So you are buying a video game that is worth $40 and you had to use the sales tax, with is an extra $2, so the percentage would be 5% since 5% = $2 and when you finish filling the percentage to 100%, it would be 100% = $40.

Hope this helped!

The side length of a rectangular box with a square base is increasing at the rate of 2 ft/sec, while the height is decreasing at
shepuryov [24]
To solve the question we proceed as follows:
length=width=x ; g=height=h
thus
V=x*x*h
v=x^2h
dv/dt=2xh dx/dt+x^2 dh/dt
but
dx/dt=2 ft/sec
dh/dt=-2 ft/sec
thus plugging the values in the equation we get:
dv/dt=2×10×12+10²(-2)
dv/dt=240-200
dv/dt=40 ft³/sec

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

x = 15.2

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem on either half of the large triangle because you know one leg is 29/2 and the hypotenuse is 21

(29/2)² + x² = 21²

210.25 + x² = 441

x² = 230.75

x = \sqrt{230.75}

x = 15.2

A school will have a fall festival if at least 40% of the 500 students plan to attend. How many students must agree to attend in
artcher [175]

Answer:

200 students must agree to attend in order for the school to have the festival.

Step-by-step explanation:

200 is 40% of 500. We can also use fractions to figure this out.

\frac{40}{100} =\frac{x}{500}

For 100 to become 500 it must be multiplied by 5. And whatever we do to the denominator we have to do to the numerator. So we multiply 40 × 5 = <em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 200

\frac{40*5}{100*5} = \frac{x}{500}      

\frac{40}{100} =\frac{200}{500}

If pq = 23 and uv = 1/23, find the value of u×q×v×p. Explain which properties you used
zhannawk [14.2K]

Remember that multiplication is <em>commutative</em>, which means the order in which we multiply things doesn't matter.

The order of u × q × v × p (which we can abbreviate uqvp) isn't as important as the fact that <em>we're multiplying all four values together</em>. We could just as easily rewrite the expression as pquv, and it'd represent the same value.

To find this value then, we can simply multiply pq and uv - the values we already know - together.

If we start with the expression pq = 23, we can multiply either side by uv (taking advantage of the <em>multiplication property of equality) </em>to get

pquv = 23uv

And since we know that uv = 1/23, we can use the <em>substitution property of equality</em> to replace the uv on the right side with 1/23:

pquv = 23(1/23)

The <em>inverse property of multiplication </em>states that any number multiplied by its inverse (its reciprocal) gives us 1. 23 and 1/23 are reciprocals of each other, so 23(1/23) = 1, which means

pquv = 1

Finally, going back to the second paragraph, we can use the <em>commutative property of multiplication </em>to rearrange the left side of the equation, giving us the solution

uqvp = 1

Solve this system of equations.<br><br> 3x+4y=4<br> -x-3y=7
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

x = 8, y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the 2nd equation by 3, we get -3x-9y = 21. Then eliminating with the first equation we get -5y = 25. y = -5. Substituting this into the original equation, we get x = 8.
