Answer:

0.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{24}{4000} = 0.6%

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 4000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 4000, so we can write it down as 100%=4000.

4. We know, that x% equals 24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=4000

2) x%=24

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=4000/24

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24 is what percent of 4000

100%/x%=4000/24

(100/x)*x=(4000/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=166.666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (166.666666667) to get x

100/166.666666667=x

0.6=x

x=0.6

now we have:

24 is 0.6% of 4000

Determine the length of AY if ARAY is a 30°-60°-90° triangle and RY has a length of 48 centimeters.
viva [34]

Answer:

48√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that ∠A = 30°, ∠R = 60°, and ∠Y = 90°.

The sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:√3:2.

RY is opposite the 30° angle and has length 48 cm.

AY is opposite the 60° angle, so the length of AY = 48√3 cm.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

16 players can be brought to the tournament. The equation is written within my step-by-step explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable p = number of players

Set up an equation:

974.50 + 60.75p = 1946.50

Isolate variable p:

60.75p = 972

Divide:

p = 16

Check your work:

974.50 + 60.75(16) = 1946.50

974.50 + 972 = 1946.50

1946.50 = 1946.50

Correct!
