Answer:

The value of x increased by 3.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the value of x varies from x=2 to x=5.25.

We need to find the change is x.

If value of a variable x varies from a to b, then the change in te value of variable is

Change in x = b - a

For the given problem the variable is x, a=2 and b=5.25.

Change in x = 5.25 - 2

= 3.25

If the change is positive, then the value of variable increased and if the change is negative, then the value of variable decreased.

Therefore, the value of x increased by 3.25.

Store had a sale on our supplies the price p of each item was mark down 60% which expression represents the new price

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

0.4p or p-0.6p

Step-by-step explanation:

We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.

There are two ways to look at it:

For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 60% off is the sale, then we spend 40% or 100-60=40. 40% is 0.40. Multiply that by p an unknown price and we have 0.4p.

We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 60% is 0.60. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is p-0.6p.

How does the precise nature of mathematics OR the imprecise nature of language sometimes get in the way of understanding problem

Degger [83]

Answer:

This is because mathematics uses some theories that helps to change words to equations. for example, a tree of height 50m makes a shadow on the ground. an observer standing at angle of 30 degrees, calculate the distance of the man to the tree. we use the the formula, tan (30)=opp/adj

$1 \div \sqrt{3 } = 50 \div x$
