Answer:

350

Step-by-step explanation:

Introduction. Percent, p%

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100

120% = 120/100 = 120 ÷ 100 = 1.2

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

Percentage of 120% of what number = 420?

120% × ? = 420

? =

420 ÷ 120% =

420 ÷ (120 ÷ 100) =

(100 × 420) ÷ 120 =

42,000 ÷ 120 =

350

<h2>Proof</h2><h3>How do we check the result?</h3>

If 120% × 350 = 420 =>

Divide 420 by 350...

... And see if we get as a result: 120%

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,

... and its value doesn't change.

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

n/100 = n%, any number.

A pyramid shaped building is 311 feet tall and has a square base with sides of 619 ft. The sides of the building are made from r

zmey [24]

Answer:

Surface area of the reflective glass is 543234.4 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: height = 311 feet, sides of square base = 619 feet.

To determine the slant height, we have;

$l^{2}$ = $311^{2}$ + $309.5^{2}$

= 96721 + 95790.25

= 192511.25

⇒ l = $\sqrt{192511.25}$

= 438.761

The slant height, l is 438.8 feet.

Considering one reflecting surface of the pyramid, its area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × height

area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 619 × 438.8

= 135808.6

= 135808.6 square feet

Since the pyramid has four reflective surfaces,

surface area of the reflective glass = 4 × 135808.6

= 543234.4 square feet

Maria works as a part- time waitress and earns $30 per day plus 2% of all sales of food and drinks during the day

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$y = 30 + 0.02x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Write an equation to present her daily earnings?

Let daily sales be represented by x and daily earnings be represented by y.

y is calculated as thus;

$y = Earnings + Commission * Sales$

$y = 30 + 2\% * x$

Convert percentage to decimal

$y = 30 + 0.02 * x$

$y = 30 + 0.02x$

Hence, her daily earnings is $y = 30 + 0.02x$
