How did newton know that 1%of 80 is 0.8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
8 0
So,

Newton knows that 1% of anything really just means moving the decimal point two places to the left.

Examples:
1% of 10 = 0.1

1% of 389,092,192 = 3,890,921.92

1% of 3.1415926 = 0.031415926

Knowing this, Newton figures that all he has to do is move the decimal place two places to the left.

1% of 80 = 0.8

The ellipse with x-intercepts (2, 0) and (-2, 0); y-intercepts (0, 4) and (0, -4).
masya89 [10]

Answer:

\dfrac{x^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{16}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ellipse has its x-intercepts at points (2, 0) and (-2, 0) and y-intercepts at points (0, 4) and (0, -4), then its symmetric across the y-axis and across the x-axis.

Moreover,

a=2\\ \\b=4

The equation of such ellipse is

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1

Hence, the equation of the ellipse is

\dfrac{x^2}{2^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{4^2}=1\\ \\ \\\dfrac{x^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{16}=1

Consider a game in which you flip a coin. If it comes up heads, you earn 1 point; if it comes up tails, you earn 0 points. What
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

C. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a coin has 2 sides and there is the same probability of getting either side, then each side has a 50% or 0.5 probability. Therefore, in order to calculate the expected value of one coin flip we need to multiply the value of each side by its probability and add those values together like so...

1 * 0.5 = 0.5

0 * 0.5 = 0

Now we add these values together...

0.5 + 0 = 0.5

Finally, we can see that the expected value of one coin flip is 0.5

A bag of corn tortilla chips costs 2.89 after a 15% discount. What is the original price?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the bag be = P, the selling price =2.89 after a 15% discount,

Then, Selling price= Original price- Discount on original price

2.89=P-P(0.15)

2.89=P(1-0.15)

2.89=0.85P

P=\frac{2.89}{0.85}

P=3.4

Thus, the original price was 3.4.
