Remark
The trick here is to realize that you have to find the number both have in order to find the difference. That means you take (effectively) 3/8 and 5/8 to find out how much each of them has. The 8 stands for the 136
Step One
Find the number of stamps Alex has. Remember his ratio is the smaller so he will have 3/8
Alex = 3/8 * 136
Alex = 408/8 = 51
Step 2
Find the number that Freddy has.
The total is 136
<u>Formula</u>
Freddy = Total - Alex
Freddy = 136 - 51
Freddy = 85
<u>Check</u>
Let us see if 5/8 * 136 = 85
5*136/8 = 680 / 8 = 85 So your answers are correct.
Difference
Difference = 85 - 51 = 34 which is how many more stamps Freddy has than Alex.
now.. hmmm -8/15 is rather ambiguous, since the negative sign is in front of the rational, and either 8 or 15 can be negative, now, we happen to choose the 8 to get the minus, but it could have been 8/-15
ok, well hmm so, the issue boils down to
now, let's take a peek at the second angle, angle β
now, with that in mind, let's use the angle sum identity for cosine
Answer:
Oliver paid a total of $363.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount paid by Oliver on this dinner is given by the cost of their lunch (275) plus the tax (12%) plus the tip (20%). So in order to calculate this value we first need to know how much was paid in tax and the tip, these calculations are shown bellow:
tax = 275*12% = 275*(12/100) = 33
tip = 275*20% = 275*(20/100) = 55
So the total amount paid was:
total = 275 + 33 + 55 = $363
Oliver paid a total of $363.
Answer:
x = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve
this problem by using the formula:
1 +
fractional increase = (original employees + new employees) / original employees
Lets say,
x = original
employees
Therefore
substituting the known values:
1 + 0.05 = (x
+ 30) / x
1.05 x = x +
30
0.05 x = 30
x = 600
Therefore
the number of employees working now is:
<span>x + 30</span>
<span>= 630
employees</span>
