Answer:

The number is 875

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One:

Convert 40% to a decimal --> .40

Step Two

525 = n - .40n

(525 is equal to a number minus forty percent of a number )

Step Three

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

N = 875

Answer:

875

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the original amount X

the new amount = X - ( X × 40% )

525 = (60 × X) ÷ 100

X = ( 525 × 100 ) ÷ 60

<u>X = 875</u>

What is the range of F(x) = -4cos2x?
MArishka [77]
Assuming you want the range of
   -4cos(2x)

the range of the cosine function is -1 to 1. When that is scaled by a factor of -4, it becomes 4 to -4.

The range of F(x) is [-4, 4] in interval notation.


_____
If you want the range of 
   F(x) = -4cos²(x)
that range will be -4×[0, 1] = [-4, 0].

Problem of the Week (POW) for May 1 - May 8

Answer:

Becky saves $4.86 by choosing to buy 18 bulbs in the 3 package sets  

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky has 2 options here. She can buy 3 for $4.20 or 2 for $3.34. We can easily determine the prices because both 2 & 3 are factors of 18.

18 / 3 = 6, so multiply 6 * 4.20 to see that 18 bulbs will cost $25.20

18 / 2 = 9, so multiply 9 * 3.34 to see that 18 bulbs will cost $30.06

Now, we can see that buying sets of 3 is cheaper, we need to determine how much we are saving by choosing the cheaper option. (Use subtraction)

$30.06 - $25.20 = $4.86

Becky saves $4.86 by choosing to buy 18 bulbs in the 3 package sets
