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%?

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

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.

An orange has 20 fewer calories
Andreyy89

Answer:

90 calories in a banana.

Step-by-step explanation:

O = B - 20     where  O is the number calories in an orange and B is a that in  banana.

Also 7B = 9O

From the above   O = 7B / 9 so substituting in the first equation:

7B / 9 = B - 20

7B = 9B - 180

2B = 180

B = 90.

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x =
polet [3.4K]
The two angles are the same value. To find, think of the equation 3<em>x</em>+50=6<em>x</em>-10. Put the 6<em>x</em> to the other side of the equation. You shall get -3x+50=-10. Move the 50 to the other side, and you'll end up with -3<em>x</em>=-60. Divide each number by -3 to find <em>x</em> now. Your final answer will be <em>x=20</em>.

Answer: <em>x=20</em>

30 pts ! The height of the Ferris wheel in feet can be represented by the function 50 cos (π/15(x-10))+52 with time in x seconds
Dahasolnce [82]

h = 50 cos ( pie(x - 10 )/15 ) + 52

80 = 50 cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 ) + 52

80 - 52 = 50 cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 )

28 = 50 cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 )

cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 ) = 28/50

cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 ) = 56/100

cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 ) = cos ( 56 )

cos ( pie( x - 10 )/15 ) = cos ( 0.3111 pie )

Thus ;

pie( x - 10 )/15 = 0.3111 pie

( x - 10 )/15 = 0.3111

x - 10 = 15 × 0.3111

x - 10 = 4.6665

x = 10 + 4.6665

x = 14.6665 [ approximately ]

Thus the correct answer is exactly what u chose goodjob .....
