You have to make 4% into a decimal which is.04 then multiply 15600 x .04 which equals 624

Janes original salary was increased 4% and is now 15600 so
x(1+0.04)=15600
1 is the original + the increase
x (1.04)=15600
x=15600/1.04= $15000

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 3/4 miles in 2 1/3 minutes. How far will it travel in 45 minutes? In 1 hour?

mina [271]

Answer:

33.75 miles in 45 minutes,

45 miles in an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

45 minutes: 2 1/3= 7/3 ---> 7/3*3=7,

1 3/4= 7/4 ---> 7/4*3=5.25

car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

45/7*5.25= 33.75 miles

1 hour (60 minutes):

using that the car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

60/7*5.25= 45 miles

Hope that makes sense!

Answer:

a. $\frac{x + 3}{21}=\frac{x + 1}{15}$

b. x = 4 (see steps below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two polygons are similar, the sides are proportional to each other. Using a proportion, you can solve for 'x' using cross-multiplication and division:

$\frac{smaller}{larger}=\frac{x + 3}{21}=\frac{x + 1}{15}$

Cross-multiply: 15(x + 3) = 21(x + 1)

Distribute: 15x + 45 = 21x + 21

Subtract '15x' from both sides: 15x + 45 - 15x = 21x + 21 - 15x or 45 = 6x + 21

Subtract '21' from both sides: 45 - 21 = 6x + 21 - 21 or 24 = 6x

Divide by 6 on both sides: 24/6 = 6x/6

Solve for x: x = 4
