Answer:

The answer is $3.39

Step-by-step explanation:

the question states an increase in price. this means that we need to multiply the current prince ($2.67) by 127%.

drop the percent and put 127 over 100

$\frac{127}{100}$

multiply

$\frac{127}{100} *\frac{2.67}{1}\\\\ \frac{339.09}{100} \\\\3.39$

we are dealing with currency so rounding to the hundredths place will suffice.

hope this helps :)

Lester and Carey are 14 feet apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Kim is teaching a 5th grade class

She is standing 48 feet in front of Lester
Carey is sitting to Lester's right
Carey and Mrs. Kim are 50 feet apart

We need to find how far apart Lester and Carey

Look to the attached figure

The positions of Mrs. Kim, Lester, and Carey formed a right triangle

∵ The distance between Mrs. Kim and Carey is 50 feet

∴ The length of the hypotenuse of the Δ = 50 feet

∵ The distance between Mrs. Kim and Lester is 48 feet

∴ The length of one leg of the Δ = 48 feet

The formula of length of the sides of the right Δ is:

$(hypotenuse)^{2}=(leg_{1})^{2}+(leg_{2})^{2}$

Substitute the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the given leg in the formula above

∵ (50)² = (48)² + (leg)²

∴ 2500 = 2304 + (leg)²

- Subtract 2304 from both sides

∴ 196 = (leg)²

- Take square for both sides

∴ 14 = leg

∵ This leg represents the distance between Lester and Carey

∴ The distance between Lester and Carey = 14 feet

Lester and Carey are 14 feet apart

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

x=9, y=10. (9, 10). The two numbers are 9 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5y=77

x+y=19

------------------

3x+5y=77

-3(x+y)=-3(19)

---------------------

3x+5y=77

-3x-3y=-57

-------------------

2y=20

y=20/2

y=10

x+10=19

x=19-10

x=9

Answer:

<1= 32*

<2= 32*

<3= 40*

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangle also adds up to 180*

m <1 = 90+58=148 then 180-148=32*

<1 and <2 are equal so <2 also =32*

m <3= 108+32=140 then 180-140=40
