Answer: The speed of the motorboat in still water is 45mph

The current rate is 9mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u be the motorboat speed in still water and v be the current rate.

The effective speed going upstream is

Distance÷Time = 108÷3 = 36mph

It is the DIFFERENCE of the motorboat speed in still water and the rate of the current. It gives you your first equation

u - v = 36. (1)

The effective speed going downstream is

Distance÷Time = 108÷2 = 54mph

It is the SUM of the motorboat speed in still water and the rate of the current. It gives you your second equation

u + v = 54. (2)

Thus you have this system of two equations in 2 unknowns

u - v = 36, (1) and

u + v = 54. (2)

Add the two equations. You will get

2u = 36 + 54 = 90 ====> u = 90÷2 = 45mph

So, you just found the speed of the motorboat in still water. It is 45mph

Then from the equation (2) you get v = 54 = 45 = 9mph is the current rate.

Answer. The speed of the motorboat in still water is 45mph

The current rate is 9mph

What is 30% of $40 and I don’t know what else to type
miskamm [114]

Answer:

30% of $40 would be $12

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out you can do cross multiplication. Take 30 over 100 like a fraction (30/100) and then that equals x over 40 (x/40), x being 30% of $40. then you would multiply diagonally. 100 times X and 30 times 40 getting you to 100x = 1200 then isolate the variable so there is no numbers with it, meaning you have to divide both sides by 100. 100x divided by 100= X and 1200 divided by 100= 12. So X=12, meaning 30% of $40 is $12.

Cw 10.5 10.5 V. W<br> A great
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Refer to step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

12.  x = 28

BC = x

AB = 96

AC = 100

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of x.

a² + b² = c²

x² + 96² = 100²

x² + 9216 = 10000

x² = 10000-9216

x² = 784

√x² = √784

x = 28

13. x = 64

a² + b² = c²

48² + x² = 80²

2304 + x² = 6400

x² = 6400 - 2304

x² = 4096

√x² = √4096

x = 64

14. YES and 25 = 25

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = 5²

9 + 16 = 25

25 = 25

So this means that AB is tangent to the circle.

15. NO and 45 ≠ 49

a² + b² = c²

3² + 6² = 7²

9 + 36 = 49

45 = 49

So this means the AB is not tangent to the circle.

16. x = 4.5 and P = 52

To find the value of x, we need to determine the value of our hypotenuse.

QU is congruent to QT, therefore, QT = 4

UR is congruent with SR, therefore, UR = 13

PS is congruent to AB, therefore:

2x = 9

Divide both sides by 2

x = 4.5

The perimeter of a triangle is:

P = a + b + c

a = 9 + 4 or 13

b = 2(4.5) + 13 or 22

c = 4 + 13 or 17

P = 13 + 22 + 17

P = 52

17. x = 13 and P = 72

TJ is congruent to UJ, therefore, TJ = 13

x = 13

The perimeter of a parallelogram is:

P = 2(a+b)

a = HR + RK

b = KU + UJ

a = 13 + 5 or 18

b = 5 + 13 or 18

P = 2(18 + 18)

P = 2(36)

P = 72

18. x = 8 and P = 80

We know that part of the whole of 26 is 18 because one side is congruent to 18.

to find the value of the other half, we simply subtract 18 from 26.

26 - 18 = 8

x is congruent to 8, therefore x = 8

The line segment 14 is congruent to the opposite segment of x, therefore making the value 14.

So then we have:

a = 8 + 14 or 22

b = 26

c = 18 + 14 or 32

P = a + b + c

P = 22 + 26 + 32

P = 80

19. x = 6 and P = 52

Now we have the case of x + 2 is congruent to 8.

x + 2 = 8

Combine like terms.

x = 8 - 2

x = 6

Now that we have the value of x, we can simply look for the value of the line segment attached to it.

4 is congruent to the line segment attached to x + 2, therefore the value is 4.

To find the perimeter we have to add all sides together.

P = (8+5)+(5+9)+(9+4)+(8+4)

P = 52

20. x = 5, y = 2, z =10, and P = 68

Let's take this one step at a time.

First we look for x.

2x + 2 = 3x - 3

Combine like terms.

2x - 3x = -3 - 2

-x = -5

Divide both sides by -1.

x = 5

Now let's get the value of y.

5y - 2 = 3y + 2

Combine like terms.

5y - 3y = 2 + 2

2y = 4

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 2

Now let's look for z.

34 - 2z = z + 4

Combine like terms.

-2z - z = 4 - 34

-3z = -30

Divide both sides by -3.

z = 10

Now that we have the values of x, y, and z. We can substitute them to find the values of our segments.

2x + 2

2(5) + 2 = 12

3x - 3

3(5)-3 = 12

5y - 2

5(2) - 2 = 8

3y + 2

3(2) + 2 = 8

z + 4

10 + 4 = 14

34 - 2z

34 - 2(10)

34 - 20 = 14

Now that we have our values let's look for our perimeter.

P = a + b + c

P = (12 + 8) + (12 + 14) + (14 + 8)

P = 20 + 26 + 22

P = 68

A store is hoping an advertising campaign will increase their number of customers by 30%. They currently have about 80 customers
leonid [27]

Answer:

There will be 104 customers a day, after advertising campaign

Step-by-step explanation:

Current number of customers in a day in shop = 80

After advertising campaign, the customers will increase = 30%

So, new customers will be:

We can find new customers by adding new 30% customers to the current 80 customers.

First find 30% of 80

30\% \  of \ 30\\=\frac{30}{100}*80\\=24

Now, add 24 to current 80 customers.

Number of customers = 80+24 = 104

So, there will be 104 customers a day, after advertising campaign
