volume of the cylinder $V_A = 18\pi\ cm ^ 3$

We want to find the volume of the cone.

Then, we find r and h:

$V_A = 18\pi = \pi(r ^ 2)h$

We simplify.

$V_A = 18 = (r ^ 2)h$

Then the product of $(r ^ 2)h = 18$ .

We substitute this in the cone formula and get:

$V_B =\frac{\pi}{3}(18)\\\\V_B = \frac{18}{3}\pi\\\\V_B=19\ cm^3$

Bonus: Mr. Rao is planning on making a shed in his backyard (see his plan in the image below). However, local laws require sheds

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

North 10 feet, and East 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that North is ^ way. We also know that East is > way.

These are the two directions we must go, since the property line is both South and West of the shed.

The shed is 10ft East of the property line, and we must be 15ft in that direction. So we must go another 5ft East.

Now, the shed is 5ft North of the property line, and we must be 15ft in that direction. So we must go another 10 feet North.

Hope this helps!
