Answer:
18....I hope thats righ
Step-by-step explanation:
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
√117²=x²+6²
117=x²+36
x²=117-36
x²=81
x=9
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer we can find the amount he will get paid separately.
The amount he will get paid on site A:
0.75 x 5
=$3.75
The amount he will get paid on site B:
0.25 x 5
= $1.25
To find the amount Joe get paid at site A than at site B, we can deduct the amount he get from site B by the amount he get from site A:
= 3.75 - 1.25
= $2.50
Therefore $2.50 is the answer.
Hope it helps!
