Well please re post the complete question as i can not see the expression over here. How ever, A wild guess is 15% of x + x should be equal to F. Where x is the figurines owned the previous year.

Answer:  F / 0.15 = 100F / 15 = 20F / 3 ≈ 6.67F.


Explanation:


1) The three expresssions,  F / 0.15;  15 F / 100; 3F / 20; are equivalent.


2) The number of figurines Kat owned last year may be expressed in terms of the number the of figurines purchased, F, this year, and the 15%, following this procedure:


  • Call n the amount of figurines owned last year.
  • F is the number of figurines purchased: F  = 15%n = 0,15n
  • Hence, you just need to clear F from the expression F = 0.15n
  • Divide both sides by 0.15:

        F / 0.15 = n or n = F / 0.15 (reflexive property)

  • To prove the equialavence of the other expresssions you just have to use the properties of multiplication or division:

       (F / 0.15) × (100 / 100) = 100F / 15

        100F / 15 = (100/5)F / (15/5) = 20F / 3 ≈ 6.67F

How do you calculate the area and the perimeter of a parallelogram and a triangle?
Mnenie [13.5K]

for parallelograms:

area = b(h)

so basically, the length times the height. just like how you would find the area of a square.

perimeter: just add all of the sides together.

for triangles:

area = 1/2(b) x h

so half the length multiplied by the height. for example, if the length was 4, you have to use half of that. so that means 2 times whatever the height is.

perimeter: again, just add all three sides together

Average rate of change
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The average rate of change in that space would be 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, use the two ordered pairs (-1, 3) and (1, 27) in the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (27 - 3)/(1 - -1)

m = 24/2

m = 12
