Solution :

The number of employees currently in a company = 268

Percentage of employees less than a year ago = 33%

Let he number of people a year ago = x

∴ At present the number of employees = $x - x \times \frac{33}{100}$

   ⇒ 268 = x (1 - 0.33)

   ⇒ 268 = 1x -0.33 x

   ⇒ 268 = 0.67 x

    ⇒ x = 400

Number of employees in a year is = 400

Solve the following dividend problem.
brilliants [131]

A.

To get dividend per share, we need to divide total dividend by total numbers of shares outstanding.

Dividend per share = \frac{40,000}{50,000}=0.8 dollars.


B.

Since per share you get $0.8, for 100 shares you will get 0.8*100=80 dollars.

Also, that is \frac{80}{40,000}*100=0.2 percent of the total dividends.


ANSWER:

A. $0.8 per share

B. $80 (and that is 0.2% of total dividend)

Find the side in of point a to point c
vladimir1956 [14]

Step 1:

Calculate the measure of angle ∠ABC

\angle DBC+\angle ABC=180(\text{ sum of angles on a straight line)}\angle ABC=65^0\begin{gathered} \angle DBC+\angle ABC=180 \\ \angle DBC+65^0=180^0 \\ \angle DBC=180^0-65^0 \\ \angle DBC=115^0 \end{gathered}

From the triangle in the question,

a=10\operatorname{km},c=15\operatorname{km},B=115^0

Step 2:

Calculate the value of AB using the cosine rule below

b^2=a^2+c^2-2\times a\times c\times\cos B

By substituting the values, we will have

\begin{gathered} b^2=a^2+c^2-2\times a\times c\times\cos B \\ b^2=10^2+15^2-2\times10\times15\times\cos 115^0 \\ b^2=100+225-300\times(-0.4226) \\ b^2=325+126.78 \\ b^2=451.78 \\ \text{Square root both sides} \\ \sqrt[]{b^2}=\sqrt[]{451.78} \\ b=21.26\operatorname{km} \end{gathered}

Hence,

The distance of point A to point C is = 21.26km
