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.

Easy i guess but i don’t understand
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

y = 1500 - 200x

Step-by-step explanation:

y would be the amount of water remaining in the pool

x would be the amount of hours that have passed.

So the only change I made was to convert 400 every 2 hrs to 200 every hour.

makes sense?

I have a question about polynomial division it is in the picture
Cloud [144]

To answer this question, we have to do the long division process for polynomials. We can do the operation as follows:

To do this division process, we have:

1. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first element of the divisor. They are:

\frac{-4x^3}{4x^2}=-x

2. Now, we have to multiply this result by the divisor, and the result will change its sign since we have to subtract that result from the dividend as follows:

-x\cdot(4x^2_{}-4x-4)=-4x^3+4x^2+4x

And since we to subtract this result from the dividend, we end up with:

-(-4x^3+4x^2+4x)=4x^3-4x^2-4x

3. Then we have the following algebraic addition:

\frac{\begin{cases}-4x^3+24x^2-15x-15 \\ 4x^3-4x^2-4x\end{cases}}{20x^2-19x-15}

4. Again, we need to divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor as follows:

\frac{20x^2}{4x^2}=5

5. And we have to multiply 5 by the divisor, and the result will be subtracted from the dividend:

5\cdot(4x^2-4x-4)=20x^2-20x-20

Since we have to subtract this from the dividend, we have:

-(20x^2-20x-20)=-20x^2+20x+20

6. And we have to add this algebraically to the dividend we got in the previous step:

\frac{\begin{cases}20x^2-19x-15 \\ -20x^2+20x+20\end{cases}}{x+5}

And this is the remainder of the division, x + 5.

As we can see from the division process, we got as:

1. The quotient: -x + 5

q=-x+5

2. The remainder: x + 5.

R=x+5

Since we have that the dividend = divisor * quotient + remainder.

Therefore, the result for this division is:

-4x^3+24x^2-15x-15=(4x^2-4x-4)\cdot(-x+5)+(x+5)
