The total amount is $ 780

Solution:

Let the total amount be "x"

Given that,

First person gets $ 268

Second person gets $ 200

Third person gets 40 %

This means, third person gets 40 % of total amount

Third person = 40 % of x

$Third\ person = 40 \% \times x\\\\Third\ person = \frac{40}{100} \times x\\\\Third\ person = 0.4x$

We know that, total amount is equal to sum of amount got by all three persons

Total amount = first person + second person + third perosn

$x = 268 + 200+ 0.4x\\\\x - 0.4x = 268 + 200\\\\0.6x = 468\\\\x = \frac{468}{0.6}\\\\x = 780$

Thus the total amount is $ 780

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, = 6 centime

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) see the explanation

Part C) The perimeter of trapezoid ABCD is 32 centimeters and the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

Part A) Write a similarity statement for each of the four pair of corresponding sides

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

The corresponding sides are

AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

AD and EH

$\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{BC}{FG}=\frac{CD}{GH}=\frac{AD}{EH}$

Part B) Write a congruence statement for each of the four pair of corresponding angles.

we know that

If two figures are similar, then its corresponding angles are congruent

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠E

∠B and ∠F

∠C and ∠G

∠D and ∠H

∠A ≅ ∠E

∠B ≅ ∠F

∠C ≅ ∠G

∠D ≅ ∠H

Part C) Determine the perimeter for each of the isosceles trapezoids

we have

The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

step 1

Find the measure of CD

Remember that

The ratio between corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{GH}}$

we have

$GH=6\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{6}}\\\\CD=4\ cm$

step 2

Find the measure of AB

Remember that

AB is three times the length of DC

$AB=3DC$

$DC=CD=4\ cm$

substitute

$AB=3(4)=12\ cm$

step 3

Find the measure of BC

Remember that in an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal

BC=AD

we have

$AD=8\ cm$

therefore

$BC=8\ cm$

step 4

Find the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

$P=AB+BC+CD+AD$

substitute the values

$P=12+8+4+8=32\ cm$

step 5

Find the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x ----> the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

y ----> the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=32\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{y}$

$y=32(3)/2=48\ cm$

therefore

The perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

How to calculate intrest

Goryan [66]

Answer:

You can calculate Interest on your loans and investments by using the following formula for calculating simple interest: Simple Interest= P x R x T ÷ 100, where P = Principal, R = Rate of Interest and T = Time Period of the Loan/Deposit in years.

Formula: Simple Interest=P×r×t where: P=Principal amount; r=Annual interest rate; t=...

Principal Amount: Principal Amount remains constant on Simple Interest

Meaning: Simple Interest is calculated on the Principal Amount for the entire tenure

Calculation: It is easy to calculate Simple Interest

7. A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. What is the effective

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The banker's rule is the simple interest formula.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly) and t is the time, in years.

The effective interest rate is given by the following formula:

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. We consider that the year has 360 days. This means that $P = 6200, I = 0.0884, t = \frac{40}{360} = \frac{1}{9}$ .

$E = 6200*0.0884*\frac{1}{9} = 60.9$

The effective interest rate is

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P} = \frac{60.9}{6200} = 0.0098 = 0.001$

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

Leena knits 10 rows in 12 min. At this pace, how long will it take her to knit the next 25 rows?

tatiyna

For 10 rows, she takes = 12 min.
So, for 1 row, she'll take = 12/10

Now, for 15 rows, it would be: 12/10 * 25 = 12/2 * 5 = 60/2 = 30

So, Your Final Answer would be 30 minutes

Hope this helps!
