Well we know 4% is just 4/100.

So 20 = 4/100.

Let's find out what 1/100 is and multiply that by 100:

20/4 = 5.

So 1/100 = 5.

5*100 = 500.

Answer:

.04 * x = 20

x = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

4% is just 4/100 or .04

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0.04x=20

Step 1: Divide both sides by 0.04.

0.04x / 0.04 = 20 / 0.04

x=500

Answer:

242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

in a triangle two sides of the same length the ratio of each of these sides to the third side is 5:3 if the perimeter of the tri

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle equals side 1 plus side 2 plus side 2

P = s1 + s2 + s3 side 1 = side 2 = x

x/side 3 = 5 / 3

x = (5/3) side 3

x (3/5) = side 3

perimeter = 65 slove for x

65 = x + x + 3x/5

325 = 5x + 5x + 3x

325 = 13X

25 = x equal side 1 and side 2

side 3 = 25(3/5) = 15
