Answer:

r = 43.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Current\ Rent = r

Increment = 15\%

New\ Rent = \$51

Required

Determine the value of r

The value of r can be set up percentage increase formula as follows:

\%Increment  = \frac{New\ Rent - Current\ Rent}{Current\ Rent}

Substitute values in the above equation

15\% = \frac{51 - r}{51}

Cross Multiply

51 - r = 15\% * 51

Convert percentage to decimal

51 - r = 0.15 * 51

51 - r = 7.65

And the value of r\ is\ calculated\ using:

r = 51 -7.65

r = 43.35

Hence, Cody's current rent is $43.35 monthly

If a ∝ b and a = 18 when b = 3, then find a when b = 5.
Elden [556K]

"a ∝ b" means "a is proportional to b", which in turn means there is some constant k such that

a = kb

We're given that a = 18 and b = 3, so that

18 = 3k   ⇒   k = 6

Then when b = 5, we would have

a = 6 × 5 = 30

Convert 11.42424242 to a rational expression in the form of a/b , where b ≠ 0.
TiliK225 [7]
11.424242
isolate the repeating part
11+0.424242

focus on the repeating part
0.42424242
how many places till it repeats again?
2
let's say it is x
x=0.42424242
multiply by 100
100x=42.424242

subtract them
100x-x=42.42424242-0.42424242
the infinite repeats cancel and we get
99x=42
divide by 99
x=\frac{42}{99}



so
11.\overline{42}=11 \space\ \frac{42}{99}
