Answer:

about  566.667  or to be exact:   1700/3

Step-by-step explanation:

85 is 15% of what number

We should translate this.

85 = 15% * (some number)

call that number x

85 = 15% *(x)

Solve for x

85 = 0.15 * x

x = 85/0.15 =  1700/3

x = 566.667

Answer:

We have, 15% × x = 85

or,  

15

100

× x = 85

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,

we have x = 85 ×  

100

15

x = 566.67

The plans for a new ammusement park were laid out on the first quadrant of a coordinate plane. The entrance to the roller coaste
Solnce55 [7]

The first step is to determine the distance between the points, (1,1) and (7,9)

We would find this distance by applying the formula shown below

\begin{gathered} \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} \\ \text{From the graph, } \\ x1\text{ = 1, y1 = 1} \\ x2\text{ = 7, y2 = 9} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(7-1)^2+(9-1)^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{6^2+8^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{100} \\ \text{Distance = 10} \end{gathered}

Distance = 10 units

If one unit is 70 meters, then the distance between both entrances is

70 * 10 = 700 meters

Mr. Akika has 49 21 cent and 31 cent stamps all told. The stamps are worth $13.39. how many of each kind of stamps does he have?
Lana71 [14]

Mr Akika has 18  21-cent stamp and 31 31-cent stamp.  

He has 49 21-cent and 31-cent stamps all told.

let

x = number of 21 cent stamp

y = number of 31 cent stamp

Therefore,

<h3>Total number of stamp:</h3>
  • x + y  = 49
<h3>Total cost of stamp:</h3>
  • 21x + 31y = 1339

Therefore,

x + y = 49

21x + 31y = 1339

21x + 21y = 1029

10y = 310

y = 310 / 10

y = 31

Therefore,

x = 49 - 31

x = 18

Therefore, Mr Akika has 18  21-cent stamp and 31 31-cent stamp.
