If 28% of a sum is $100.80, what is the sum?

1 answer:

7 0

Call the sum S. Then, you can use the definition of percentage to obtain an equation to find the value of S: 1) 28% = 28 / 100; 2) 28% of x = (28/100)x; 3) that is equal to $100.80 => (28/100)x = 100.8 => x = 100.8 * 100 / 28 => x = 360. You can verify that the 28% of 360 is 100.80: 360 * 28/100 = 100.80. Then, the answer is $360.

Two corresponding sides of similar triangles are 2 cm and 5 cm. What is the area of the second triangle if the area of the first

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

(1) Area of second triangle= 50 cm^2.

(2) Area of ΔABC=98 cm^2.

and Area of ΔDFG=175 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

" For two similar triangles the ratio of sides is equal to the ratio of square of their areas".

i.e. if a,b are the corresponding sides of two similar triangles and let A and B denote the area of two triangles then we have the relation as:

$\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}$

(1)

for the first question:

we have a=2, b=5.

A=8 cm^2.

Hence,

$\dfrac{2^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{8}{B}\\\\\dfrac{4}{25}=\dfrac{8}{B}$

B=50 cm^2.

Hence, the area of second triangle is 50 cm^2.

(2)

In second option we have:

a=6 and b=5.

A-B=77 cm^2.

A=77+B

$\dfrac{6^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}\\ \\\dfrac{36}{25}=\dfrac{77+B}{B}\\ \\36B=25\times77+25B\\\\36B-25B=25\times77\\\\11B=25\times77\\\\B=25\times7\\\\B=175$

Hence area of second triangle i.e. ΔDFG is 175 cm^2.

and area of first triangle i.e. ΔABC=175-77=98 cm^2.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first, we need to find the weight of the table. We know that 8 boxes weighs a total of 240kg (since each box weights 30kg). Thus, we can conclude that the table weighs 70kg by doing 310-240=70.

Now, we can write our function. Let $x$ equal the amount of boxes.
