The answer to this is 35.8% and heres why:

We assume, that the number 39 is 100% because it's the output value of the task and we all know that x is the value we are looking for. If 100% equals 39, so we can write it down as 100%=39 and x% equals 14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14. And with that we have 2 equations we can solve.

Lets solve:

100%=39 and x%=14.

100%/x%=39/14

(100/x)*x=(39/14)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=2.78*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.78) to get x

100/2.78=x

35.8=x

x=35.8

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day

I'm sorry I'm too lazy to read all of that. However, I did get the main point. The river was going at 3 mph. Since he wanted to travel 10 miles upstream and downstream, you would have to subtract 20 by 3. This would mean he was going at a speed of 17 mph.

Anita purchased a couch that was priced at $700. She will also have to pay 6% sales tax. How much will she pay in total for the

Answer:

$742

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to figure out what 6% of 700 dollars is and then add that to 700. The easiest way to find the percentage of a number is to set it up in the equation:

6/100 = x/700 where 6 is the percentage of 700 (out of 100 because you can only get up to 100 percent in this case) and x is 6 percent of 700. when you cross multiply, you get 100x = 4200. Then you divide both sides by 100 to get x by itself. This will give you x = 42 Add this to 700 for 742 as the total amount that will be paid. Sorry if this first half was a little confusing

A campground consists of 5 square campsites arranged in a line along a beach. The distance from the edge of a campsite to the wa

Anestetic [448]

To answer this question with the choices given, you would substitute the possible answers into your work for the base and the height of each dimension on the entire campground.

To find the length of the campground, you multiply each choice by 5 because there are 5 campsites.

For the width, you add each choice to 4.

Then you multiply the total length by the total width to see if your answer is 950 square yards.

See the attached picture for all the work.
