Naddik [55]

Answer:

c = 1.05p

Step-by-step explanation:

the price of the hat before the increase was 100%, after the increase it becomes 100 + 5% = 105%. Representing it as a decimal becomes 1.05p

Let illustrate with an example.

The price of a hat was $100, after the 5% increase. the cost of the hat becomes

100 + (0.05 x 100) = 105

To find the percentage increase

divide 105 by 100 and subtract 1

(105/100) - 1 = 1.05

Calculate x Give your answer correct to 1 d.p. Х 35° 15 cm<br> it is a trigonometry question.​
OlgaM077 [116]

Here we are finding x, given the angle and adjacent side. To find x we will use the function cos as cos = a/h.

So let's do cos(35°) = 15cm / x

cos(35°) = 0.8 (1 dp)

x = 15 cm / cos(35°)

x = 18.3 cm (1 dp)
