I'm going to show you two ways to do it.
Way #1 is the slogging way.
Way #2 is the clever way.


Way #1:

' One hundred percent ' means ALL of something.
ALL of the students in the school is the same as 100% of them.
If 10% are absent, then 90% are present.
90% means  0.9  .

                               1620 students  =  90% of the school.

                                            1620  =  0.9 x school total

Divide each side by 0.9:     1620/0.9 = total school

                                             1800  =  total school

How many were absent ? 
10% of them. 
10%  means  0.10  .

                         0.10  x  1800  =  180 students absent .
_______________________________________

Way #2:

' One hundred percent ' means ALL of something.
ALL of the students in the school is the same as 100% of them.

==> If 10% are absent, then 90% are present.

==> The number of students present is  9 times  the number who are absent.

                                            1620 = 9 x the number absent

Divide each side by  9 :    1620 / 9  =    the number absent

                                       1620 / 9  =  180 absent .

1.) p^2+14p-38=0<br> what the vertex?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

vertex = (- 7, - 87)

Step-by-step explanation:

given a parabola in standard form : ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

p² + 14p - 38 is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 14, c = - 38, hence

x_{vertex } = - \frac{14}{2} = -7

substitute x = - 7 into the equation for corresponding value of y

y = (- 7)² + 14(- 7) - 38 = 49 - 98 - 38 - - 87

vertex = (- 7, - 87)

I need help solving this and getting the right answer. I got the answers 3.7854 changed to 3.79, and another answer which is 3.7
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I wonder if it wants 3.80 per gallon?

Perhaps the imperial value which would have been 4.50 per gallon which is an imperial gallon (used in Canada). It's hard to tell. I would have thought 3.78 should be more than close enough.

PLEASE HELP MATH QUESTION !!! Explain!
butalik [34]

When we say two quantities x and y are proportional to one another, there are two ways we could mean this.

- If x is *directly* proportional to y, then we mean that as x changes, y changes in the same direction. In other words, if x is in/decreased, then y also in/decreases. The rate of in/decrease doesn't have to be one-to-one; for example, we could have x increase by 1 unit while y would proportionally increase by 5 units. In this case, we'd have y=5x.

- On the other hand, if x is *inversely* proportional to y, then a change in x results in a change in y that goes in the opposite direction. A common example involves taking a rectangle of constant area and adjusting the width x and length y. If the rectangle has an area of 5 square units, then we could have x=5 and y=1, or we could have x=4 and y=\dfrac54, or x=3 and y=\dfrac53, or any combination of x and y such that xy=5 is satisfied.

In both cases, we call 5 the "constant of proportionality".

On to your exercises:

(1a) Looks like a stands for number of apples. Then we're told that the cost c=2.3a, which means that for every apple, the cost increases by 2.3 dollars. So the constant of proportionality is 2.3. In the language of proportionality, we could then say that the cost of apples is directly proportional to the number of apples by a factor of 2.3.

(1b) 5.4

(1c) 12.5
