Answer: a) 0.7
b) 70%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) There are 10 marbles.The red marbles are 7
so that 7/10
then change to decimal 7/10=0.7
b) if we get percentage *100
so, 7÷10*100%
70%
You got it right because you solved it correctly
Answer:
$20.85 less.
Step-by-step explanation:
City sales:
7% tax = 48.65
total bed cost = $743.65
Nearby City:
4% tax = 27.8
total bed cost = $722.8
city sale - nearby city
743.65 - 722.8
=20.85
Answers:
hypotenuse = 20 feet
longer leg = 16 feet
======================================================
Explanation:
c = x = length of the hypotenuse
a = x-4 = length of one of the legs
b = 12 = length of the other leg
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2
144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2
144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel
160-8x = 0
160 = 8x
8x = 160
x = 160/8
x = 20 is the hypotenuse
x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg
--------
Check:
12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400
20^2 = 400
Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.
