Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D

A 60-yard long drawbridge has one end at ground level. The other end is initially at an incline of 5°. During one stage of the d
AVprozaik [17]
The drawbridge will be at an incline of 10.56 degrees. That is 5.56 degrees more than it's initial incline of 5 degrees.

If you draw a picture of this situation, you will see that you can write a sine ratio with the 11 and 60 (opposite over hypotenuse)

sin(x) = 11/60  Solve the equation for x

x = 10.56
