By what percent will the product of two numbers increase if one of them is increased by 15% and the other is increased by 40%?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

61% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Product of two numbers = x * y = xy

(x + 15%) * (y + 40%)

Due to the fact that x and y are variables, we can add the percents to them

1.15x * 1.4y

Multiply

1.61xy

Calculate percent increase

1.61xy (new amount) - xy (original amount)

------------------------------------------------------------      * 100

                   xy (original amount)

Simplify

.61xy

---------  * 100      =     61%

  xy

61% increase

Hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions about my answer.

Hello whats is the size of the angle
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle of the triangle and 140° are adjacent and supplementary, thus

interior angle = 180° - 140° = 40°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

105° is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

x + 40° = 105° ( subtract 40° from both sides )

x = 65°

Mary has 60 candy pieces and 45 chocolates. She wants to distribute the candy to her little sister's friends at her birthday par
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy pieces = 60

Chocolate = 45

What should be the smallest number of her sister's friends for the distribution of candy and chocolate so each friend gets an equal number of candy pieces and chocolates in a way that there should not be left any chocolate or candy pieces left over?

To calculate this, find the lowest factor of 60 and 45

60:

Factors = 2, 4, 5, 6,

45:

Factors= 3, 5, 9

The lowest common factor of 60 and 45 is 5

The smallest number of her sister's friend so each person get an equal number of candy pieces and chocolate so there won't be any leftover is 5

That is

If there are 5 friends at the birthday party

60 candy pieces among 5 friends

= 60/5

= 12 pieces each

45 chocolate among 5 friends

= 45/5

= 9 each
