Answer:

Lita estimates she will read 24 books during the summer. She actually reads 9 books. What is the percent error of her estimate? 62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{9}{24}  =  \frac{3}{8}  \\  = 0.375 \\  =  \frac{37.5}{100}  \\  = 37.5\% \\  \\ 100\% - 37.5\% \\  = 62.5\%

Stu Reese has a $150,000 7½% mortgage. His monthly payment is $1,010.10. His first payment will reduce the principal to an outst
BabaBlast [244]

Given that

starting outstanding balance = $150000

rate of interest = 7.5% per year

so rate of interest for 1 month = (7.5/12)% = 0.635%

outstanding balance before 1st monthly payment =  starting outstanding balance   +   0.625% of interest on  starting outstanding balance

= 150000 + (0.625 /100) × 150000

= 150000 + 937.5 = $150937.5

Reduction = outstanding balance after one month - first monthly payment

Reduction  = $150937.5 - 1010.10 = 149927.40

so out of first payment of $1,010.10 ,  $937.5  goes towards interest and remaining $72.6 goes towards reduction of principal that is 150000 - $72.6 = 149927.40.

so correct option is B that is $149927.40.

denis-greek [22]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  32.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all of the triangles in the figure.

  AD/AB = AB/AC

  AB^2 = AD·AC = 30·36

  AB = 6√30 ≈ 32.863

To the nearest tenth, AB ≈ 32.9.

Picture is shown above<br>suppose that y varies directly with x, and y=12 when x=15​
a_sh-v [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y is directly proportional to x,

we have y = kx, where k is a real constant.

When x = 15, y = 12.

=> (12) = k(15), k = 0.8.

Therefore we have y = 0.8x.

When x = 2, y = 0.8(2) = 1.6.

The answer is y = 1.6 when x = 2.
