What fraction of a metre is 40 centimetres

A man is paid $1500 salary. He spends 20% of the salary for his kids education, 35% for food, 15% for miscellaneous and he saves

Alexxandr [17]

A man is paid $1500 salary. He spends 20% of the salary for his kids education, 35% for food, 15% for miscellaneous and he saves the rest. How much money does he save?

Total Income = $ 1500

According to the question,

He spends 20% to his kids education

He spends 35% for food

He spends 15% for miscellaneous

Out of total income he spends 20% on kids education

So, amount spent on kids education = 20% of $1500

Amount = 20/100 × $1500

Amount = $300

Hence, money spent on his kids education is $300

35% is spent on food

Money spent on food = 35% of $1500

Money spent = 35/100 × $1500

Money spent = $525

Hence, money spent on food is $525

15% is spent on miscellaneous

Money spent on miscellaneous = 15% of $1500

Money spent = 15/100 × $1500

Money spent = $225

Hence, money spent on miscellaneous is $225

Now, adding all the three we get

$300 + $525 + $225

$825 + $225

$1050

Total money spent = $1050

Remaining money = $1500 - $1050 = $450

<u>Remaining amount left with him is $450</u>

The equation a = 640s gives the relationship between s square miles and a acres. James owns 2.5 square miles of farmland. How ma

larisa [96]

This would be a question that would involve division.

We do: (1,600 ÷ 4) and therefore, this would give us $a= 640s$ just as we were looking for, and therefore, B would be your correct answer.

Consider each equation. is it the equation of the line that is parallel or perpendicular to y=3x+2? Select yes or no for a-c

Mkey [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 is in this form with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slope

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other

A

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 8 has slope m = - $\frac{1}{3}$

3 and - $\frac{1}{3}$ are negative reciprocals

This line is perpendicular to y = 3x + 2

B

y = 3x - 10 has slope m = 3

This line is parallel to y = 3x + 2

C

y = 2x + 4 has slope m = 2

This line is neither parallel nor perpendicular to y = 3x + 2

PLEASE HELP In 3/4 pound of a spice mix, there is 5/6 cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the spice mix contain per pound? 5

Aleks [24]

Let's use ratio and proportion or rates to solve this
If there is 5/6 cup of cinnamon in a 3/4 pound of spice mix, how many are in a pound?
5/6=3/4
?=1
1/ (3/4)*5/6=10/9
Therefore there are 10/9 cups of cinnamon in 1 pound of spice mix
