100%/x%=148/43
<span>(100/x)*x=(148/43)*x       - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>100=3.44186046512*x       - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (3.44186046512) to get x
<span>100/3.44186046512=x </span>
<span>29.0540540541=x </span>
<span>x=29.0540540541

</span>now we have: 
<span>43 is 29.0540540541% of 148</span>

First, calculate how many reams remain
remaining = 148 - 43
remaining = 105
There are 105 reams of paper remains

Second, change 105 reams into percentage
p = \dfrac{105}{148} \times 100 \%
p = \left(\dfrac{105 \times 100}{148}\right) \%
p = \left(\dfrac{10,500}{148}\right) \%
p = 70.945945945...%
to the nearest tenth
p = 70.9%

The percentage of paper remains is approximately 70.9%

natka813 [3]

Answer: (1.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The shape of his satellite can be modeled by y^2=6x where x and y are modeled in inches.

Now,the given equation y^2=6x is a equation of parabola.

Here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

On comparing this equation with standard equation x^2=4mx, we get

4m=6\\\Rightarrow\ m=\frac{6}{4}=1.5

In standard equation, coordinates of focus=(m,0)

Thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(1.5,0)
