The difference of two numbers is 40. Find the numbers if 0.3 parts of one number is equal to 37.5% of the other one.

Answer:Let the two unknown numbers be x and y.

So, x-y=40 ........Equation 1

And 0.3(x)= 37.5/100 (y)

From equation 1, x=40+y

Now, multiply through by 100 in equation 2.

We have,

30x = 37.5 (y)

We can multiply through by 10 again,so that the number on the L.H.S becomes a whole number.

Therefore, we have

300x = 375 (y)

Put "x=40+y" in the equation above

That is, 300 (40+y) = 375 (y)

1200 + 300y = 375y

1200 = 375y - 300y

1200 = 75y

Divide both sides by 75 to get your y

Therefore, y =16

From equation 1, we had x= 40 + y

Therefore X = 40 + 16

X= 56

Therefore the two unknown numbers are 56 and 16 respectively.

Pls help me in this i really need help :( :)

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step:</u>

<u>First off, let's write the line in point-slope form:</u>

  \rm \hookrightarrow (y-y_0)=m(x-x_0)

  • (x₀, y₀) any random point on the line
  • 'm' is the value of the slope

<u>Let's calculate the slope:</u>

 \rm \hookrightarrow Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

  • (x₁, y₁): any random point on the line                                     ⇒   (-2, -6)
  • (x₂,y₂): any random point on the line that is not (x₁, y₁)         ⇒   (2, -3)

                 \rm \hookrightarrow slope = \frac{-3--6}{2--2} =\frac{3}{4}

<u>Now that we found the slope, let's put it into the point-slope form</u>

  ⇒ we need (x₀, y₀) ⇒ let's use (2,-3)

     (y-(-3))=\frac{3}{4} (x-2)\\y+3=\frac{3}{4} (x-2)

<u>The equation, however, could also be put into 'slope-intercept form'</u>

     ⇒ gotten by isolating the 'y' variable to the left

          y = \frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{2}  

<u>Answer:</u>y = \frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{2} or y+3=\frac{3}{4} (x-2)

   *<em>Either equations work, put the one that you are the most familiar with</em>

Hope that helps!

Naoya read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a rate of 555555 pages per hour. After reading for 444 hours, he had 33
siniylev [52]

Answer:

<h3>The function formula for the number of pages left to read is given by P(t)=55(10-t).</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that "Naoya read a book at a rate of 55 pages per hour".

After reading book for 4 hours, he had 330 pages remaining to read.

In 4 hours, Naoya must read is given by

\frac{55}{1hr}\times 4hr ( by given)

=220

<h3>∴ In 4 hours, Naoya must read 220 pages</h3>

From the given there were 330 pages remaining to read at the time,

The total number of pages is given by

=220+330

=550

<h3>∴ The total number of pages is 550 </h3>

For each hour of reading, Naoya reads 55 pages, so the number of pages he finished reading by the "t"th hour is given by 55t

Let P(t) be the number of pages to read where P is a function of time t (measured in hours)

So the number of pages left to read is given by

P(t)=550-55t

P(t)=55(10-t)

<h3>∴ the function formula for the number of pages left to read is given by P(t)=55(10-t).</h3>
