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.

Answer:
20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that
we know that
Hector has 3/4 hour to spend his homework
Convert to minutes
so
1) He wants to spend 1/3 of this time on math homework
To find out the time on math homework, multiply 45 minutes by 1/3
2) He wants to spend 10 minutes of his time on reading homework
3) He wants to spend the remaining time on science homework
The time spend on math homework plus the time spend reading homework, plus the time spend on his science homework must be equal to 45 minutes
Let
x ----> the time spend on his science homework
Solve for x
Look for the y-intercept
since we know the slope is 3 we just going to plug in
-5=3(1)+y
-5-3=y
so the y-intercept is 8 now you can find the equation
y=3x-8
