Answer: 2.2464 × 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of obese Americans in 2011 - 2012 = 35%

Percentage of Americans who are adult = 72%

United States population estimate = 312 million

Adult = age 20 and above

Number of adult Americans (age 20 and above) :

72% of the total united states estimated population

72% of 312,000,000

72/100 × 312,000,000

0.72 × 312,000,000

= 224,640,000

Hence, estimated Adult American population (age 20 and above) = 224,640,000

2.2464 × 10^8

Jet001 [13]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is out of the original price so do 424.15 / 499.00 to find what it is out of in decimal form. Multiply your answer by 100 to find the percentage.

So:

424.15 / 499.00 =0.85

0.85 x 100 = 85

So the answer would 85%.

Find the value of x.<br> I Need to show the equations please, and show my work
defon

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

since both equations are set with a right angle, the equation must be equal to 90 degrees. So you set the equation as

13+x+4x+2=90

add the x variables together and the constants separately

15+5x=90

then subtract 15 from both sides.

15+5x=90

-15      -15

5x=75

then divide 5 from both sides.

75/5= 15

so x is 15 :).
