We can use x to represent the total vacation budget.
x times .19 = 285
(a percentage is really just a decimal)
x = 285/.19
x = 1500
Final Answer: the total vacation budget is $1500
The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.
To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).
3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3
The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.
Answer:
3/4 (the first option)
16.666666667 rounded to the nearest tenth is 16.7. Rounded to the nearest "tenth" means rounded to one decimal place.
Answer:
x + y = 745
23.50x + 58.75y = 29,668.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 745 copies were sold and x represents the number of copies of the home edition sold and y represents the number of copies of the business edition sold:
x + y = 745
Since the home edition costs $23.50, and the business edition costs $58.75:
The money earned from home edition is = 23.50x
The money earned from business edition is = 58.75y
Since the company earned $29,668.75:
23.50x + 58.75y = 29,668.75
