Change 28% to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left:

28% = 0.28

Write the question as an equation to get:

56 = 0.28x

Now to solve for x, divide both sides by 0.28:

x = 56 / 0.28

x = 200

The unknown number is 200.

Answer:

X=200

Step-by-step explanation:

56/x = 28/100

cross multiply 56*100 and 28*X

you get 5600 = 28x

reduce them by dividing both by 7, resulting in

800 = 4x

divide both sides by 4 and switch sides

200 = X

X=200

James had $15,345.21 withheld from his income one year. He

puteri [66]

Answer:

$2,373.23

Step-by-step explanation:

-Tax refund is determined by comparing your total income tax to the amount that was withheld for federal income tax.

-Assuming that the amount withheld for federal income tax was greater than your income tax for the year, you will receive a refund for the difference.

#Refund =Withheld -Actual Tax liability=$15345.21-$12971.98=$2,373.23

Hence James' tax refund will be $2,373.23

A quadrilateral has vertices at A(-5,5), B(1,8), C(4,2), and D(-2,-2). Use slope to determine if the quadrilateral is a rectangl

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle

then

Opposite sides are congruent and parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

A(-5,5), B(1,8), C(4,2), and D(-2,-2)

Plot the figure to better understand the problem

see the attached figure

Find the slope of the four sides and then compare

step 1

Find slope AB

A(-5,5), B(1,8)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{8-5}{1+5}$

$m=\frac{3}{6}$

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

step 2

Find slope BC

B(1,8), C(4,2)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{2-8}{4-1}$

$m=\frac{-6}{3}$

$m_B_C=-2$

step 3

Find slope CD

C(4,2), and D(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-2-2}{-2-4}$

$m=\frac{-4}{-6}$

$m_C_D=\frac{2}{3}$

step 4

Find slope AD

A(-5,5), D(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-2-5}{-2+5}$

$m=\frac{-7}{3}$

$m_A_D=-\frac{7}{3}$

step 5

Verify if the opposites are parallel

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

The opposite sides are

AB and CD

BC and AD

we have

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

$m_C_D=\frac{2}{3}$

$m_A_B \neq m_C_D$

It is not necessary to continue verifying, because two of the opposite sides are not parallel

therefore

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle
