Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

If employment is expected to increase by 14.8% between 01/2009 and 01/2016 and the employees number 19, 100 in 01/2009, how many
AlexFokin [52]

Based on the rate of increase, the number of employees that will be there in 2016 is<u> 21,927 people.</u>

<h3>Number of employees in 2016</h3>

This can be calculated by the formula:

= Employees in 2009 x ( 1 + rate of increase)

Solving gives

= 19,100 x (1 + 14.8%)

= 21,926.8

= 21,927 people

In conclusion, there will be 21,927 people in 2016.

Find the value of x. Express your answer in simplest radical form
klemol [59]
Since x=x, this is an isosceles right triangle.  By the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=a^2+b^2  (the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the squared sides)

5^2=x^2+x^2

25=2x^2

2x^2=25

x^2=25/2

x=√(25/2)

x=5/√2  now if we rationalize the denominator...

x=(5√2)/(√2√2)

x=(5√2)/2
