Using equivalent ratios to find a whole \/

Mathematics
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 20 kids with brown hair and this represents 80% of the class total.

So this means 20=.8n since we don't know the total number of kids.

20=.8n

Divide both sides by .8

25=n

So 25 is the total number of kids.

C. is the answer

You could also setup this equation given that 80% is 80/100:

[tex]\frac{20}{\text{ total }}=\frac{80}{100}

To figure out what that total is there you can divide top and bottom of the fraction on right hand side by 4 which gives you the 20 on top and the 25 on bottom.

What is a 96% confidence interval for the proportion of weight-lifting injuries in this age group that were accidental?
loris [4]
<span>A 96% confidence interval means that 96% of the time you can believe that the result will fall into a range of numbers. In the case of weight lifting this would mean that 96% of the time, the proportion of weight-lifting injuries were accidental would fall in between the two parameters set forth.</span>

Pedro is doing math exercises from a software program he recently purchased. In the program, you have to get at least 70% of the
Nookie1986 [14]
The inequality would be
0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)

q is defined as the number of questions he answers after the first one.  We are told he gets 75% of those correct; 75%=75/100=0.75.  This gives us 0.75q.

Since he gains proficiency on the exercises, the total number he gets correct has to be at least 70%.  This means the inequality would have the symbol greater than or equal to, as it cannot be less and have him gain proficiency.

He has already answered 1 question and answers q more; this gives us a total of q+1.  Since he gains proficiency, the cutoff was 70%; 70%=70/100=0.70.  This gives us the expression 0.70(q+1).

Our total inequality would then be 0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)

Damon buys lumber worth $562. He gets a 20% contractors discount. The sales tax is 6%. His credit card gives him 2% off. How muc
Zanzabum

Answer:

$467.05

Step-by-step explanation:

By getting a discount of 20%, it means he pays 100-20=80% of the initial price

80% is same as 0.8

Price after discount will be

0.8*$562=$449.6

Taxation is then subjected to the discounted price. With tax rate of 6% which is equivalent to 0.06 then the total prive incurres will be 106% of the discounted price, same as 1.06

Final price inclusive of tax

1.06*$449.6=$476.576

Since his credit gives 2% discount of everytging then he only pays 98% of the price inclusive of tax

Payable amount

0.98*476.576=467.04448

Rounded off as $467.05

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the number 7 on the bottom right of the graph. That means at the end of 7 weeks. Now look vertically up from there until you see a point directly above 7 weeks. Look to the left of that point, and you see that the point directly above 7 weeks is at the level of $90. That means that at the end of 7 weeks, he had $90.
