When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
She scored 1200 in all ten games
Answer:
1yr 47,000, 2nd yr 48,880, 3rd yr 51,617.28, 4th yr 57,346.7981 or 57,346.80
Step-by-step explanation:
1yr 47,000
2nd yr 47,000 x 4% = 48,880
3rd yr 48,880 x 5.6% = 51,617.28
4th yr 51,617.28 x 11.1% = 57,346.7981 or 57,346.80
(8x + 2y) - (7x + 2y) = 30 - 24
X = 6
Answer: 2160°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a polygon is represented by the formula:
Sum = (n - 2) x 180° where n is the number of sides in the polygon
In this case, the complex polygon has 14 sides (n = 14)
So, (14 - 2) x 180°
= 12 x 180°
= 2160°
Thus, the sum of interior angles of a convex 14-gon is 2160°
