Hi there!~

So first off we need to use a variable to solve the given percentage, lets use "y" (This can also be used as any other letter, most commonly can be known as "x")

The formula is " $\frac{100-y}{100}$ "

And because we are increasing, we would use that ^

So for us we get 0.58 as an answer.

Austen needs to buy a bathroom mirror that is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. If the mirror sells for $5.00 per square foot, what will the total cost of the mirror be?

<h2><u>Solution :-</u></h2>

<h3><u>Given Information :-</u></h3>

<u>Length of the mirror Austen needs to buy ➢</u> 3 ft
<u>Width of the mirror Austen needs to buy ➢</u> 2 ft
<u>Cost of mirror per square foot ➢</u> $5.00

Total cost of the mirror Austen needs to buy.

<h3><u>Formula Used :-</u></h3>

Area of Mirror = Length × Width
Total cost of mirror = Area of mirror × Cost of mirror per square foot

<h3><u>Calculation :-</u></h3>

<u>Area of mirror :-</u>

<em><u>Substituting the values given in the 1st formula, We get, </u></em>

⇒ Area of mirror = ( 3 × 2 ) ft²

⇒ Area of mirror = 6 ft²

<u>Now finding the total cost of mirror,</u>

I was absent the day they taught this and my teacher refuses to teach me

julsineya [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

it's something in algebra i don't remember but basically the top number (12) has the x on the bottom which is multiplication and the bottom number (8) has addition so those tell u how ur supposed to get those numbers

so basically u need to find two numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to 12 so the factors are 6 and 2 because 6 • 2 is 12 and 6 + 2 = 8. hope this helps

i need help. Semir, Sarah, and SungSo decided to raise money for a local homeless shelter by working in a local deli. The deli a

IgorLugansk [536]

According to the question,
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,

y = 2n - 5 ........................this is your equation
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.

Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now,

Using unitary method,

Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
= 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n

Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.
