5 % of what number is 12

Mathematics

1 answer:

allochka39001 [22]3 years ago

6 0

Answer: 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing number be represented by p

5% of p = 12, where 5% = 5/100

Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as:

5/100 x p = 12

= 0.05p = 12

Divide both sides by 0.05 to get the value of p

0.05p/0.05 = 12/0.05

p = 240

Therefore, 5% of 240 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y – 1 = 2(x – 2)

Distribute

y-1 =2x-4

Add 1 to each side

Consider two people being randomly selected. (For simplicity, ignore leap years.)

inna [77]

Answer:

$(a) = \frac{144}{133225} \\\\(b) = \frac{1}{365}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a) the probability that two people have a birthday on the 9th of any month.

Neglecting leap year, there are 365 days in a year.

There are 12 possible 9th in months that make a year calendar.

If two people have birthday on 9th; P(1st person) and P(2nd person).

$=\frac{12}{365} X\frac{12}{365} = \frac{144}{133225}$

Part (b) the probability that two people have a birthday on the same day of the same month

P(2 people selected have birthday on the same day of same month) + P(2 people selected not having birthday on same day of same month) = 1

P(2 people selected not having birthday on same day of same month):

$= \frac{365}{365} X \frac{364}{365} =\frac{364}{365}$

P(2 people selected have birthday on the same day of same month) $= 1-\frac{364}{365} \\\\= \frac{1}{365}$

Numbers on the y-axis increase in which direction on a coordinate plane?

dalvyx [7]

Numbers on the y-axis on a coordinate plane increase in UP direction.

Left hand side is '-x', right hand side is 'x'

Up is 'y' and down is '-y'

Y is the vertical axis and X is horizontal axis.
