Answer:

102 lightbulbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer you have to read into the problem this is important on things like this. These are the key words you need to look for, (Checked), (Defective) as well as the percentages and numbers so 15% and 680 are important as well. In the problem is says the "a salesclerk found that 15% of 680 lightbulbs were defective" then it ask "how many lightbulbs were found to be defective" because he said that 15% of the 680 were defective you have to find out what number makes up that 15% of the defective bulbs, In order to do this you 1.) turn 15% into a decimal making it .15

2.)  You multiply your decimal by your total which is 680 so it would like this .15 x 680 this would =  120

so your answer is 120.

this is better explanation NOTE THIS IS A EXAMPLE THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER PROBLEM!!!

How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

Example: What is 10% of 150?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10

Substitute 0.10 for 10% in the equation: 10% * 150 = Y becomes 0.10 * 150 = Y

Do the math: 0.10 * 150 = 15

Y = 15

So 10% of 150 is 15

Double check your answer with the original question: What is 10% of 150? Multiply 0.10 * 150 = 15

Lesson 10.2 area of composite figures worksheet assigment
denis23 [38]

The composite figure includes a rectangle and trapezoid

The area of the composite figure is 810.5cm².

<h3>How to determine the area?</h3>

From the complete question, we have the following parameters:

Shapes: Rectangle and trapezoid

The area of the rectangle is:

Area = Length × Width

So, we have:

Area = 15 × 23

Area  = 345cm²

The area of the trapezium

Area = 0.5 × (a + b) ×h

So, we have:

Area = 0.5 × (15 + 34) × 19

Area = 0.5 × 49 × 19

Area = 465.5cm²

Add both areas to calculate the area of the composite figure

Total area = 345cm² + 465.5cm²

Total area  = 810.5cm²

Hence, the area of the composite figure is 810.5cm².

Find area round to nearest tength I’ll mark brainest
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

12.5 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the blue triangle into two smaller triangles.

The length of their common base = 5 units

The height of the <u>yellow</u> triangle = 2 units

The height of the <u>red</u> triangle = 3 units

The area of the yellow triangle

= (5×2)÷2

= 5 sq. units

The area of the red triangle

= (5×3)÷2

= 7.5 sq. units

The total area

= 5+7.5

= 12.5 sq. units

Could someone help me on this
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

13.) 314.2 in²

15.) 181.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is found using the equation:

A = πr²

In this equation, "π" represents the number pi (3.14....) and "r" represents the radius (half the diameter).

For 13.), you have been given the radius. Thus, you can substitute it into the equation and solve for "A".

A = πr²

A = π(10)²

A = π x (100)

A = 314.2 in²

For 15.), you have been given the diameter. To find the radius, you need to divide this value by 2. Once you find the radius, you can plug it into the equation and simplify like above.

diameter = 15.2 ft
radius = 7.6 ft

A = πr²

A = π(7.6)²

A = π x (57.76)

A = 181.5 ft²
