Answer:

Let's assume the number be 100.

According to the problem , 100 is increased by 100%.

So, new number will be 100+100=200

Now 200 will decreased by 20%.

So, 20% of 200= 0.20*200= 40.

So, again the number has been changed into 200+40=240.

So, x=240

Answer:

x/1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. When n is increased by 100%, its new value is ...

n(1 +100%) = n(1 +1) = 2n

When this value is decreased by 20%, its new value is ...

(2n)(1 -20%) = (2n)(0.8) = 1.6n

This value is x, so the number is ...

1.6n = x

n = x/1.6 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 1.6

The points(1,r) and (5,-4) lie on a line with slope 5. find the missing coordinate r.

Arte-miy333 [17]

The value of r is -24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(1,r) and (5,-4)

Let the points be:

(x1,y1) = (1,r)

(x2,y2) = (5,-4)

m = 5

The slope is given by:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\5 = \frac{-4-r}{5-1}\\5 = \frac{-4-r}{4}\\5 * 4 = -4-r\\20 = -4-r\\20+4 = -4-r+4\\24 = -r\\r = -24$

Hence,

The value of r is -24

3x+15-7x=-7 solve for x

xenn [34]

3x+15−7x=−7

Simplify:

3x+15−7x=−7

3x+15+−7x=−7

(3x+−7x)+(15)=−7(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+15=−7

Subtract 15 from both sides.

−4x+15−15=−7−15

−4x=−22

Divide both sides by -4.

−4x/−4=−22/−4

x=11/2

The data below are the monthly average high temperatures for New York City. What is the five-number summary? 40, 40, 48, 61, 72,

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B) Sample minimum: 40, Sample maximum: 84

Q1: 45, Median: 63, Q3: 77

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to write the temperatures in crescent order:

40, 40, 42, 48, 54, 61, 65, 72, 76, 78, 84, 84,

The sample minimum is the lowest value = 40

The sample maximum is the highest value = 84.

Since there are 12 numbers, the sample median is the average between the 6th and 7th terms:

$M = \frac{61+65}{2}\\ M=63$

The first quartile is the average between the 3rd and 4th terms:

$Q_1 = \frac{42+48}{2}\\ Q_1=45$

The third quartile is the average between the 9th and 10th terms:

$Q_3 = \frac{76+78}{2}\\ Q_3=77$

Therefore, the answer is:

B) Sample minimum: 40, Sample maximum: 84

Q1: 45, Median: 63, Q3: 77
