A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27 because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?

Which equation can be solved by using this expression?

Marat540 [252]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is B. 2 = 3x + 10x^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are to determine whether which of the given equations in the answer options can be solved using the following expression:

$x=\frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{(3)^2+4(10)(2)} }{2(10)}$

Here, $a = 10, b = 3$ and $c=-2$ .

These requirements are fulfilled by the equation 4 which is:

$12=3x+10x^2$

Rearranging it to get:

$10x^2+3x-2=0$

Substituting these values of $a,b,c$ in the quadratic formula:

$x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x= \frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(10)(-2)} }{y}$

If n+h/5=f+9/9, then n/5=

Ann [662]

------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n+h}{5} = \frac{f+9}{9}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Split the fraction on the left
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} + \frac{h}{5} = \frac{f + 9}{9}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Take away h/5 from both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} = \frac{f+9}{9} - \frac{h}{5}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the denominator to be the same
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f+45}{45} - \frac{9h}{45}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Put it into single fraction
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f+45-9h}{45} }$

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Rearrange (This step may not be necessary)
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed {\frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f-9h+ 45}{45} }$

$\bf \Longrightarrow \ Answer \ : \boxed {\boxed {\frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f-9h+ 45}{45} }}$
