Answer:

1) 25%

2) $17.54

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The boots were reduced from $80 to $60, therefore the total amount they were reduced by in terms of money is $20. To find out what percentage $20 is of $80, you divide.

20/80 = 0.25

0.25 = 25 % (to change a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100)

2) 20% = 0.20 (to change a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100)

To find 20% of $87.70, multiply 0.20 by 87.70.

87.70 x 0.20 = 17.54

In May Mr. Lee's earings were 60 percent of the Lee family's total income. In June Mr. Lee earned 20 percent more than in May. I

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: 64.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total earnings of the Lee family in May be x

Amount earned by Mr Lee in May = 60% of x = 0.6x

Amount earned by other family members in May = x - 0.6x (total earnings - Mr Lee's earnings) = 0.4x

Amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 20% more than what Mr Lee earned in May.

That is, amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 1.2 × 0.6x = 0.72x

Amount earned by other members of the family in June remains unchanged, that is = 0.4x

Total amount earned by the Lee family in June = 0.72x + 0.4x = 1.12x

Percentage of total earnings in June earned by Mr. Lee = (0.72x/1.12x) × 100% = 64.29%.

Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 2 kilograms and was lifted at a speed of 2m/sec. the other had a

OLga [1]

Sadly, after giving all the necessary data, you forgot to ask the question.
Here are some general considerations that jump out when we play with
that data:

For the first object:
The object's weight is (mass) x (gravity) = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6 newtons
The force needed to lift it at a steady speed is 19.6 newtons.
The potential energy it gains every time it rises 1 meter is 19.6 joules.
If it's rising at 2 meters per second, then it's gaining 39.2 joules of
potential energy per second.
The machine that's lifting it is providing 39.2 watts of lifting power.
The object's kinetic energy is 1/2 (mass) (speed)² = 1/2(2)(4) = 4 joules.

For the second object:
The object's weight is (mass) x (gravity) = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 newtons
The force needed to lift it at a steady speed is 39.2 newtons.
The potential energy it gains every time it rises 1 meter is 39.2 joules.
If it's rising at 3 meters per second, then it's gaining 117.6 joules of
potential energy per second.
The machine that's lifting it is providing 117.6 watts of lifting power.
The object's kinetic energy is 1/2 (mass) (speed)² = 1/2(4)(9) = 18 joules.

If you go back and find out what the question is, there's a good chance that
you might find the answer here, or something that can lead you to it.

Bingel [31]

At the end of practice, Joseph will need to run another 1.75 miles or 1 3/4 miles.

To determine this we need to subtract the amounts he already has run during practice from the goal of 3 miles.

3 miles - 1/2 miles - 1/4 miles - 1/4 miles - 1/4 miles = 1.75 miles
