Answer:

119/100 = 357/X

Step-by-step explanation:

since 357 is the price with the extra 19% tax, you can put 119 and 357 as numerators in a fraction because thats the price % of total cost with the tax, then have the denominators as the normal price without tax. so 119/100 bc 119 is the total cost % with tax, and 100 as the normal cost %. same for the opposite side, 357/X. 357 being the price with the tax and X being the price without the tax. so you just cross multiply to find X. so 100 × 357 (35,700) then divide the answer of that by 119 (35,700/119) to find X (300)

nataly862011 [7]

Hello there! So, 1/4 is equivalent to 0.25, which is 25% in percent form. 0.5 is 50% and 0.2 is 20% in percent form. 50 + 20 + 25 is 95. 100 - 95 is 5. Issac can use 5% of the minutes on the cell phone plan. The answer is D: 5%.

Answer:

(12 + 3x)x

Step-by-step explanation:

(12 + 3)x = 12x + 3x = 15x

(12 + 3x)x = 12x + 3x²

15x

12x + 3x = 15x

They all equal 15x except for (12 + 3x)x

Helpp the topic is about limits

erik [133]

Since we want to find the value of k where the limit exists, set both equations equal to each other. Then substitute x = -1 in for each equation to find k.

$kx - 3 = {x}^{2} + k$

1. Set both equations equal.

$- k - 3 = 1 + k$

2. Substitute x = -1.

$- 3 = 1 + 2k$

3. Solve for k by adding k to both sides. Continue the process of solving the equation.

$- 4 = 2k$

$k = - 2$

Thus, k = -2. Check by graphing the function.

This table shows a family's monthly budget. What percentage of the budget is allocated for entertainment? Round to the nearest t

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A)4.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to add all the payments together to get your total.

1400+300+150+800+300+150+100+100+150+200=3650

Then you cross multiply and divide to get the percentage.

$\frac{entertainment}{total}$ $\frac{150}{3650}$ = $\frac{x}{100}$

When you cross multiply and divide x≈4.1

Solve for x. 144° 18 degrees 30 degrees 48 degrees 120 degrees

disa [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have a rotation angle of 360 °, take out the known values (360 ° -90 ° -144 ° = 126), 144 ° is part of a flat angle of 180 °, from 180 ° remove 144 and you have 36 °, they are opposite angles therefore the same. therefore 360 - 144 - 90 - 36 - 36 = 54.

54 is 3x, so x = 18 ° (54 : 3 = 18)
