Here are the resulting percentages:
LEAH = 3.5%
RATHA = 2.3%
ED = 1.8%
CHRIS = 4.2%
MARY = 2.5%
You arrive at this answer by dividing the bonus by the wages
BONUS/WAGE = PERCENTAGE OF BONUS TO WAGE.
Chris had the greatest percentage of wages in his bonus
Ok, so the quadratic coefient is 1, so great
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
10/2=5, (5)^2=25
add that to both sides
x^2+10x+25=7+25
factor perfect square trionomial
(x+5)^2=32
squaer root both sides
x+5=+/-4√2
minus 5
x=-5+/-4√2
x=-5+4√2 and -5-4√2
Answer: To solve these types of questions what I always do is get a protractor if you have one and put it up against to where the dot is in the middle of the empty hole and then get a ruler or a pencil and make the line keep going to see what angle. In this case your answer is 65% I think.
