The answer is: 4%  

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 5750 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 5750, so we can write it down as 100%=5750.

4. We know, that x% equals 230 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=230.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=5750

2) x%=230

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=5750/230

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 230 is what percent of 5750

100%/x%=5750/230

(100/x)*x=(5750/230)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x

100/25=x

4=x

x=4

now we have:

230 is 4% of 5750

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length is s = rФ, where Ф is the central angle.  This can be solved for Ф, the central angle:

         

        arc length

Ф  = ------------------

            radius

If the given arc length is represented by CO, then the central angle is

Ф = CO/(6 units)

You drink a beverage with 120 mg of caffeine. Each hour, the caffeine in your system decreases by about 12%. How long until you
uysha [10]

Answer:

  19.44 hours, about 19 hours 26 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation that describes your caffeine level can be written as ...

  c(t) = 120·(1 -0.12)^t . . . . where t is in hours and c(t) is in mg

We want to find t for c(t) = 10, so ...

  10 = 120(0.88^t)

  10/120 = 0.88^t . . . . . . . divide by 120

  log(1/12) = t·log(0.88) . . . take logarithms

  t = log(1/12)/log(0.88) ≈ 19.4386

It will take about 19.44 hours, or 19 hours 26 minutes, for the caffeine level in your system to decrease to 10 mg.
