15 is 4% of what number?

1 answer:

8 0

Remember that 4% means 0.04 .
Also remember that "of" almost always means"times".

So the problem really says 15 = 0.04 x number

Divide each side of the equation by 0.04:

Number = 15/0.04 =<em> 375</em>

Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (-1,-1) and (1,0)

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

An equation in slope-intercept form of the line will be

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the points

(-1, -1)

(1, 0)

Finding the slope between (-1,-1) and (1,0)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:0\right)$

$m=\frac{0-\left(-1\right)}{1-\left(-1\right)}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

substituting m = 1/2 and (-1, -1) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation to determine the y-intercept

$y = mx+b$

$-1=\frac{1}{2}\left(-1\right)+b$

$-\frac{1}{2}+b=-1$

Add 1/2 to both sides

$-\frac{1}{2}+b+\frac{1}{2}=-1+\frac{1}{2}$

$b=-\frac{1}{2}$

substituting m = 1/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, an equation in slope-intercept form of the line will be

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

At the beginning of the month a store had a balance of −$554. During the month the store lost another $600. What is the current

musickatia [10]

When subtracting a number from a negative number the number appears to get larger, but in fact only becomes smaller. - 554 - 600 = - $1154

sean needs to finish reading his book in four days. he reads 1/3 of the book on the first day, 1/4 of the book on the second day

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

60 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1 : 1/3 book

Day 2: 1/4 book

Day 3: 1/5 book

Day 4: 13 pages

Total days 1 through 3 = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 = 20/60 + 15/60 + 12/60 = 47/60

Day 4 = 1 - 47/60 = 13/60
