The value of a professional basketball player's autograph rose 20% in the last year. It is now worth $324.00. What was it worth

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!

Find the dimensions of a rectangular prism whose volume is (x^4 ‒ y ^4) units3.
vovikov84 [41]
Factor x^4-y^4: (x²+y²)(x²-y²)
further factor: (x²+y²)(x+y)(x-y)
so the dimensions are (x²+y²)(length),  (x+y) (width), and (x-y) (height)

Connected to the question before this

Answer:

(4)Angle A is 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find angle A here is what you have to do

(1) triangle A is an Isosceles triangle which has two of its angles being equal.

(2) To find A we hv to look for the interior angles of the triangle. If u look carefully there is this angle outside the triangle .we can use a property called "Angles on a straight line

(3) " Angles on a straight line sum up to 180°" When u do that ur equation will look like this

126+(x)=180°. u may be wondering hw did we get the x?? well i named the angle we dont know with any valuable like T,F etc .when u group like terms ur equation should look like this (x)=180°-126°

if u subtract ur answer should be x=63°

(B) if u look closely u will see there are two triangles. The one to the far right is an Isosceles triangle why because there is this double stroke indicating it is an Isosceles triangle. Remember an Isosceles triangle has its bases being equal. so the the triangle has two angles of 30°. so If we want to find B we first have to find the interior angles of the Isosceles triangle . so our epuarion will be like this 30°+30°+(X)=180°

U group like terms so it will look like this x=180°-60° so,

x= 120°

So now T=120°

Now to find B

we write the equation like this T+(W)=180°

we put the value of T into the Equation w=180°-120 the answer is 60°

So to find B we find the interior angles of the triangle and the interior angles of the Isosceles triangle sum up to 180. so it will look like this B+90+60=180

Nb they should be in Degrees

finally u group like terms. ur equation should look like this B=180-150

ur answer should be B=30°

Check the picture below.

\bf \stackrel{\measuredangle DAC}{4y+2x}~~=~~\stackrel{\measuredangle BCA}{9y-x}\implies 2x=5y-x\implies 3x=5y\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{5y}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\measuredangle DAB}{[(4y+2x)+35]}~~+~~\stackrel{\measuredangle ADC}{5x+4}~~=~~180\implies 4y+2x+5x+39 = 180 \\\\\\ 4y+7x+39=180\implies 4y+7x=141\implies \stackrel{\textit{substituting "x"}}{4y+7\left( \boxed{\cfrac{5y}{3}} \right)} = 141

\bf 4y+\cfrac{35y}{3}=141\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3\left( 4y+\cfrac{35y}{3} \right)=3(141)}\implies 12y+35y=423 \\\\\\ 47y=423\implies y=\cfrac{423}{47}\implies \blacktriangleright y = 9 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{x=\cfrac{5y}{3}}\implies x = \cfrac{5(9)}{3}\implies \blacktriangleright x = 15 \blacktriangleleft
