Answer:

18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't need to figure out how much each person needs, in dollars.

Rather, we can use the ratio to figure this out quickly.

The ratio of Steve, Elizabeth, and Andy is:

3:5:8

Ratio is parts, so in total there are:

3 + 5 + 8 = 16 parts

Out of which Steve will invest on "3" parts, so Steve will own 3 out of 16 parts in the business. This is our answer.

But we need the percentage, and percentage can be found by dividing and then multiplying the answer by 100. Lets do this:

3/16 = 0.1875

0.1875 * 100 = 18.75%

Steve owns 18.75% of the business

Please i need help :(
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

37 units

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{distance =  \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}  }}

Using the distance formula above,

distance between (15, -17) and (-20, -5)

=  \sqrt{[15 - ( - 20)]^{2}  + [ - 17 - ( - 5)] {}^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{(15 + 20)^{2} + ( - 17 + 5)^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{35 ^{2} + ( - 12) {}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{1225 + 144}  \\  =  \sqrt{1369}  \\  = 37 \: units

Is (2,3) a solution to the system of inequalities 4x+3y&lt;20 <br> 10x+y&gt;10
stiks02 [169]
Yes it is a solution because if you take the equation and plug the point in for the x and y :

4 (2) + 3 (3) < 20 
 8 + 9 < 20 
17 < 20
which is true

10 (2) + (3) > 10
20 + 3> 10
23>10
which is also true

Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75. She should subtract 2.75 from x.

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75.

She should write the equation as 8 (x - 2.75) = 78; as she spends $2.75 to make a necklace.

By using the correct equation: 8 (x - 2.75) = 78

=> 8x - 22 = 78

=> 8x = 78 + 22

=> 8x = 100

=> x = 100/8

=> x = 12.5

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Hope this helps you.
