Answer:

125 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Computers purchased in the last month = 8

By the middle of the current month, 8 more computers than the last month were purchased. This means, total number of computers purchased by middle of current month = 8 + 8 = 16

Number of computers purchased by end of current month = 2

So,

Total computers purchased by current month = 16 + 2 = 18

We have to find the percentage increase in the number of computers from last month's purchases to the end of this month's purchases. The formula for percentage change is:

\text{Percentage Change}=\frac{\text{New Value - Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \times 100\%

Here, Original Value is the number of computers from last month and New Value is the number of computers from current month. Using the values in the formula, we get:

\text{Percentage Change}=\frac{18-8}{8} \times 100\% = 125\%

Thus, there was a 125% increase from last month's purchases to the end of this month's purchases

A right cylinder ice cream cone has 600 cubic centimeters of ice cream, what is the radius of the cone of the height is 15 centi
choli [55]
The formula for volume is V=Bh where  B is the area of the base. 
plug in what they have given you:
600=B(15) you can divide both sides by 15

40=B    We know that a cylinder's base is a circle so we can use the area f                           formula for a circle to solve for the radius.
40 = pi(r)^2   divide both sides by pi to get the r^2 alone
40/pi=r^2     square root both sides to get rid of the square
you should get
r=3.5 approximately

PLEASE HELP- Vanessa earns a base salary of $400.00 every week with an additional 5% commission on everything she sells. Vanessa
matrenka [14]
The commission is 5% on everything she sells
If she sold $1650.00
First you have to find her commission
100%=1650
5%=x
100•x=1650•5
100•x=8250
—— ———
100 100
x=82.5(this is her commission)
Now you have to add $82.5 to total she earns in the week.
$400.00+ $82.5 = $482.5
The Vanessa’s total pay last week was $482.5

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measure of the space diagonal line in the box
madreJ [45]

Answer:

14.42inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

b = 5 in

c = 8in

we are to find the measure of the space diagonal line

Using the pythagoras theoreml

l^2 = b^2 + c^2

l^2 = 13^2 - 5^2

l^2 = 169 -25

l^2 = 144

l = 12in

To get the measure of the space diagonal line in the box, we will use the pythagoras theorem;

s^2 = l^2 + c^2

s^2 = 144 + 8^2

s^2 = 144 + 64

s^2 = 208

s= 14.42inches

Hence the required length ix 14.42inches
