So if .6*x is 36. then 36/.6=X=60

You can write this out as:

x - 0.4x = 36

The number minus 40% of the number is 36. To simplify, combine like terms:

0.6x = 36

Finally, divide each side by 0.6:

x = 60

The original number is 60.

The diameter of a semicircle is 6 miles. What is the semicircle's perimeter?

koban [17]

Answer:

$15.42mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for a semicircle's perimeter.

$P=\frac{1}{2}\pi *d+d$

Plug in 6 for d.

$P=\frac{1}{2}\pi*6+6$

Let's use 3.14 for $\pi$ , just to make it easier, but of course, if it states to round it to something else, just plug in that many values for $\pi$ .

$P=\frac{1}{2}(3.14)*6+6 \\ \\ P=1.57*6+6 \\ \\ P=9.42+6 \\ \\ P=15.42$

Since she bought 4 bags of 50 beads and 3 bags of 200 beads you only need to use two operations: multiply and add. 4 x 50 is 200 3 x 200 is 600 600 + 200 = 800 Mariah purchase 800 beads in total.
