426 pencils were sold

985 - 559 = 426

We take the TOTAL amount of pencils, and subtract it from how MANY were left to find how much were sold.

Find the percent of the number.<br> 30% of 30 is<br> Explain your method.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The answer would be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 30.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$30=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=30\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

Therefore, 30% of 30 is 9

Square root of 75 plus square root of 3
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Answer:
6√3

Explanation:
Before we begin, remember the following:
\sqrt{a*b} = \sqrt{a}  *  \sqrt{b}
m \sqrt{a} + n \sqrt{a}  = (m+n) \sqrt{a}

Now, for the given:
75 can be written as 25*3
This means that:
\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25*3}
Applying the above concept, we can find that:
\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25*3} = \sqrt{25}  *  \sqrt{3}
Now, we know that:
√25 = 5 (we ignored the negative value)

This means that:
√75 = 5√3

Finally, we can compute the needed sum as follows:
√75 + √3 = 5√3 + √3 = 6√3

Hope this helps :)

Joy is planning to purchase a sweater that costs 30$ dollars at her local department store. The sweaters are on sale for for 20%
hichkok12 [17]
First we calculate 20% of the price:

20% of 30$ is 0.2*30$=6$.

Then we subtract 6$ (that is 20% of the price) from 30$, and get 24$.

Thus, the sale price is 24$

vertical angles are across from each other when 2 lines cross, they are like 5 and 2, 6 and 1, 7 and 4, 8 and 3
