This is a simultaneous question.
To solve this, we have to make up 2 equations based on the info provided like so:
electricity = e
gas = g
600e + 100g = $412 ——(1)
400e + 150g = $293 ——(2)
In this case, it’ll be easier to use the elimination method where you eliminate a variable so you can calculate only one.
Here, we will be eliminating e so we can get the cost of gas.
To do this we need to get both equation’s e to 600, so we have to multiply equation 2 by 1.5:
(2) x 1.5:
400e + 150g = $293
600e + 225g = $439.50 ——(3)
Now we eliminate e by subtracting equation 1 from equation 3:
(3) - (1):
600e + 225g - 600e - 100g = $439.50 -$412
125g = $27.50
g = $0.22.
Therefore one unit of gas costs $0.22.
Hope it helps and have a good day ahead :D
To find a percentage of a number, you just need to multiply the percentage by that number.
Percentages must be converted into decimal form before any work can take place. We can do that by either dividing the percentage by 100, or (my personal shortcut) by just shifting the decimal point to the left two places.
276% = 2.76
Then, we just need to multiply.
2.76 * 8 = 22.08
Since the question requires the answer in fraction form, we need to convert 22.08 to a mixed number. This mixed number would be 22 2/25
276% of 8 in fraction form is 22 and 2/25.
Hope this helped =)
Next time you post a question, break it up into a couple of questions. If you don't want to do that use paragraphs and finally, if that doesn't suit you add more points -- Please. No offense intended. the please is genuine.
1. A triangle = 180o. If one is 90, the other 2 will be a total of 90o
Answer C: <<<====
2. A looks like the correct answer. 30 + 100 = 130 ; 180 - 130 = 50
3. You need a diagram to get the third one.
I believe that the answer is c because of the 30-60-90 rules
Do you have an iea of what do to before i give you the answer?
