Answer:

16.67% of cases of tapes were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of cases of tapes sold = 24

Thus is 20% of tapes left.

Let x be the total number of tapes left.

Thus, we can write:

$20\%\rimes x = 24\\\\\dfrac{20}{100}\times x = 24\\\\x = 24\times 5 = 120$

Thus, total number of tapes =

$=24 + 120 = 144$

Percentage of tapes sold =

$=\dfrac{24}{144}\times 100\% = 16.67\%$

Thus, 16.67% of cases of tapes were sold.

What is the distance between (-6,8) and (-3,9)

zaharov [31]

Use distance formula

= sqrt ( (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2) where the 2 points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

so answer is sqrt ((9-8)^2 + ((-3--6)^2) = sqrt (1 + 9) = sqrt 10

answer is sqrt 10 or 3.16 to nearest hundredth.

35,600 is 8.3% of what number

Over [174]

This question can be solved by:
$\frac{8.3}{100} = \frac{35,600}{x}$

Cross multiply to get: 8.3x = 3,560,000

To let the x stand along (since you are finding the x value), divide 8.3 to both sides of the equal sign.

$\frac{8.3x}{8.3} = \frac{3560000}{8.3}$

Simplify to get the answer.

What is 4/15 rounded to the neerset hundreth?<br> (i feel dumb for asking lol)

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

4 / 15 = 0.266

There are two parts to the decimal number above:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 266

Now, we will make the Fractional Part just two digits (nearest hundredth) by using our rounding rules.

In this case, Rule II applies, so 4/15 (or 0.266) rounded to the nearest hundredth in decimal format is:

0.27

What is the greatest common factor of 72x^2y and 18xy?

ELEN [110]

The GCF is the number or variables you can get out of a a term or multiple terms, when you get it out you have to be able to multiply it again and get the same terms as before for example the GCF of here is 18xy because both numbers can be divided in 18 and they both share 1 x and 1 y in common... Now divide to get your answer put the GCF outside the parenthesis and the numbers divided inside

18xy(4x + 1) if you do distributive property and multiply it you will get 72x2y+18xy see they match so the GCF of "18xy" is correct....

Hope this helped

A girl is on the beach and the angle of elevation from her feet to the top of a lighthouse is 62' If the lighthouse is 30ft tall

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets
