Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Old value = 200

New value = 260

We will calculate the change using;

$Change = new \; number - old \; number$

Substituting the values, we have;

$Change = 260 - 200$

Change = 60

Mathematically, percentage change is given by the formula;

$Percentage \; change = \frac{increase}{original \; number} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Percentage \; change = \frac{60}{200} * 100$

$Percentage \; change = 0.3 * 100$

Percent change = 30%

Therefore, the percent change is 30%

Answer:

$P(A) = 0.45$

$P(B) = 0.32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(A) > P(B)$

$P(A\ u\ B) = 0.626$

$P(A\ n\ B) = 0.144$

Required

Find P(A) and P(B)

We have that:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$ --- (1)

and

$P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B)$ --- (2)

The equations become:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$ --- (1)

$0.626 = P(A) + P(B) - 0.144$

Collect like terms

$P(A) + P(B) = 0.626 + 0.144$

$P(A) + P(B) = 0.770$

Make P(A) the subject

$P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)$

$P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B)$ --- (2)

$0.144 = P(A) * P(B)$

$P(A) * P(B) = 0.144$

Substitute: $P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)$

$[0.770 - P(B)] * P(B) = 0.144$

Open bracket

$0.770P(B) - P(B)^2 = 0.144$

Represent P(B) with x

$0.770x - x^2 = 0.144$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 - 0.770x + 0.144 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 - 0.45x - 0.32x + 0.144 = 0$

Factorize:

$x[x - 0.45] - 0.32[x - 0.45]= 0$

Factor out x - 0.45

$[x - 0.32][x - 0.45]= 0$

Split

$x - 0.32= 0 \ or\ x - 0.45= 0$

Solve for x

$x = 0.32\ or\ x = 0.45$

Recall that:

$P(B) = x$

So, we have:

$P(B) = 0.32 \ or \ P(B) = 0.45$

Recall that:

$P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)$

So, we have:

$P(A) = 0.770 - 0.32 \ or\ P(A) =0.770 - 0.45$

$P(A) = 0.45 \ or\ P(A) =0.32$

Since:

$P(A) > P(B)$

Then:

$P(A) = 0.45$

$P(B) = 0.32$

Answer:

You will find the answer easily after doing the steps below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have graph paper, this is really easy to do. All you need to do is draw a graph. Then you will number the squares. Next, find the points (-2, 7) and (6, -9). Draw a line connecting the two points you have created.

h2 + 52 = 102

h2 = 102 − 52 = 100 − 25 = 75 = 52×3

h = 53 ≈ 8.7

Area A = ½×10×h ≈ ½×10×8.7 ≈ 43 cm2

Hope this helps

The answer is 8, that line is 180° and we know 140. 180-140=40 and it’s 5x so that leaves us with 5x=40. divide 5 on both sides leaving 8
