Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice. 

It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.

Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000

Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.

Eddi Din [679]
20,000 = P ( 1 + 0.1 )^4
20,000 = P * 1.1^4
20,000 = P * 1.461
P = 20,000 : 1.461 ≈ $13,689.25

How do it do this ????
V125BC [204]
Because he drove 1542.75 miles in 3 days, you would have to divide 1542.75 by 3 to figure out how many miles he drove in one day.

1542.75/3 = 514.25

Then to figure out how many miles he drove per hour, you would divide 514.25 by 8.5, which is the same as 8 1/2 hours.

514.25/8.5 = 60.5

So the answer is 60.5 mph

A direct variation function includes the ordered pair (4, 5). Which statement is true? The constant of variation k is mc001-1.jp
devlian [24]
A direct variation suggest that the value of x in the equation would greatly affect the value of y such that when x is increasing, y also increases and the other way around. The equation for a direct variation is that,
                               y  = kx
Substituting the given values in the ordered pair,
                           5 = k(4)   ; k = 5/4

Vlada [557]

Answer:

25 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal

5x+15 = 6x -10

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x+15 = 6x-5x -10

15 = x - 10

Add 10 to each side

15+10 = x-10+10

25 = x
