Answer: you could buy 12 magazines
Step-by-step explanation:
each magazine is $2
Answer: Not possible
Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.
Answer:
1. 1.6x has a variable which means an unknown number
2. 5 more than 0.10 times a number
Step-by-step explanation:
A variable is an unknown number represented by a letter. It provides a way to write a relationship in the real world without knowing all the values involved, 1.6x means 1.6 times an unknown number mathematically. A real world example would be a percent growth of 60% on an unknown price - 1.6x.
5 + 0.10x means 5 more than 0.10 times an unknown number. A real world example here would be "10% off a sale plus $5 coupon". We don't know the price of the item but we do know it is 10% off and we get $5 off. Once we know the price we input it int for x and find the total discount.
Ok so first, you put the sides into a ratio. The question says that triangle GKNM is congruent to triangle VRPT. From this, we know that side GK is congruent to VR. So, we write that as a ratio. Also, we know that KN is congruent to RP. We also write that as a ratio. Then, using equations, we solve for x. But, we aren't done yet; the expression for side KN is 3x-2 and, we already know that x is equal to 4.4
So, we do 3*4.4-2 which is 11.2. Therefore, side KN is equal to 11./2Then, the expression for side RP is x+4. We already know that x is equal to 4.4. So, we do 4.4+4 which is 8.4. Therefore, side RP is equal to 8.4.
Oh, and the scale factor is 4:3 or 1.33 because you do 8.4/6.3 ( you can also do 11.2/8.4)
hope this helps ;)
