Answer:

20

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

OR

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

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 x 4 = 20

Write the interval (5,100] as an inequality and using set notation
drek231 [11]

Answer: { x | 5 < x ≤ 100 }  OR  { x ∈ ℝ | 5 < x ≤ 100 }

Step-by-step explanation:

{ x | 5 < x ≤ 100 }

This means:

"The set of all x's, such that x is greater than 5 and less than or equal to 100"

Another acceptable way to write this is

{ x ∈ ℝ | 5 < x ≤ 100 }

"x ∈ ℝ" simply means x is an element of all real numbers

A plant is 20 inches tall. If the plant grows 2h inches each week for the next 4 weeks, and h inches for each of the 2 weeks aft
FromTheMoon [43]
A) 20+10h

You know that you have 20 inches to start with, then it will grow 2h four times, or 8h total. Then it will grow h 2 times, or 2h. You add the 20, 8h, and 2h, to get 20+10h.

Hope this helps!

assuming the growth rate stays constant at 1.2%, how many doublings would take place in a 500- year period?
Juliette [100K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...

  1.012^500

The number of doublings is the solution to ...

  2^n = 1.012^500

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)

  n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046

About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.

Yara multiplies and divides a certain number by the same
Butoxors [25]

For this case we have to:

x: Represents the unknown number

y: Represents the exponent of base 10

So, considering a system of equations we have:

x * 10 ^ y = 40,000\\\frac {x} {10 ^ y} = 0.000004

From the first equation we have:

10 ^ y = \frac {40,000} {x}

Substituting in the second equation:

\frac {x} {\frac {40,000} {x}} = 0.000004\\\frac {x ^ 2} {40,000} = 0.000004\\x ^ 2 = 40,000 * 0.000004\\x ^ 2 = 0.16\\x = \pm \sqrt {0.16}

We choose the positive value:

x = 0.4

So, the number is 0.4.

So:

10 ^ y = \frac {40,000} {0.4}\\10 ^ y = 100,000\\y = 5

Thus, the exponent is 5.

Answer:

Yara use 0.4 and10 ^ 5
