Remember that percent means parts out of 100
x/100

discount is the decrease
so we divide the decrease by the original total and get
100/5775=0.0173
convert to fraction
0.0173/1
make bottom number 100
multiply by 100/100
1.73/100=1.73%
round
2%

There are 850 Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine trees in a section of forest bought by Karamazov Logging Co. The company paid an av
ki77a [65]

Answer:

350 Douglas fir, 500 Ponderosa pine

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let f = the number of fir trees

and p = the number of pine trees.

Then, we have two conditions:

(1)                                f + p = 850

(2)                  300f + 225p = 217 500

(3)                                    p = 850 -f         Subtracted f from each side of (1)

(4)       300f + 225(850 - f) = 217 500     Substituted (3) into (3)

      300f + 191 250 - 225f = 217 500     Distributed 225

                    75f + 191 250 = 217 500     Distributed the 7

                                    75f = 26 250      Subtracted 191 250 each side

(5)                                     f = 350

                             350 + p = 850           Substituted (5) into (1)

                                        p = 500          Subtracted 350 from each side

The company bought 350 fir trees and 500 pine trees.

Check:

(1) 350 + 500 = 850     (2) 300 × 350 + 225 × 500 = 217 500  

              850 = 850                  105 000 + 112 500 = 217 500

                                                                   217 500 = 217 500

OK.

The rays OM , ON , and OP in the figure, coincide at time t=0. At the same instant of time OM and OP rotate in the plane about p
dangina [55]

Note:

Note that the shape is a circle(s), as they all will rotate until they coincide. However, they are rotating towards each other

Step-by-step explanation:

One is rotating at 3°, while the other is rotating at 6°. We do not need to both with ON, for the question is not asking for that segment.

A circle has 360° To solve this, we must know that "the other" must complete a circle and overtake the other one.

So. First, solve for the circle (360°)

360/6 = 60

It takes one of the rays to rotate a full circle 60 seconds.

The other, at the same time, has rotated half way, as:

360/3 = 120

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

Remember that one of the rays (the one that is faster), completes it's turn twice as fast. This means that you must solve for the mean:

(60 + 120)/2 = 180/2 = 90

90 seconds will be used until one overtakes the other
