Answer:

$27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of a number, we can use the formula Px = y.

In this formula, P is the percent we are finding. x and y are the numbers we are given, x being the number we are finding a percentage of and y being the answer.

To substitute a percent into the formula, we have to first convert it into a decimal. Simply remove the % sign and move the decimal point two places to the left. We have 0.55.

Now we can plug in our values.

0.55 · 60 = y

0.55 · 60 = 33

55% of 60 is 33.

The question asks for the price of the item when 55% is taken off of the original price.

So, we have to subtract 33 from 60.

60 - 33 = 27

The sale price, then, is $27.

I hope this helps ^^

Good luck :)

Let

y------> the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint

b-----> the amounts (in liters) of blue paint

we know that

$\frac{y}{b}=\frac{3}{5}$

$y=\frac{3}{5}b$

therefore

the answer is

$y=\frac{3}{5}b$

Which ordered pair (c, d) is the solution to the given system of linear equations?

sasho [114]

Answer:

(-1,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing part of this question is the system given as;

$-c+2d=13$

$-9c-4d=-15$

We solve for c in the top equation to get:

$c=2d-13$

Substitute $c=2d-13$ into the bottom equation to get:

$-9(2d-13)-4d=-15$

Expand to get:

$-18d+117-4d=-15$

Group similar terms to get:

$-18d-4d=-15-117$

$-22d=-132$

$d=6$

Put $d=6$ into $c=2d-13$ to get:

$c=2*6-13$

$c=12-13=-1$

The solution is (-1,6)

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (03.03 LC) If a figure has been dilated by a scale factor of 4, which statement expla

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

A translation can map one angle unto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation of the figure by a scale factor of 4 gives an image that is 4 times the size of the original figure. However, the interior angles of the image and the original figure remain the same

A translation is a rigid transformation, such that the image and the preimage of a translation transformation have the same dimensions and angles

A translation of three consecutive non-linear points of the dilated image to the vertex and the two lines joining the corresponding point on the image, translates the angle at the given vertex

The above process can be repeated, to translate a second angle from the image to the preimage, from which it can be shown that the two figures are similar using Angle Angle, AA, similarity postulate

The linear scale factor of two shapes is 3:4. If the area of the smallest shape is 72^2 what is the area of the big shape?

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$\boxed{6912 units^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well using the given ratio,

3:4

And the area of the small shape we need to do,

72*72 = 5184

Now we can make the following fractions,

$\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{5184}{x}$

Now we can solve,

3*x = 3x

4 * 5184 = 20736

3x = 20736

20736 / 3

x = 6912

So the area of the bigger shape is 6912 units^2

Hope this helps :)
