% change= (new # - original #) ÷ original # x 100
original #= 98
new #= 62
% change= (62-98)/98 x 100
= -36/98 x 100
= -0.36734 x 100
= -36.73%
Rounded to nearest 10th of %= -36.7%
CHECK:
= 98 - (98 * 36.73%)
= 98 - (98 * 0.3673)
= 98 - 36
= 62 new #
ANSWER:
Her percent error was 36.7% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent). The negative indicates a decrease.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
k = 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
When dealing with inverse variation, the two variables vary in opposite directions. This means that as the first variable increases, second variable decreases and as the first variable reduces,the second variable increases.
Y varies inversely with x.
So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.
We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k
y = k/x
From the information given,
The constant of variation = k
The value if x = 6.4
The value of y = 1.5
To find the value of k
y = k/x
k = yx = 1.5 × 6.4
k = 9.6
Hello! The value of x+y is 12
Make sure to read an explanation so you can understand the solution better.
Any questions about the answer and explanation can be asked through comments.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simply solve the system of equations by substituting x = 3y in the first equation
Therefore, the value of y is 3. Then we substitute the value of y in x = 3y.
Therefore, the value of x is 9.
Since you want to find x+y, simply add 9 and 3 as we get 12.
Therefore x+y = 12.
