x over 5 becuase the top and bottom are both divisible by 8 so you do that.
120/1500=x/100, x=8
So, you make 8% commision, meaning you now have to do this:
x/1300=8/100, so x=$104
First you must distribute the 1/4 to get
: 1/2x^2-3=15
then you have to add three to both sides so it become
: 1/2x^2=18
then divide by 1/2 to get
:x^2 =36
then take the square root to get a final answer of
:x=6
Answer:
36 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5 miles/6 mins = 3 miles/x mins
In order to convert the ratio from 0.5 miles to 3 miles, 0.5 was multiplied by 6. Therefore, to keep the ratio the same, 6 minutes must also be multiplied by 6 to find x. This means the answer is:
3 miles/36 mins
Answer:
- 1.5 times
- bottle Y
- third bottle
Step-by-step explanation:
Insufficient dimensions are given to compute an exact volume of each geometry, so we have to assume that the volume is proportional to the product of base area and height. Then the relative volumes will be ...
bottle X: (6 in)(2 in)(1 in) = 12 in^3
bottle Y: (4 in)(3 in)(1.5 in) = 18 in^3
3rd bottle: (3 in)(6 in^2) = 18 in^3
That is, the relative volumes are ...
X : Y : 3rd = 12 : 18 : 18 = 1 : 1.5 : 1.5
The corresponding relative prices are ...
X : Y : 3rd = 9.96 : 14.40 : 13:20 = 1 : 1.446 : 1.325
__
A. Bottle Y has 1.5 times as much lotion as Bottle X.
__
B. Bottle Y is a better buy than Bottle X. (The price relative to X is less than the volume relative to X.)
__
C. The 3rd bottle is the best buy. For the same volume, the price of the 3rd bottle is less than that of Bottle Y.
_____
Note that the relative volume and price ratios are found by dividing all the numbers in the ratio sequence by the first number:
12 : 18 : 18 = (12/12) : (18/12) : (18/12)
9.96 : 14.40 : 13.20 = (9.96/9.96) : (14.40/9.96) : (13.20/9.96)
