Answer: 625

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of readers have newspaper.

Given: 8% of x = 50  

Since 8% = 0.08  [we divide percent by 100yo convert it in decimal ]

So, 0.08x =50

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{50}{0.08}=\dfrac{5000}{8}

\Rightarrow\ x= 625

Hence,  the total number of readers have newspaper = 625

Nicole and adam are each saving money for a car. the total amount of money nicole will save is represented by the function f (x)
Yakvenalex [24]
For this case we have the following functions:
 f (x) = 36 + 4x
 g (x) = x2 + 15
 By matching both functions we have:
 f (x) = g (x)
 36 + 4x = x2 + 15
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + 15 - 4x - 36 = 0
 x2 - 4x - 21 = 0
 Solving the polynomial we have:
 (x-7) (x + 3) = 0
 x = -3
 x = 7
 Taking the positive root we have:
 x = 7
 Answer:
 
They will have the same amount of money saved after:
 
x = 7 weeks

A new television is on sale for $680.00, which is 20% off of its original price. What was the original price of the television?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Original price of the television = $850

Step-by-step explanation:

Television price on sale = $680.00

% of sale = 20%

It means price on sale = 80% = $680.00

Original price of the television = 100% = ?

Price on 1% = 680/80 = $8.5

Original price of the television = 100% = $8.5 x 100

                                                  = $850

Find the area of the shaded regions of the following figures. Will Give Brainliest!! Answer ASAP
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Rectangle 1 area: 53 units squared

Shape 2 area: 43.75 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Shape 1:

We need to find the area of the two triangles in this rectangle and subtract it from the total area of the rectangle.

Total area of the rectangle:

13 * 5 = 65

Area of triangles (they are congruent):

1/2 * 4 * 3 = 6

6 * 2 = 12

65 - 12 = 53

The area of the shaded part is 53 (I don't know what your unit of measurement is. Just say units.)

Shape 2:

First, let's find the area of the parallelogram at the top.

10 * 3 = 30

Now, let's find the area of the rest of the shape. Triangle first...

1/2 * 4 * 1.5 = 3

Now, the rectangle and the tiny triangle we can section out at the end:

7 * 1.5 = 10.5 + 1/4 (Triangle) or 0.25 = 10.75

Total area: 10.75 + 3 + 30 = 43.75

I need help with this please and thank you.
SashulF [63]

Answer: I believe the answer would be as follows:

8.431 grams

5.46 seconds

980 meters

900 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

it would first be which has the largest number after the decimal point, so if there’s three it goes first (0.12*3*). Then you would pick the one that is the smallest form of measurement, which would be meters in this case.


Hope this helped!
