If you have a calculator:
<span>1) To find 1%, divide by 100 (70 / 100 = 0.7) </span>

<span>2) Then, multiply by the % you need (0.7 x 13 = 9.1) </span>

<span>Therefore 70 - 9.1 = 60.9 </span>

<span>If you don't have a calculator: </span>
<span>1) Find 50%, 10%, 5%, and 1%. With these, you can make any % you need. </span>
<span>50% = X / 2 (= 35) </span>
<span>10% = X / 10 (= 7) </span>
<span>5% = first, do 10%, then divide that by 2 (= 3.5) </span>
<span>1% = X / 100 (= 0.7) </span>
<span>Where X is the number you want to work out % for </span>

<span>2) Add those % up to get the amount you want </span>
<span>10% + 1% + 1% +1% = 13% </span>
<span>7 + 0.7 + 0.7 + 0.7 = 9.1 </span>

<span>Therefore 70 - 9.1 = 60.9
Hope that helps :)</span>

The equation of a circle is ( x - 3) 2 + ( y + 2) 2 = 25. The point (8, -2) is on the circle.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

x =8 is the equation of the tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the equation of the given circle is: $(x-3)^{2} + (y+2)^{2} = 25$

Now, comparing it with the general equation of circle: $(x-h)^{2} + (y -k)^{2} = r^2$

we get the central coordinates (h,k) = (3,-2)

So, the slope of the line joining center and (8, -2) = $\frac{-2 -(-2)}{8-3} = \frac{0}{5} = 0$

Since the slope of line = 0, line is parallel to x axis.

Now, as tangent and the line is perpendicular to each other

⇒Slope of the tangent = -1/ slope of the line = $\frac{-1}{0}$

Now, by point slope formula: the equation of the tangent is

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

or, $(y +2) = \frac{-1}{0} (x -8)$

or x =8 is the equation of the tangent.
