Answer:

x^2 -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a quadratic equation as

ax^2 + bx + c

x^2 -2x +

Comparing the two equations

a = 1 , b = -2, c = ?

c becomes the missing part

Divide b by 2

-2/2 = -1

square the result

-1^2

= 1 this is what to add to get a perfect square

x^2 -2x + 1

(x - 1)^2

Toys for Tots collected 100 toys on Saturday. If this was 80% of the goal the set to collect over the weekend, what was their go

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Their goal was to collect 125 toys.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{100 toys}{80 percent}$

$\frac{125 toys}{100percent}$

Whatever you do to one side you must do to another. To get from 80 to 100% of your goal, you must multiply 80 by 1.25 . Because we did this to one side, we had to do it to the other. 100 toys multiplied by 1.25 is 125 toys.
