Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we first subtract 25% from 100% so we can see what percent 15 is:

100 - 25 = 75 so 15 is 75% of ___:

This gives us a standard percentage problem, so:

75% = 0.75

we can rewrite the equation as a one-step equation:

15 = 0.75a

Dividing both sides by 0.75 and swapping sides gives

a = 15 ÷ 0.75 = 20

So the original price of the hat was $20

because 25% is 1/4, and 75% is 3/4 and 15 is therefore 3/4:

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 x 4 = 20

<span>Granola bars cost $1 each and the yogurt is $.50 per cup. If we plug this in to each equation, you'll see that 12 granola bars equals $12, and 7 cups of yogurt equals $3.50, for a total of $15.50. The second statement would yield $6 + $5.50, which equals $11.50.</span>

Suppose a triangle has 2 sides of length 3 and 4 and that the angle between these two sides is 60 degrees. what is the length of

shusha [124]

Answer:

$\boxed{b.\:\:\:\sqrt{13}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side of the triangle be $h\: units$ .

We can apply the cosine rule to find $h$ .

$h^2=3^2+4^2-2(3)(4)\cos(60\degree)$

We evaluate to obtain;

$\Rightarrow h^2=9+16-24(\frac{1}{2})$

$\Rightarrow h^2=25-12$

$\Rightarrow h^2=13$

We take the positive square root of both sides to obtain;

$\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{13}$

The correct answer is B.
