image Alan, Benton, Claire, and Dita divided the cost of throwing a party as shown in the circle graph above. If Dita spent $ 12

$12 more than Claire on the party, how much did Benton spend?

Let total amount spent =x

Dita spent 35 % of total amount.

35% of x = 0.35x

So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x

% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x

We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,

so making equation we have ,

Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12

0.35x =0.2x +12

0.35x -0.2x = 12

0.5x =12

x=80

So total amount spent was $80.

Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16

So amount spent by Benton is $16.

Angle P is 3 more than twice angle M. If the two angles are complementary, find the measure of the two angles.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

  • 29° and 61°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Complementary angles sum up to 90°</em>

<u>Given</u>

  • P + M = 90°
  • P = 2M + 3°

<u>Substituting P in the first equation</u>

  • 2M + 3° + M = 90°
  • 3M = 87°
  • M = 29°

<u>Then </u>

  • P = 90° - 29° = 61°

1-i need to mix 25% mineral spirits to the varnish i am using what ratio of spirit to varnish am i using? 2-if i use 240 ml of v
zhenek [66]

Answer:

(1) The required ratio of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) You need 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) The ratio of tapestries' heights to width is 3:2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) If you need to mix 25% mineral spirit to the varnish, then the solution would contain 25% mineral spirit and 75% varnish.

So, \frac{spirit}{varnish}=\frac{25}{75}

                  =\frac{1}{3}

Thus, The required ratio of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) If you use 240ml of varnish, then this quantity is 75% of the total solution or ration of varnish to the total solution will be 3:4.

Let x be the quantity of total solution.

Then, 240:x=3:4.

⇒\frac{240}{x}=\frac{3}{4}

⇒3x=240*4

⇒x=\frac{240*4}{3}

⇒x=320

That is, total solution is 320 ml.

Now, Spirit = Total solution - Varnish

⇒Spirit = 320ml-240ml

⇒Spirit = 80ml

Hence, if you use 240 ml of varnish, you need 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) Robison's tapestries all measure 1.5m long and 1m wide. First, we express dimensions in whole numbers by multiplying them by 10.

Then, dimensions are 15m long and 10m wide.

Now, Height : Width = 15:10

⇒\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{15}{10}

⇒\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{3}{2}

Hence, the ratio of tapestries' heights to width is 3:2.

Suppose you need to know an equation of the tangent plane to a surface S at the point P(4, 1, 4). You don't have an equation for
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

15x-8y+9z=88

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Equation of curves

r_1(t)=

r_2(u)=

Both curves lie on S.

We have to find the equation of tangent plane at P(4,1,4).

r'_1(t)=,r'_2(u)=

r_1(0)=, r_2(1)=

Hence, t=0 and u then it satisfied the given point.

Substitute the values in the derivatives

r'_1(0)=,r'_2(1)=

r'_1(0)\times r'_2(1)=\times =

The equation of tangent at point P(4,1,4) is given by

30(x-4)-16(y-1)+18(z-4)=0

30x-120-16y+16+18z-72=0

30x-16y+18z=176

15x-8y+9z=88
