2500 + 20%=what's the answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
zysi [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  as written: 2500.2

  as intended: 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

20% = 0.2, so adding 0.2 to 2500 gives 2500.2

_____

We suspect you want to add 20% of 2500 to 2500. That is ...

  2500 + 20%×2500

  = 2500 + 0.20×2500

  = 2500 + 500

  = 3000

_____

<em>Comment on percentages</em>

A percentage is a pure number. It is a ratio of like quantities, so has no units.* A <em>useful</em> percentage always has a base. That is, it is a percentage <em>of something</em>. Sometimes that base may be unclear or unstated, in which case the percentage might very well be considered to be meaningless.

In any event, a percentage is simply a (unitless) fraction. The "%" symbol means the same thing as "/100", so 20% means 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5.

The very clear math expression 2500 +20% means simply 2500 + 1/5, which is the mixed number 2500 1/5 or the decimal value 2500.2. Usually, when we want to add a percentage to some value, we want the percentage to be <em>of the original value</em>. When that is written as a math expression, it must show this:

  2500 + 20% of 2500

  2500 + 20%×2500

  2500(1 +20%)

_____

* The concentration or potency of some medicines or other mixtures may be expressed as a percentage that is the ratio of one unit to a different unit, typically weight per volume. That is, a "0.1%" preparation may be 0.1 grams per 100 mL, for example. You have to read the label to determine whether this is the case. Mathematically, this is not a percentage, but is a non-standard use of the "%" symbol to indicate a ratio to 100 of something.

Find the sum or difference of (2m+7)-(3-4m)
pickupchik [31]
(2m + 7) - (3 - 4m) 

First distribute the (-) in front of the quantity of 3 - 4m. 
Think of it as this: 

-1(3 - 4m) 

You multiply each number inside the parenthesis by -1. 

So: 

3*-1 = -3
-4m * -1 = 4m

Now that you've distributed the negative you can remove the parenthesis. 
Now you'll just set it all up like you would any normal problem. Because -3 is negative you'll make it subtract.... I'll show you what I mean: 

2m + 7 - 3 +  4m 

Combine like terms (Terms which have the same variables... in this case the same number of m's)

Rearranging them can help!

4m + 2m + 7 - 3 

6m + 7 - 3

6m + 4, is our difference!

A scuba diver is 30 feet below the surface of the water 10 seconds after he entered the water and 100 feet below the surface aft
den301095 [7]

Answer:

2.3 feet/ second

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, we will have to find the difference in his distance travelled and divide it by the time taken to move that distance.

This is given by rate of change = (change in position)/ change in time

From the question, his position changed from 30 ft to 100 ft thus the distance he travelled is = 100ft - 30 ft = 70 ft.

Time taken to travel this distance = 40 seconds - 10 seconds = 30 seconds

Diver's rate of travel = 70 ft / 30 seconds = 2.33333ft/second.

Rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth, we have 2.3 ft/second
