So to solve for this, we need to set up proportional fractions, which I will help show you how to do.
First, if we are given an amount out of a total, we need to put it over x (if we are looking for the total). It looks like this:
12/x, 12 being the given number and x being the total.
If we are given the total but are looking for an amount, put the total at the bottom of the fraction (aka the denominator). It looks like this: x/16, 16 being the total amount and x being the amount out of the total.
We have a total of 40 test problems, so we can put our total at the bottom, x/40.
X is the amount of questions answered correctly (we are looking for x in the question).
We have answered 80% correct, so put 80% over 100 (100 being the total). It should look like this: 80/100.
Now we have our two fractions: x/40 & 80/100.
Set these up as an equation.
x/40 = 80/100.
Now this is where things may get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Multiply the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of x/40 by the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) of 80/100.
Your product equation should look like this:
x times 100. This will give is 100x. Leave it at that.
Now, multiply the denominator of x/40 (the bottom number of the fraction) by the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of 80/100. It should look like this:
80 x 40. This will give us 3200.
Now set up our products as an equation.
100x = 3200.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 100.
3200/100 = 32.
x = 32.
I hope this helps and has taught you something!

To Find The Answer, We Need To Add All Of Them Together, Then Divide By the Number Of Values. So:
64+23+78+82+91
-----------------------
             5

<span>64+23+78+82+91 = 338.

338/5 = 67.6

So, The Average Is 67.6

How many three-digit positive integers have three different digits?
olganol [36]

648 is the three-digit positive integers have three different digits

According to the statement

we have given that there are three positive digit number are formed with three distinct digits.

And we have to find that the how many words are formed with distinct numbers.

So, to solve this type of problem the Combination formula is best.

Because it provides the all possibilities that from how many ways numbers are formed.

So, from a combination formula

here we take 9 two times because first time when we let a number then remaining numbers are 9.  and second time remaining numbers are also 9 because we let the distinct number but for third number there will be a probability that choosing number will be same.

So, Three digit positive number become from 9*9*8 =648

So, 648 is the three-digit positive integers have three different digits.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical Asymptote: x=2Horizontal Asymptote: NoneEquation of the Slant/Oblique Asymptote: y=x 3+23 Explanation:Given:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6Step.1:To find the Vertical Asymptote:a. Factor where possibleb. Cancel common factors, if anyc. Set Denominator = 0We will start following the steps:Consider:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6We will factor where possible:y=f(x)=(x+3)(x−3)3x−6If there are any common factors in the numerator and the denominator, we can cancel them.But, we do not have any.Hence, we will move on.Next, we set the denominator to zero.(3x−6)=0Add 6 to both sides.(3x−6+6)=0+6(3x−6+6)=0+6⇒3x=6⇒x=63=2Hence, our Vertical Asymptote is at x=2Refer to the graph below:enter image source hereStep.2:To find the Horizontal Asymptote:Consider:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6Since the highest degree of the numerator is greater than the highest degree of the denominator,Horizontal Asymptote DOES NOT EXISTStep.3:To find the Slant/Oblique Asymptote:Consider:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6Since, the highest degree of the numerator is one more than the highest degree of the denominator, we do have a Slant/Oblique AsymptoteWe will now perform the Polynomial Long Division usingy=f(x)=x2−93x−6enter image source hereHence, the Result of our Long Polynomial Division isx3+23+(−53x−6)

Carol successfully increases her business to 200 customers per day. However, her total cost for doing so is 50% greater than the
kramer

Carol's Steakhouse, the total cost of serving 150 customers per day is $900. Carol is interested in increasing her business, but is concerned about the effect on marginal cost.

Carol successfully increases her business to 200 customers per day. However, her total cost for doing so is 50% greater than the expected $1,600. What percent greater is the actual marginal cost than the expected marginal cost, to the nearest full perc

Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given

C1 = $900

Q1 = 259

Then c2 = $1600

Q2 = 200

M = 1600-900/50

= 14

For real,

C1 = 900

C2 = 2400

Q1 = 150

Q2 = 50

1500/50 = 30

30/14 x 100

= 214

It is greater by 214 percent
