Answer:
20cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Area= 80cm^2
we know that the expression for the area of a triangle is
A= 1/2B*H
from the given expression 1/2(8h) =80 the base is 8cm
let us substitute to find the height h
1/2(8h) =80
4h=80
h= 80/4
h= 20cm
Hence the heigth h is 20cm
To find the cost per pound you simply divide the amount paid by the amount purchased
For Beef it would be:
$7.20 ÷ 2.0 = $3.60
For Pork it would be:
$8.10 ÷ 2.5 = $3.40
For Chicken it would be:
$9.80 ÷ 3.5 = $2.8
Asssuming blanks are plus
5(x+1)=4(x+8)
distribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
5(x+1)=5x+5
4(x+8)=4x+32
5x+5=4x+32
minus 4x from both sides
x+5=32
minus 5 from both sides
x=27
1. We assume, that the number 40 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 40, so we can write it down as 100%=40.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40
2) x%=21
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=40/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 40
100%/x%=40/21
(100/x)*x=(40/21)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.90476190476*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.90476190476) to get x
100/1.90476190476=x
52.5=x
x=52.5
now we have:
21 is 52.5% of 40
