Answer:

57.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Eva's score = x

Freya scores 25% more marks than Eva = x + 25%

Fred score = x + 0.25

Let Dominic's score = y

Eva scores 50% more marks than Dominic = 50% + y

Eva's score: x = 0.5 + y ....equation 1

Total marks the three children scored = 140 mark

Eva's score + Fed's score + Dominic's score = 140

x + x + 0.25 + y = 140

2x + y + 0.25 = 140 ...equation 2

Substitute the value of x (equation 1) in equation 2

2(0.5+y) + y + 0.25 + y = 140

1 + 2y + y + 0.25 + y = 140

1.25 + 3y = 140

3y = 140-1.25

3y = 138.25

y = 138.25/3

y = 46.25

Dominic's score = 46.25

Eva's score = x = 0.5 + 46.25 = 46.75

Fred's score = x + 0.25 = 46.75+ 0.25 = 47

Test total =80

Percentage Dominic scoref in the test = (46.25/80) × 100 = 57.8%

Points A, B, C, and D are the vertices of a square. Points E and F are the center of two congruent semicircles that are tangent
Masja [62]

Answer:

8 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area of shaded region:

area of square minus sum of areas of each semi-circle

A(square) = 6² = 36

A (semi-circle) = πr²/2

= π3²/2

= 4.5π

Since there are two semi-circles, that makes one complete circle with an area of 9π

A(circle) ≈ 28 sq units

36-28 = 8 sq units

The measures of a pair of consecutive angles of a parallelogram have the ratio 5:7. Find the measure of each angle of the parall
Margaret [11]
5 : 7 = 5x : 7x

Sum of a pair <span>of consecutive angles of a parallelogram = 180⁰.

5x+7x=180
12x = 180
x= 15

5x=15*5 = 75⁰
7x=15*7 = 105⁰

Two angles are 75⁰ each,
and 2 angles 105⁰ each.

Check:
Sum of angles in the </span><span>parallelogram is 360⁰.
</span><span>75*2 + 105*2 = 360
360 = 360 True

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
sattari [20]

Answer:

<h2>x = 9, y = -36 → (9, -36)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-3x-9\qquad(1)\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{3}x-39\qquad(2)\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2)}\\\\-3x-9=\dfrac{1}{3}x-39\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\-9x-27=x-117\qquad\text{add 27 to both sides}\\\\-9x=x-90\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-10x=-90\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\\\x=9

\text{Put the value of x to (1):}\\\\y=-3(9)-9\\\\y=-27-9\\\\y=-36
