Answer: $78

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the stock of Company A gained 2% today to $79.56. The opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day will be calculated as:

= [100% / (100% + 2%)] × 79.56

= (100% / 102%) × 79.56

= 1/1.02 × 79.56

= 79.56/1.02

= 78

Therefore, opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day is $78

45% of the population of a city are men

leonid [27]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf{ The number of children is \textbf{24150}.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the 45% of the population of a city are men and 15% are children . The number of women is 64,400 . And we need to find the number of children . Here ,

$\sf\implies Percentage_{(men)}= 45/% .\\\\\sf\implies Percentage_{(children)}= 15\% .$

So the percentage of women will be equal to [ 100 - ( 45 -15) ]% = [ 100 - 60 ]% = 40% .

So let us take the total number of people be x . So ,

$\purple{\bigstar}\underline{\underline{\boldsymbol{ According\ to \ Question :- }}}$

$\sf\implies 40\% \ of \ x \ = \ 64,400 \\\\\sf\implies \dfrac{40x}{100}= 64,400 \\\\\sf\implies x =\dfrac{64,400\times 100}{40}\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf x = 161,000 }}$

$\rule{200}2$

The percentage of children = 15% :-

$\sf\implies Number_{(children)}= 15\% \ of 161,000\\\\\sf\implies Number_{(children)}= \dfrac{15}{100}\times 161,000 \\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak {Number_{(children)}= 24150 }}}$

What is the slope of a line that has an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 0

ankoles [38]

x intercept of 6 means (6,0) is on the line

y intercept of 0 means (0,0) is on the line

so the slope is (0-0)/(6-0) = 0

Answer: 0

Note: The question is actually bad; the line through the origin with slope zero is the X axis itself in which case it wouldn't be right to call the X intercept (just) (6,0).

Explain how you can use a straightedge and a compass to construct and angle that is both congruent and adjacent to a given angle

lisov135 [29]

Explain how you can use a straightedge and a compass to construct and angle that is both congruent and adjacent to a given angle?

Answer: for this you will simply have to use the straightedge to draw two parallel lines and then you draw a line that goes through them that is perpendicular. You then use the compass to measure the angles, they should be congruent and adjacent.

I hope it helps, Regards.
