X = .25 x 104 X=26
Y= 7/.10 Y=70
N= .8 x 70 N=56
n+y-x 56+70-26=100

70/100 = .7 or 70%
The answer is: Y is 70% of (n+y-x)

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate X using the following formula:

X = 25/100 * 104

X = 0.25 * 104

X = 26

Then we calculate Y using the following formula:

7 = 10/100 * Y

7 = 0.1 * Y

7/0.1 = Y

Y = 70

Then we calculate N as per the formula below:

N = 80/100 * Y

N = 0.8 * 70

N = 56

Finally using the formula mentioned in question we derive Y what percent of N + Y - X:

= Y/ (N + Y - X) * 100

= 70/ (56 + 70 - 26) * 100

= 70/100 * 100

= 70%

leva [86]

Answer:

  Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%

Explanation:

  Let number of students be 100.

  At Taylor Street School, 40% of the students bought lunch in the cafeteria today

 Number of students bought lunch = 100 x 40/100 = 40

 Of the students who bought lunch in the cafeteria today, 30% chose pizza as their entree

 Number of students bought pizza = 40 x 30/100 = 12.

 Probability of an outcome = Number of favorable outcome/ Total number of outcome

 Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = Number of students bought pizza/Total number of students

        = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%

  Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%

Variables x and y are in direct proportion, and y = 12.5 when x = 25. If x = 40, then y =
BabaBlast [244]
25/12.5 = 40/y
cross multiply
(25)(y) = (12.5)(40)
25y = 500
y = 500/25
y = 20 <====

(17 points) <br> Determine if line AB is tangent to the circle
zlopas [31]

1. If AB is tangent to the circle, then

18^2=(2\cdot7.2)^2+10.8^2

We have

18^2=324

(2\cdot7.2)^2+10.8^2=324

so AB is indeed tangent to the circle.

2. The unlabeled leg is another radius of the circle so it has length 8. Then if AB is tangent to the circle,

(10+8)^2=8^2+15^2

but we have

(10+8)^2=324

8^2+15^2=289

so that cannot be a right triangle and AB is not tangent to the circle.
