Answer: The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The original secretary's salary (x) multiplied by the percentage reduction in decimal form (4.5/100) must be equal to the amount of the reduction (1890)

Mathematically speaking:

x (4.5/100)= 1890

Solving for x:

x (0.045)= 1890

x = 1890/ 0.045

x = 42,000

The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.

Answer:

The correct option is D ....

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle is ending at the point = (-3, -4)

Signs of both x and y are negative therefore it is in the third quadrant.

To find the the tangent of an angle we have to find  the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.

In this question the opposite side of the angle is of 4 units and the adjacent side of the angle is 3 units.

tanθ = y/x

tanθ = -4/-3

tanθ = 4/3

Thus the correct option is D ....

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Adults $ 17

Students: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Adults: x

Students: y

a) 25x + 31y = 673

b) 27x +31y = 707

Elimination:

a) -1(25x + 31y = 673) = -25 -31y = -673

a + b

= (-25 -31y = -673) + (27x + 31y = 707)

= 2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Substitution a or b:

a) 25(17) + 31y = 673

425 + 31y = 673

31y = 673 - 425

31y = 248

y = 248/31

y = 8
