53.69*.15= 8.05
Change the 15% to a decimal before multiplying. Round answer to two decimal places since it is money (unless told otherwise)
A term that describes the fraction that has a variable or valuable expression proper factor
6/5y-10=-4
move -10 to the other side
sign changes from -10 to 10
6/5y-10+10= -4+10
6/5y= 6
Mutiply by 5/6 for both sides
6/5(5/6)y=6(5/6)
Cross out 6/5 and 5/6 , divide by 5 and 6 then becomes y
Cross out 5 and 6 on the right side
x= 5
Answer : x= 5
<span>75 kilograms
The equation given for BSA doesn't look correct, perhaps due to formatting issues involving a simple copy and paste without any proofreading afterwards. Doing a quick google search gives the Mosteller formula for BSA which is:
BSA = sqrt(W*H/3600)
This formula is quite likely the original target of the copy and paste since it has all of the correct values and it's likely that the square root symbol wasn't properly pasted, nor the horizontal bar indicating division. So I'll use the Mosteller formula in solving this problem:
First, solve for W, then substitute the known values and calculate:
BSA = sqrt(W*H/3600)
BSA^2 = W*H/3600
3600*BSA^2 = W*H
3600*BSA^2/H = W
3600*1.96^2/185 = W
3600*3.8416/185 = W
74.755 = W
So the weight of the adult is 75 kilograms.
If the incorrectly copied equation of Bâ˘Sâ˘A=Hâ‹…W3600 were to be used and if the missing operator between the W and the 3600 were a divide symbol, the calculated value would be 38 kg, which is rather light for someone 185 cm tall since the low end of healthy is 65 kg. And if the missing operator between the W and 3600 was a multiply, then the calculated weight would be 3 micrograms which is way too small for a human being, no matter how starved. However, the value calculated using the Mosteller formula would represent a BMI of 22 which is about average for a normal healthy adult.</span>
