This is how you solve it; but first of all convert the percent into a decimal;55%= 0.55

0.55x = 164 (divide by 0.55 on both sides)
x = 164/0.55
x = 298.18 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
so 164 is 55% of 298.18(rounded)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is attached.

Looking at the diagram, we want the side "opposite" of the angle given and the side "adjacent" is given.

Which ratio relates opposite and adjacent? It is Tan.

We can use trigonometry and tan ratio to solve for the distance "x":

$Tan(84)=\frac{x}{650}\\x=Tan(84)*650\\x=6184.4$

D is the correct answer.

pat needs 14 sticks of pepperoni to make 28 pizzas.How many sticks of pepperoni are needed to make 36 pizzas

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

18 sticks of pepperoni

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to find out how many pepperoni sticks are needed for just 1 pizza. If it takes 14 sticks to make 28 pizzas, that means it takes only half a stick to make a single pizza.

Now that we have this information, we can multiply 1/2 by 36 to find out how many sticks of pepperoni are needed to make 36 pizzas.

$\frac{1}{2} * 36\\\\\frac{1}{2} * \frac{36}{1} \\ =\\\frac{36}{2} \\ =\\\frac{18}{1}$

Therefore, it takes 18 sticks of pepperoni to make 36 pizzas. I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)

Joan works on commission for a furniture store. She gets a base pay of $85 a day plus 6 percent of the

podryga [215]

Answer:

Correct expression: 85 + 0.06(t - 400)

Correct earnings: $91

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression Joan wrote is incorrect because instead, $85, she put $400 as her base salary. The correct expression would be 85 + 0.06(t - 400), where 85 is her base pay in dollars, and t - 400 represents her sales in dollars exceeding $400.

If Joan's sales were $500, she would not make $424.90, but

85 + 0.06(t - 400)

85 + 0.06(500 - 400)

85 + 0.06(100)

85 + 6

$91

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Andy
