This is very simple to do. Take out your calculator and insert 14.4. However, move the decimal two places to the left to get .144, and multiply it by 72.5 to get your answer of 10.44.
Answer: 81%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a student received the following test scores: 71%, 89%, 72%,
84% and 83% in 5 tests and the student wants to maintain an average of 80%.
The lowest score/grade they can receive on the next test to maintain at least an 80% average first thus:
First, to make it easy we can remove the percent sign. Then we multiply 80 by 6 since we're calculating for 6 tests scores. This will be:
= 80 × 6
= 480
We then add all the 5 test scores. This will be:
= 71 + 89 + 72 + 84 + 83
= 399
We then subtract the values gotten. This will be:
= 480 - 399
= 81
This means the student must get at least 81%
Answer:
The combined score was 191
Explanation:
91 (Colin’s score) + 9 (how many more Brian had than Colin) = 100 (Brian’s score)
91 (Colin’s score) + 100 (Brian’s score) = 191 (combined score)
Answer:
232°
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to find the desired direction. Perhaps the most straightforward is to add up the coordinates of the travel vectors.
30∠270° +50∠210° = 30(cos(270°), sin(270°)) +50(cos(210°), sin(210°))
= (0, -30) +(-43.301, -25) = (-43.301, -55)
Then the angle from port is ...
arctan(-55/-43.301) ≈ 231.79° . . . . . . . 3rd quadrant angle
The bearing of the ship from port is about 232°.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
The term "knot" is conventionally used to indicate a measure of speed (nautical mile per hour), not distance. It is derived from the use of a knotted rope to estimate speed. Knots on the rope were typically 47 ft 3 inches apart. As a measure of distance 30 knots is about 1417.5 feet.
