So what you want to find is: what number times 120% is $324.00. (IT is 120% percent because it is the original <em>plus</em> the new percent) Simply set it up like so:

SN *120% = $324.00

Now turn the percent into a decimal:

SN * 1.20 = $324.00

Now divide $324.00 by 1.20

SN = $270

The original value of the basketball player's autograph was 270 dollars!

Hope that helps!

A giraffe can run 32 miles per hour. What is the speed in feet per second? (1 mile = 5280 ft)
velikii [3]

Set up your conversion using dimensional analysis. That's just a fancy way of saying set up your values so you cancel what you don't need and keep what you do. If we want to convert miles per hour to feet per second, we need to convert the miles to feet using the fact that there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, and then convert the hours to seconds using the fact that there are 3600 seconds in an hour. Your set up will look like this (it's all about setting up the fractions correctly): \frac{32miles}{hour}*\frac{5280feet}{1mile}*\frac{1hour}{3600seconds}. If you look at that closely, you can see the there is a label of miles on the top in the first fraction and on the bottom in the second fraction. Those cancel each other out by reducing. Then in the bottom of the first fraction there is hours and in the top of the last fraction there is hours. Those cancel out. From top to bottom or bottom to top you can cancel like labels. This leaves us with feet in the top and seconds in the bottom. Now it's a matter of doing the math. You multiply straight across the top and straight across the bottom. \frac{168960feet}{3600seconds}. Simplifying you get 46.933 feet per second.

The product of x and 2 is less than or equal to 4
MissTica
2x≤4

I'm not sure how else to help you in this situation, without you providing me with more information.  If you want the solution for x, you would just divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable, or 2, resulting in the inequality:

x ≤ 2

Hope this helps! Comment if you need to add info or have any more questions about this problem.

Yolanda is making a banner for a school pep rally. She cuts fabric in the shape of a parallelogram. The angle at the bottom-left
Roman55 [17]

Answer: x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallelograms the opposite angles are equal. As the bottom left angle is 80° the opposite angle (top right), is also 80°. All 4 angles in a quadrilateral must add up to 360. Because you know 2 angles added together are 160° the other two angles must equal 200°. As opposite angles are equal you know 2x=200, divide by 2 x=100
