Overall, the goal is to find the value of x and then use this and the given total to find the percentage of x. First, to do this, we must set up our equations based on the given information.

x + y + z = 510

z = (3/2)y

y = 3x

Now, we can begin to solve with substitution. The ultimate goal is to get the first equation to be regarding one variable and them work backwards using that found value.
Substitute the 3rd equation into the second.

z = (3/2)(3x) ----> Simply
z = (9/2)x

Now, when we plug in z and y into the first equation, only x will be present.

x + (3x) + (9/2)x = 510 ---> Combine like terms.
4x + (9/2)x = 510 ---> Get a common denominator.

(8/2)x + (9/2)x = 510

(17/2)x = 510 -----> Multiply both sides by 2/17

Now, if you understand what you are looking at, you know that you just found your answer which is 2/17 because you are about to multiply that by the total.

2/17 = .12 × 100 = 12%

If you did not know that, you can continue solving and then find the answer using part over whole or the total books of school x divided by the total books from all schools. You will get the same answer!

x = (2/17)×510
x = 60

60/510 = .12 × 100 = 12%

I hope this helps!

A mutual fund has total assets of $55,000,000 and total liabilities of $6,000,000. There are 1,500,000 shares outstanding. Find
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

$32.67

Explanation:

The net asset value can be calculated using the following equation:

\text{net asset value = }\frac{Total\text{ Assets - Total Liabilities}}{Number\text{ of outstanding shares}}

So, replacing the values, we get:

\begin{gathered} \text{net asset value = }\frac{55,000,000-6,000,000}{1,500,000} \\ \text{net asset value = }\frac{49,000,000}{1,500,000}=\text{ \$32.67} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the net asset value is $32.67

Find all values of c such that 3^2c+1=28*3^c-9. If you find more than one value of c, then list your values in increasing order​
avanturin [10]

3^{2c} + 1 = 28\times3^c - 9 \implies 3^{2c} - 28\times3^c = -10

Complete the square on the left side:

3^{2c} - 28\times3^c = \left(3^{2c}-28\times3^c+14^2\right)-14^2 = \left(3^c-14\right)^2 - 196

Then the equation becomes

\left(3^c-14\right)^2 - 196 = -10 \\\\ \left(3^c-14\right)^2 = 186 \\\\ 3^c - 14 = \pm\sqrt{186} \\\\ 3^c = 14\pm\sqrt{186}

Both 14 + √186 and 14 - √186 are positive numbers, so we can take the logarithm (base 3) of both sides without issue:

\log_3\left(3^c) = c = \log_3\left(14\pm\sqrt{186}\right)

Then in increasing order, the solutions are

<em>c</em> = log₃(14 - √186), <em>c</em> = log₃(14 + √186)
