Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
20, 45
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has 180 degrees interior angle measure. One angle measure 115 so that means the other two angles must add up to 65.
The remaning angles form a ratio of 4:9. This means we must split 65 into a ratio of. 4:9
A ratio partition parts of something. We can add the ratio intergers to find it full length.
4+9=13.
Divide 65/13=5.
Multiply 5x4 and 5x9 serpately.
We get 20 and 45
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
We have been given that a container is shaped like a triangle prism. Each base of container is an equilateral triangle with each side 6 cm. The height of container is 15 cm.
To find the lateral surface area of our given container we will use lateral surface area formula of triangular prism.
, where, a, b and c represent base sides of prism and h represents height of the prism.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,
Therefore, lateral surface area of our given container is 270 square cm.
