0.1 is 10% of what number?

2 answers:

7 0

Let's assign a variable that is the number when multiplied by 10% it is equal to 0.1.

Well let that be x.

Now we want to convert the 10% into a decimal. To convert a percent into a decimal, simply move the % sign two places to the left and make it into a decimal point.

When we say "of" in mathematics what we really mean is to multiply.

0.10 * x = 0.1

That is the equation we need to find the value of x for.

Divide both sides by 0.10

0.10 * x = 0.1

The 0.10 on the left side cancels out.

x = 1

So, the answer to this question is if we multiply 10% by 1 we will get 0.1.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length (l) = 13 cm

Width (w) = 8 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + w) units

P = 2(13 + 8)

P = 2 (21)

P = 42

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , then the equation of line is

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Let y be the profit (in millions) after x years.

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the point (1,-100).

The company paid for these costs and made combined profits of $80 million after 4 years. It means the graph passes through the point (4,80).

The line passes through (1,-100) and (4,80). So, the equation of line is

$y-(-100)=\frac{80-(-100)}{4-1}(x-1)$

$y+100=\frac{180}{3}(x-1)$

$y+100=60(x-1)$

$y+100=60x-60$

Subtract 100 from both sides.

$y+100-100=60x-60-100$

$y=60x-160$

The function form is

$f(x)=60x-160$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

The distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. What is 50% of that distance?

Marina86 [1]

Answer: 128.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that the distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. To get 50% of the distance, we simply have to multiply the distance given by 50%. This will be:

= 50% × 257km

= 50/100 × 257km

= 0.5 × 257km

= 128.5km

Therefore, 50% of the distance is 128.5km.

Answer:

$104

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cost in the store is x we can write:

75%x = 78

0.75x = 78

x = 78 / 0.75 = 104

Answer:

$f^{-1}$ (x) =

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = f(x), then rearrange making x the subject

y = $\frac{1}{5}$ x + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y - 4 = $\frac{1}{5}$ x ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

5y - 20 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x = $f^{-1}$ (x) , then

$f^{-1}$ (x) = 5x - 20
